FPG wouldnt left justify, wasnt aligning vertically & just wasnt working right

this plugin seemed to be exactly the answer I was looking for, but i wasn’t having much luck with it from the get go. after HOURS of tooling around (and i’m far from a coder), I finally started hacking out tons of code. I’m not sure what was causing this issue for me and not others, but if anyone else has weird alignment problems, here was my solution.

original code in fgp.css.php:

ul.fpg-row {
height: <?php echo ($fpg_item_height + ($fpg_inner_border_width * 2) + $fpg_item_border_bottom_width + $fpg_item_border_top_width) ?>px;
padding-left: <?php echo ($fpg_item_width + ($fpg_inner_border_width * 2) + $fpg_item_border_left_width + $fpg_item_border_right_width) ?>px;
padding-bottom: <?php echo $fpg_spacing_horizontal ?>px;
}

li.fpg-item {
height: <?php echo $fpg_item_height ?>px;
width: <?php echo (100.0 / ($fpg_columns - 1)) ?>%
}

li.fpg-item.fpg-last-col {
width: <?php echo floor(100.0 / ($fpg_columns - 1)) ?>%
}

modified code in fgp.css.php:
(notice that I *ONLY* removed 1 instance of px and 2 instances of %)

ul.fpg-row {
height: <?php echo ($fpg_item_height + ($fpg_inner_border_width * 2) + $fpg_item_border_bottom_width + $fpg_item_border_top_width) ?>px;
padding-left: <?php echo ($fpg_item_width + ($fpg_inner_border_width * 2) + $fpg_item_border_left_width + $fpg_item_border_right_width) ?>;
padding-bottom: <?php echo $fpg_spacing_horizontal ?>px;
}

li.fpg-item {
height: <?php echo $fpg_item_height ?>px;
width: <?php echo (100.0 / ($fpg_columns - 1)) ?>
}

li.fpg-item.fpg-last-col {
width: <?php echo floor(100.0 / ($fpg_columns - 1)) ?>
}

I can only hope that my hours of hacking won’t go to waste… and that someone else with these problems will be able to quickly avoid them by reading this.
