First, thanks to all who've replied so far with suggestions for the new site I'm building (www3.law.northwestern.edu/macarthur) w/ CSS styling. I'm reading up on the suggestion to implement a background image to create faux columns.
In the meantime, I'm also working on fixing a display issue for our main school site. I am trying to set the text width in our content div to only go 80% across since at 100% the length per line is uncomfortably long to read. I've noticed however, that on certain pages that have only a list of links the text is squished in, for example: http://www3.law.northwestern.edu/news/newsevents_archive.html http://www3.law.northwestern.edu/curriculum/coursecatalog/term.cfm This only happens in Firefox, not IE. It may be hard to read the source for our pages since the code is pretty messy and not all XHTML/CSS (designed before I came in), but this is the styling I'm trying for the content div: #content { /*margin: 0;*/ /*old text width*/ padding: 10px 10px 5px 20px; margin: 0 auto 10px 0; /*new text width*/ width: 80%; /*new text width*/ } Is there something I'm doing wrong or forgot to add?
