There’s a number of things you’ll probably want to change, but for this at least add the following to your wp-layout.css:
.post {
margin: 0 170px 0 20px;
}
Play with the values to get it as you’d like. The second one (170px) affects the right-hand margin to your post div.
I had the same trouble – although the problem only appeared in IE, not in firefox, opera or netscape. (In IE, it’s weird; the text box looks fine initially, but instantly becomes much wider the moment someone begins typing in it. In all other browsers I tried the text box was stable.)
The proposed solution didn’t work for me. What did work was finding where it said
#commentform textarea {
width: 100%;
in wp-layout.css and playing around with changing it to lower figures than 100%. (68% worked well for me).
I’d like a better solution, since the text field is now narrower than I’d like it to be. If anyone would like to check the error, use IE and visit my blog. Thanks.
I found changing it to 95% worked just as well.
No it doesn’t. It still does not work. How annoying!
