CSS elastic layout - Why does main column have two widths?

In my first all-CSS site, things were going well until I added content to the pages.
The layout is Dreamweaver's 3-column elastic with a header and footer. I also inserted an extra div for a Spry horizontal menu.
As soon as the main column content gets below that of the sidebars, it expands -- the top three paragraphs might appear about 5 inches wide and all the rest below are 6 inches wide. I don't get it.
See www.krempelsfoundation.org/test/test.html. Any help appreciated.

You don't have enough left and right margins on your #mainContent division.  Try this:
.thrColElsHdr #mainContent {
margin: 0 15em 0 15em; /**left & right margins = space down the sides**/
padding-top: 3em;

  • Why does my Finder have two different languages in the Menu?

    Hi
    My Finder seems to be showing two different languages? Most of the menu items, like File, Edit, View, Go and Help are all in English (my preferred language under System Pref, International, Language). However, i am not exactly sure when (or what i did), but some of the menu items under Finder (Shutdown, Sleep, Restart etc.) and under Window (all of the menu items) were in a Chinese language.
    So i went to the System Pref, Internaltional, Language and unchecked them. So that only the English variants were selected. I restarted....and all it did was change the same menu items that were in Chinese to a Norwegian (????) type language.
    I have reinstalled my OS 10.4 and it was still the same. I then ran all the updates....and it was still the same.
    I have run the Optional Install on the OS 10.4 disk, and tried the Language Translators reinstalled....and still the same.
    Apart from formatting.....does anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi BDAqua
    I trashed the /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist file ......rebooted....and it didn't fix the language issue in Finder.
    I then did as you suggested (show package contents) and found the file path System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder
    I then did a Get Info....but didn't see any language section tabs.
    When i Get Info on the System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app
    I can see the language tab.....but it is all shaded out (i.e. i can't make any changes). I tried under the Ownership and Permissions tab to change the "Owner" section from System to My Name. However, this did not give me access to the language tab. I also tried to change the "Group" section to My Name (was on Wheel????). But i had no success in changing the language.
    Are there any other angles i could try?
    I have done quite an extensive search on the internet.....but haven't found anyone with the exact same issue. This was the closest... http://forums.macosxhints.com/archive/index.php/t-34796.html
    But i tried everything they suggested (except the format option). I haven't posted on any other forums yet either.
    Thanks again BDAqua for all your assistance!

  • Why does my clip have a higher quality in the viewer than the canvas?

    When I am editing, I have noticed that sometimes my images and clips have a drastically higher quality in the viewer than the canvas/timeline, what is causing this, and how do I edit and export my films with the highest quality possible?

    >Why does my clip have a higher quality in the viewer than the canvas?
    The answer is very simple; the Viewer shows the media at its native resolution while the Canvas shows the media at the Sequence resolution.  I'd bet that in your case, the original media is of higher resolution that the Sequence in the Timeline.

  • Why does my screen have a circle with contact name

    why does my screen have a circle with contact name

    it might be the recents feature showing up on the home screen, this can be switched off.Once you’ve completed the upgrade to iOS 8, head to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down until you see the Contacts section and tap on Show In App Switcher. Here you’ll see the options for displaying contacts in the app switcher screen: your iPhone favorites, your recent contacts, or both. Note that if you enable both favorites and recent contacts, your favorites will be displayed first, and you’ll have to scroll to the right to see your recent contacts.

  • Why does my music have a red circle with a square dot beside it and how do i remove it

    why does my music have a red circle with a square dot beside it

    Here's what I had to do, no thanks to the others on here who go at it like Apple, delete and restore.
    No, you don't have to delete and restore. Just open a folder on  your computer, call it something like iPad music, keep it open, open iTunes, select all your music, copy and paste it in the folder you just created, delete all your music from iTunes (relax, you just copied it into that folder). Select all the music in that folder, drop it back onto your playlist. Now, I renamed my playlist, because it was called untitled, originally, so if that doesn't work, rename, or delete and recreate your playlist, copy the music back over, sync, and they will play.
    Worked for me, anyhow. Good luck!

  • Why does my keyboard have a gap in it?

    Why does my keyboard have a gap in it?

    If the keyboard is split and covering your text, Pull the two ends of the keyboard together - into the middle of the screen. You can also tap and hold down on the little keyboard icon in the lower right corner of the keyboard and select - Dock and Merge.
    If the keyboard is up on the middle of the screen, but not split, and you want to move it back to the bottom - tap and hold down on the little keyboard and icon and select - Dock
    You can turn the split keyboard off in Settings>General>Keyboard>Split Keyboard>Off.

  • Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

    I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • Why does Verizon not provide 3G coverage in Western Maryland (Garrett County) and why does it not have an agreement with US Cellular for such coverage?

    Why does Verizon not provide 3G coverage in Western Maryland (Garrett County) and why does it not have an agreement with US Cellular for such coverage?

        Thanks for the zip code pfekete. I looked into the coverage in your area and I do see you are in an extended 1X data coverage which explains why you're not connecting to 3G. What phone do you have? We may be able to advise you on how to adjust the settings so it picks up the strongest signal. I apologize for the inconvenience.

  • Why does color not have a 1440x1080 Resolution preset?

    1. Why does color not have a 1440x1080 Resolution preset? Im using ProRes HQ in FCP and clips at 1440x1080. But when they come out of Color they are 1920x1080? I notice from color there is no 1440x1080 Res preset so strange?
    2. In addition ive also noticed that I dont have the choice of 'Original Codec' in the render codec settings. Only ProRes, ProRes HQ, Uncompressed 8bit and 10bit. SO i use the higher quality 10bit.
    Message was edited by: StingRay67

    Ok, I class myself as a patient person and not one to fly off the handle. However, Color is testing me to the limits. I cannot work out for the life of me how this application is trying to handle my footage.
    I sending 1440x1080 thats been encoded 1440x1080 50i. This footage is ending up in the Color pref settings or as 1920x1080!! Secondly when I send this back to FCP obviously my Sequence will have changed to match 1920x1080.. thus up scaling the whole project! Then if that weren't enough, taking a look at the data-rates in the clip settings of the Color Sequence they read in excess of 131.5 mb/s My HDD give up immediately! (Is one supposed to render the timeline first once this footage is back from color? - i dont just mean because of the transitions etc)
    Now.. to yet further confuse the issue I then do a Render ALL in FCP and the Color Sequence plays back fine though still with the wrong Resolution of 1920x1080?
    to be frank, i just dont know where to start with this.. it seems 1 step forward 3 steps back each time. I can appreciate Im new to this but I thought I knew enough not to encounter such petty problems as just setting Color up for import/export. Im going to say it... Is this a Color problem or what? I dont think there are many of you using PAL with HDV into ProRes HQ or ProRes so I guess its going to have to be a £200 call to Apple? .. Which I probably wont do..
    Here's hoping.

  • Why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

    why does siri only have business and maps for U.S and not Ausstralia?

    what does this mean ?
    Beta means it is unfinished, not fully featured and may have bugs.
    so is it not possible for siri to tell me the weather, and maps and businesses for Australia?
    That's correct. Nor will it do it for me in the UK. As it say's in the Siri FAQ I linked to:
    "Maps and local search support will be available in additional countries in 2012."

    auctioneer,
    Obviously, you are using the transparency available for the GIF format.
    In addition, you should tick the Anti-Aliasing which is, unfortunately, hidden away like a hidden feature in the Image Size window within Save for Web.
