Font & Margin issue…

    Hi all,

    Here is my site:
    http://www.jennifersando.com/livien

    I have two issues, the first one being:
    For the main body of my journal, I have used Arial. For the left sidebar, I wish to have Verdana. I have specified Verdana everywhere in the stylesheet (that references the sidebar) but it still won’t take effect; it keeps it as Arial.

    The second issue:
    I can’t seem to increase the right-side margin above “5px” without the page not liking it — it causes the sidebar to move to the bottom of the page.

    Can someone PLEASE point out where I have gone wrong?

    Many thanks

    I see Verdana, no Arial and a tool I use to find item properties also says Verdana.

    Your margin issue – what are you trying to do ? What is the desired end result ?

    Hmmh… I think I am a nut case – I have been thinking it was Arial the whole time. Oh, dear – thanks for pointing that out.

    The end result for the margin thing is that I would like my content column to be more narrow – I feel it is too wide at the moment. I guessed I needed to adjust the right margin to achieve this? Obviously not?

    Thanks for replying…

    Have you tried adjusting the width in #content ?

    Jayess,
    If you increase the size of the margin for the content box, then the width should be adjusted as well.

    Podz,
    What tool do you use to observe the item properties? (apologies Jayess for hijacking the thread)

    Yay!!!!!

    Thanks Podz and ifelse; I ended up decreasing the width in #content. It’s perfect now!

    I use the Computed Styles bookmarklet – very useful indeed.

    I just checked again.

    #sidebar h1 {
    margin: 10px 0 5px 0;
    font-size:10px;
    color: #645e5e;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-family: arial, verdana;
    }
