    Here’s the site: http://stuckpixelstudio.com/clients/pay … clips.html

    On the last item, the text is going outside the box that is containing it. I have that text in a span so does that have anything to do with it?

    HTML:

    Code:

    PPC-202

    PPC-212

    Remove "position: relative" from both your img.product and .description classes. Then style your b and span tags with margin or padding to provide spacing between the borders and the text.

    You might consider taking a step back and redesign your text area to be more semantic. Instead of:

    Code:




    PPC-208

    Double clip. Mounts two inline filters piggyback style. Cylinder sizes are both 1.950″.

    Use:

    Code:

    PPC-208

    Double clip. Mounts two inline filters piggyback style. Cylinder sizes are both 1.950″.

    Since all your images seem to be the same width (150px), start styling those elements with:

    Code:
    .productbox h5 {
    margin-left: 180px;
    }
    .productbox p {
    margin-left: 180px;
    }

    You might also consider using the * { margin: 0px; padding:0; } strategy to reduce confusion when aligning things.
