Well, thats not right
One thought is to move some of the style elements to the main news div, right now they are on the UL and use margins to shift things around. So for testing, in index_light.css change the news section to this and see how that works for you.
/* News section. */
#news {
font-size: 0.929em;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
background: #fff;
box-shadow: 1px 2px 3px #eee;
margin-bottom: 1em;
padding: 8px 12px;
overflow: auto;
resize: vertical;
}
#news>h2 {
float: left;
color: #4b863c;
font-size: 1.286em;
line-height: 1.286em;
font-weight: 700;
font-variant: small-caps;
margin: -1px 0 0;
display: inline-block;
}
#news>h2:after {
content: "\2026";
}
#news_line, #elkFadeScroller {
/* Longhand style due to JS bug in IE! */
color: #666666;
height: 60px;
min-height: 60px;
text-indent: 1em;
display: inline;
}
