 * Hey guys.
 * I am trying to cook up a theme based on Blix, but I am having problems with the
   CSS. there are a couple of <hr class=”low”> in the index.php file. These are 
   set to display:none in the CSS. but because of this (i think) i am getting a 
   margin on the main content div. If i remove the display:none on the <hr>, the‘
   margin dissapears’ and the content div floats left as intended. havent got a 
   clue whats going on here. I havent changed the layout to much except some basic
   padding here and there.
 * Any pointers appreciated.
 * Thanks
    Kumar

   are provided.

 * as you can see the grey content area is centered somehow, although i have flated
   it to the left. the <hr> are set to display:none;

 * well, i have now removed the <hr>s in the template files. but problem still persists.
   the funny thing is if i remove the float:left it will stay at the left. but with
   that declaration enabled, it gives me a margin like the link above shows. it 
   does work as intended in IE7 but not firefox. seems to be a css problem, i can
   post the code if needed.

 * sorted! looks like it had somethign to do with the line-height in the previous
   div (navigation at the top)…a reduction of the height of this div led to the 
   problem.
    not sure exactly what happened, but its working anyway.
