argghh. product layout help, please?

[TraceyHand]

OK, I confess, I was fiddling and I messed something up..
now I think I've reverted something (an upgraded template/layout) back to factory and I can't get it to look the way it did before

As you can see from HERE for example, my complete product listings are centralised...which is fine.. but I'd like to make the field they occupy wider (they used to be!)

The image place is set to 210pixels which is frationally wider than all images..but I can't find where to change/add something to make the product description field wider too.

I only really use 2 main product layouts (which are essentially the same except one has a "new" image against it) and I've copied one here

<!-- ProductLine HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the top of the individual product -->

(sorry if it looks bad to some more experienced people...that's exactly how it's been upgraded from V7)

I have trial and errored (as you do LOL) but can't work out how to widen the area occupied by the main product description.

could some kindly person help out, please?

Many thanks

ETS... I know it's possible that it's the section layout that needs editting? Not the product layout itself.. but I still don't know what to add and where

Tracey,

Is this the same snapshot that is with Chris ? If so I am taking a look at that one for you now and will look into this too.

From the source code on the link you provided it looks like you have your section width set to 80%, this can be changed in 'Settings | Site Options | Layouts | Section | Width of section list'. Also worth checking what you have set for 'Settings | Site Options | General | Site | 'Width for Main Area''.

Regards,

[TraceyHand]

ah, thanks Bruce. I actually found that yesterday. It was the product layout width I wanted to change and I did find it eventually in this menu and fiddled with it a few times until I was happy with the look.
Cheers

I have so many snapshots with support right now that I'm lost myself! LOL
