Controlling the message length box in Checkout

[DaveC]

I have been testing a system based on the Theme 'Smart' with screen widths of 800.
After one or two amendments I have been able to get the shop to fit automatically to either 1024 or 800 width screens.
However, I am having a problem with the length of the error message box in the Checkout stage.

Starting from the position where the Checkout Screen fits horizontally in the browser. If the customer fails to tick the Accept Terms and Condition Checkbox and tries to continue the page is re-presented with an error message. (Sorry, we cannot accept your order etc)

The Checkout page no longer fits horizontally in a 800 width screen
Whilst I can change the length of the message in the Text settings options
the actual box it fits in stays the same.

It looks messy.

As far as I can tell the 'problem' starts in Act_order01 first line
NETQUOTEVAR:ERROR NETQUOTEVAR:REFPAGE

I just need to be able to set a maximum size for the box.
Is there a parameter somewhere or do I have to patch something - if so where?

Hi,

That error message box is controlled from within the software. If you go to Design | Text and click on the 'GoTo' button and in the ID field enter 2178, it will bring up the bit of code that creates the box within which the error message is displayed. make your changes here and all should be well.

Kind regards,

That will do nicely
Many Thanks
Dave
