Template left column overlapping fields

I have tried altering the width of my joomla template, the width of the lefthand column (my site doesn't use a lefthand column). Tried using percentages and all to no avail.

When the expense page shows it computes its own width for the lefthand column and then the 'All Accounts' fields and the 'Summary income and expenses' fields all overlap the right margin by a fair percentage.

I suppose i'm going to have to pore through the programs CSS to try and find the problem but, for the amount of money being charged for this component i'm wondering if its going to be a 'pain in the butt' as this is only the first day of trying to use it. :S

    I found the css file /components/com_finances/assets/styles.css

    span.amount{
    color:#FFF;
    border-radius: 2px 2px 2px 2px;
    font: 9px verdana,arial,sans-serif;
    padding: 2px 5px;
    display: inline-block;
    float: left;
    width: 80px;
    }

    This corrects the problem in the left column for the financial summary ONLY and also changes the column in the main page which is totally mad, because you cannot make any mods to the left column without messing with the code for the main page.

    it's not going to be a pain in the butt!! trust me. I can see you have some initial doubts and questions.

    please, post a link to your site so I can tell what CSS adjustments to make. how wide is your template main area?

    I posted this temporary site but, it may not be the final site I put it on. It depends on if I want to use it just for myself or with clients.

    Therefore, I think a bit more CSS work would be useful to give column options without effecting the main page. It should also be possible for the templates settings to be default.

    all this CSS issues are realated to one SELECT box that is too wide.

    all you need is to add this:

    #project_id{
    width=122px;
    }

    in the CSS file. that should solve it!

    sorry I made a typo. it's:

    #project_id{
    width:122px;
    }

    (it's a colon ":" not a "=")
