Dreamweaver Layout not working

[chebs22]

Hi

i have a template in dreamweaver.
I registered it with actinic and everthing was fine...the i wanted to increase the width of the site and it increases in dreamweaver but when i go back to actinic only the INNERLAYOUT has increased in width the rest of the website is the same...i have checked my entire style sheet like i said it is perfect in dreamweaver but no change in actinic anybody got suggestions?

[chebs22]

has anyone got a solution for me? or do i have to redo my site but this time make it the correct size...maybe it's just something simple.i have over 200 pages don't want to redo it all just because i can't get the width to increase.

you might want to check your variables for widths etc these are normally in actinicstylesheet. css or site variables ACTSTDWIDTh comes to mind.

You have

#wrapper {
width: 1024px;

and the table cell set at 100% ... declare a specific fixed value

the actual site is only about 800px wide so the table is filling the gap left

Debugging in far simpler using Firefox http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ with either :

web developer https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60

and / or

firebug https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1843

available as free plug-ins to help spot what code is doing what.

If you do not know how to mend it...do not break it

Look into your layouts LUKE and use the force.....

[pinbrook]

if you use the tools that Jont has given links for (we all use these tools, as they help to identify design problems) you will find it much much easier to debug css code - its kind of like a point and click debug process then.

I would also tidy up the code and consider moving the non actinic js scripts into external calls - it will make the code much easier to read

Check in the 'Settings | Site options' area for the 100%
