ol {list-style-type:decimal;}
li {display:list-item;}

dt {font-weight:bold;}
dd {margin-left:30px;}

/* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Universal styles (display, float, margin, text-align...)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- */

.box {min-height:1px;}
.box:after {display:block; visibility:hidden; clear:both; line-height:0; font-size:0; content:".";}

.relative {position:relative;}

.clear {clear:both;}

.f-left {float:left !important;} img.f-left {float:left; margin-right:10px;}
.f-right {float:right !important;} img.f-right {float:right; margin-left:10px;}

.t-left {text-align:left !important;}

#perex {padding:15px;}

.col50 {float:left; width:320px;} 

 

 

And this is my search engine CSS that is coliding with my main page layout,

 

Search engine CSS :

 

<style type="text/css">
#users { width: 500px; height:100%: margin:0 auto; background: white; }
#content { 
position:absolute;
center:opx;
top:0px;
z-index:-1 
}
</style>

 

Please keep in mind i am fairly new to this so be gentle : )
