Default Width of Left Column
We are running the Crystal Template by X-cart with Fancy Categories mod. I am trying to finish up our test site but cannot figure out how to change the width of the left side.

Live site:

http://www.rmspos.net/home.php

Test site:

http://www.pospackage.com/xcart/home.php


I don't remember changing anything, but you can see that the left columns are larger for our live site than our test site. We don't want the categories and other menus so cramed together. Does anyone know where this needs to be edited at? We want the test site to look like the live site for the column width.

Not familiar with that template, but look at customer/home.tpl and see if there is a style called for that left column or there is a spacer.gif in there.

I took the original file (home.tpl) and overwrote the one on our test site and nothing happened. After comparing the two files, nothing shows a change that would affect the width in anyway.

Where else should I look at?

I didn't say overwrite with the original, I said to look at it to see what is determining the width

I know this. That why I stated I compared the two files and saw nothing that would affect the width.

Any other suggestions?

Ok Mike you aren't understanding, so post the home.tpl file here.

What I am saying is, if the home.tpl file is determining the width, wouldn't I notice something different in the home.tpl of our live site? There is zero difference between the two so this template file doesn't seem to be affect the left column at all. Correct me if I am wrong, which does happen frequently, but I can't seem to find the solution here.
