Feature Slider - to occupy about 75% of the screen?

Hi guys - afraid the problems with sidebar and slider placement continue: www.alexbulgo.com The text you see on the left is in a sidebar. On the right is the slider. Unofrtunately I cannot get the slider to take up the remaining width of the content area - i.e to start to the right of the sidebar and continue to the edge of the black centre area. The code used to align the sidebnar and slider is as follows: The mystery is: if I have a global width of 960, with a sidebar of 240, a slider of 710 and combined padding of 30 then the entire width of my site should be filled and then some...instead I have about 100px of blank space to the right of the slider that defies filling! One suggestion was that the inline style on

background: url('http://alexbulgo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Blue7.jpg''>http://alexbulgo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Blue7.jpg') no-repeat top center; is causing the problem with the fix being: .feature-wrap.wcontent { background: url('http://alexbulgo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Blue7.jpg''>http://alexbulgo.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Blue7.jpg') no-repeat top right !important; } But since that is specific to the image shown, when I cycle through the feature slider images (assuming I can) the problem will occur for all images other than the one mentioned in the custom code..... Any thoughts please? AB

Hey Alex, I know from yesterday your sidebar still had padding set on it. So, padding plus width equals [i]a larger width[/i]. So, make sure you reset the padding (and margins) of the sidebar. In addition: your first line of CSS is off: [code]#feature_slider div.default-features {float: right; width: 680px;margin-bottom:-100px;} [/code] should be: [code]#feature_slider div.default-features {float: right; width: 710px;margin-bottom:-100px;} [/code]
