how to stop your pages gadget stretching all the way across your blogspot site

The fact that this happens is one of the reasons why I have not been using this gadget since it breaks up your page in a really nasty way. Here is how to fix it:

Go to Design > HTML editor. Find the line which says
/* Headings ----------------------------------------------- */

Then, paste the following code directly above it:
/*--Pages Gadget No-Stretch Starts--*/
.tabs-outer {
background: transparent !important;
}
.cap-top, .cap-bottom{
border: none !important;
}
.tabs-inner .widget li a{
border: none !important;
border-right: 1px solid $(tabs.border.color) !important;
}
#crosscol{
background: $(tabs.background.color) $(tabs.background.gradient);
border: 1px solid $(tabs.border.color) !important;
}
/*--Pages Gadget No-Stretch Ends--*/
