Sub Sections Stretch Template

[Manic]

Hi there,

I have a problem with my template. All is well except that if you have too many subsections it will stretch the template (example: http://www.manicmayhem.co.uk/acatalo...ections_3.html

How can you make the subsections wrap within the cell instead of stretching it?

Hi Matthew,

This is strange. The 'breadcrumb trail' does wrap on a default 'Curves' theme site so I'm not sure why it's not working for you. I've tried to take a look at the source of the page but there are a lot of tables defined so it is quite difficult to see what is going on. You seem to be using a mixture of % widths and fixed widths for your tables so it may be this that is causing the problem.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I have gone through the site template document again and removed most % table widths. I'm pretty sure this isnt the problem as there are now % values for the overall table and the cells in which the netqoute vars lie.

Would the original template with nqvars be easier to analise?

Hi,

Just to see if we can narrow it down a bit can you backup your current Act_Primary.html and Act_ProductBody.html and replace them with the original ones from 'c:\program files\actinic ecommerce v6\formats\themes\BusinessCSS' to see if that stops the tables from stretching.

Still Stretching Im afraid

Thats with the files you mentioned replaced. I'm really quite stuck on this one!

Hi,

OK, I think it would be better for you to raise a support query here for further investigation. You will be given an e-mail address to send your snapshot to so we can look into it for you.

The quick fix would be to put these into a fixed width table. Edit Act_ProductBody.html and replace

NETQUOTEVAR:PARENTSECTIONSTOP

with

<table width=600><tr><td>NETQUOTEVAR:PARENTSECTIONSTOP</td></tr></table>

You also need to do the same with NETQUOTEVAR:PARENTSECTIONSBOTTOM further down this template.

Alternatively you could apply style to the surrounding <DIV...> tag.
