Anybody have any idea what would cause this:

Error in top sidebar box:

Thanks in advance for your help

 

your website layout obviously does not look healthy. it scrolls horizontally too much. I guess you are using fixed width style sheet and the width is too bid. The problem with your sidebar is also related to the width of your total body width. So if this is not a theme that u designed yourself then get another theme that does not scroll.

 

In your theme you need to edit the CSS for the navigation div. Firebug shows 912px for the width of that box. Change it to 100% or the correct size in pixels.

 

My style.css file is very small for some reason and doesn't allow those adjustments:

Look under widgets.css or style.php

It's under style.php

Are looking there? Firebug shows it being on line 171.

/*--- Navigation Menu Settings ---*/

#nav {
background: url(images/navssbg.png) left top repeat-x;
    background-color: #005de0;
    padding-left:10px;
border-bottom: solid 2px #000000;
    width:952px;  
	margin: 0px; 
    padding-left: 8px; 
    height:33px;
}

Yes, style.php NAV section posted above, line 171 is in the logo section:
