setting width of userinfo with css

[iainsherriff]

If you look at http://www.uklows.com/forum/index.php
you can see that the rotating banner repeats at the right hand side.
My banners are all 800 wide (forum used to be fixed width). Forum is now set to 90% width so I want to alter the userinfo div to be a flexible width......... sounds easy but I dont know enough to know if that is possible?
this is the present div coding

Code: [Select]

#userinfo {
font-size: 11px;
color: #fff;
float: right;
padding: 25px 20px;
text-align: left;
}

Can I chenge this to do what I want ?

thanks in advance

Looks like you may have changed things around. The "id=header" is normally before the "id=userinfo" in index.template.php for this particular theme. Somehow you seem to have them switched around.

You may also try adding a proper width to this in index.css.

Code: [Select]

#header {
    background-image: url("../images/banner/rotate.php");
    height: 229px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
}

I probably have changed it around 

I dont really know what I'm doing so I just fiddle until it looks like I want it to 

Maybe this is the time to save what I have and revert to standard and start step by step again. Main trouble is the chaces I have to do stuff are too far apart so I dont remember what I've done enough to learn a pattern

Always save a backup of your original file before making any changes. This not only will help you remember what changes you have made but also acts as somewhat of a safety barrier if you happen to make any mistakes along the way.
