Solved: Non-Standard Column Widths

[jleesaxon]

I have three columns (user info block, quick search block, cart block) in my header.

 

To check for problems (an extra margin definition or something like that), I've tried several standard column widths. It works perfectly as:

 

col-sm-2 [16.66667%]

col-sm-5 [41.66667%]

col-sm-5 [41.66667%]

 

col-sm-3 [25%]

col-sm-3 [25%]

col-sm-6 [50%]

 

col-sm-4 [33.33333%]

col-sm-4 [33.33333%]

col-sm-4 [33.33333%]

 

However, when I tried to create my own custom column width:

 

col-sm-3 [25%]

col-sm-4a [37.5%]

col-sm-4a [37.5%]

 

It no longer fits. They spill over onto three separate lines. Even when I try 37.4%.

 

What am I missing? Is the below not the only definition I have to add to global.css?

 

.col-sm-4a { width: 37.5% }

Wow, I'm pretty stupid. I did in fact forget to add it to the float list.

[vekia]

so, with float css style command everything is alright?

[jleesaxon]

Yes, that solved it, thank you
