padding of section links layout

[paulbeckett]

Hi

I'm probably missing something obvious here!

I used the Getting Started with Design in Actinic Guide - Section Line Templates to layout section links in columns of three (page 25).

I am trying to make the three images (columns) a little closer together accross the horizontal line.

Within Act_SectionLine - changing:

<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="0" CELLPADDING="5">

makes the rows of images a little closer on the vertical. But I cant figure out how to tighten up the columns across the horizontal?

Any suggestions would be appreciated?

Hi Paul

To tighten the columns up, try going into "Design | Text", click on the "Go to" button here, type in the following:

Phase -1
ID: 1187

You should see the following

<TABLE width="100%"><TR>

Try taking out the width so it like:

<TABLE><TR>

Tightening up page layout

Further to suggestions from jont and davet (thanks), and Nadeem's advice below I have begun to tighten up the width of my pages to avoid horizontal scrolling. Note - instead of removing the width % I set the pixels. Thanks for the advice Nadeem.

I have a related problems that I would appreciate advice on:

I have reduced the size of the section links table (as per above) and set the contents of right hand table in my Act_Primary to allign to the left (e.g. as close as possible to the section links table) but on a small screen I still have horz scrolling due to a gap between the section links table which and the right hand table (containing info boxes). See example where there is quite a gap between the white bow tie image and the TAX FREE notice.

Can anyone recommend how to reduce the size of this gap?

Many thanks

Paul

Hi

Just thought I would add a bit more information. I am pretty sure that the gap is not standard html from one of the templates - it must be driven from something else (Text Options)???

Hi Paul

The spacing is caused by Act_Primary.html, you set the main bulk table which contains the products and sections as 100%, but the search bar is, it has a width of 160 pixel. The product/section display has a pixel width of 670, but the right hand side has nothing. Maybe this is what causing the problem. Try putting a fixed width here, or try using percentage?

I find it easier turning on border within the main table of Act_Primary.html, this gives a better view of what’s going on

Please explain what you mean by this? Sorry to be dumb, but we've all got to start somewhere!

Set the border="0" to border="1" temporarily to show where the table layouts are
