Colleagues: I am sending a modified form of a message I recently sent.
I am frankly confused about how margins are working, especially in regard to center content in my site. In the css file among listed below, I am trying to get the center material, which is a picture with a paragraph of gibberish below, to expand horizontally to the right so that it fills the white space currently there. the center material is located in the div#content div#content is located inside another div#wrapper I have been experimenting by changing the values in div#content. When I made the right margin value in #content 200px, the center content moved under the left nav bar. When I made the right margin value in #content 100px, the center content then expanded, but a bit more than i wanted. I have been trying to read up on it, but I'm not sure how this margin property works? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. here is the html: http://www.westchicago.lib.il.us/R/stuff/newlayout/wcpld_b1.html below is the css and the javascript file: http://www.westchicago.lib.il.us/R/stuff/newlayout/layout2.css http://www.westchicago.lib.il.us/R/stuff/newlayout/wcpld.js Thank you very much for any help.
