Extra Side Bar

Description

Creates an extra side-bar using the floating div element. It is quite easy if you know CSS.

To use this feature, copy the code below into your wiki page.

Code

[[div style="float:right; width: 15em; padding: 0 1em; margin: 1em 0 1em 1em; border-left: solid #888888 1px; background-color: #FFFFFF;"]]

[[module Members showSince="no"]]

[[/div]]

¿How to make a css class?

kaizen 1180421874|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Hi, I'm trying to make a css class from this, and my code is:

div.float-right{
    float:right; 
    width: 15em; 
    padding: 0em 1em; 
    margin: 0em 0em 1em 1em; 
    border-left: solid #888888 1px; 
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

To use it:

[[div class="float-right"]] ... [[/div]]

But something weird happends. No box.

P.D.: Sorry if it's a very css basic question, I'm start learning.

Sorry about the example. This works ok. The problem is with a float box on the left:

div.float-left{
    float: left;
    witdth: 15em;
    padding: 0em 1em;
    margin: 0em 1em 0em 1em;
    border-right:solid #888888 1px;
    background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

The border is in the left, and the text extends along the entire line. What is happening?
