    Hi,

    I have 2 widgets on my homepage - one floated left and one floated right

    When there is more content on the right than left widget... the widget right contents flows onto the left side channel

    Is there a way to control the CSS etc, so the left or right widget content always stays on the left or right?

    No link as it's on localhost.... but hope that makes sense!

    Try adding a 'max-width:' to size of the widget in the css.

    Thanks Christopher. That worked... sort of.

    If I have content in my homepage-left widget, then the dimensions of both the left and right widget work.

    But without content in home-left, the home-right content still comes over to the left.

    And even with some content in home-left, if there's more in home-right, it goes left.

    I hope that makes sense. Any ideas how to always 'lock' a widget width so it never goes outside it's width rules?
