Howdy ya'll . . .

I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I am new to this forum and my limited html & css knowledge is all self-taught so please be gentle with me and my ignorant questions.

I have put together a website and am using a php script from Script Mills called Comments script.

I got the script to work in the sidebar, but I do not like the way the posted comments looks in the sidebar.

I have looked in all the scripts' folders for a style sheet so I can change the way it looks, but I can find anything and now have no clue as to change how the posted comments end up looking on my website.

So, my question is, because I know nothing about PHP, how does one go about changing the way the posted comments looks when it shows up on the website?

In particular, I want to be able to move the output down lower on the page. I need to reduce the line-height of whatever gets posted and I need to have the posted comment utilize more of the width of the sidebar.

If it helps, please feel free to post a comment to see how it shows on the page (I can delete it).

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions/guidence

This is what programming is all about! :)

Well, this really shouldn't be a PHP question. This is (or really should be) a CSS question - as you suspect. Apart from the HTML building blocks, it is only the CSS that can control the styling.

If you look at the rendered page in the browser and use the Object Inspector (Developer tool in Google Chrome and Firefox) - Right mouse on the page element and select "Inspect Element", it will tell you where it is getting the style from.
