page width to big!.

[Benn]

I have a problem when adding products the my pages, this doesnt happen on all the pages just some. Once i have added text to it i choose " Text to the right of the image" problem is i have to scroll to the right to view the text, how do i sort this? i played around in the templates but not seem to make a difference.

Hi.

http://www.links-to-scotland.com/aca...rousers_5.html

the other pages seem fine, but this page i have to scroll side to side, it would great if i can get the text closer to the side of the pictures on all the pages, its also effected the position of the company header/title.

Thanks
Benn

It could be because you're mixing layouts on the page. Try setting them all the same and see what happens.

There are some major errors in your Product (and possibly Act_ProductBody.html) templates. Looking at I see

Where you're trying to fit 3 columns into a 1 column 100px wide table.

To be honost i dont have a clue what im doing when it comes to the html templates.. i just tried to enter different numbers etc and played around with template manager see what changes they make.

Silly, perhaps.

what should the templates read then.?.

Hi Benn

Norman is talking about the following bit of code:

<TABLE WIDTH="100" COLS="1" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="1" CELLSPACING="0">
 <TR>
  <TD WIDTH=150></TD>
  <TD WIDTH=50></TD>
  <TD WIDTH=150></TD>
 </TR>

Here the main table is set to 100 pixels, yet the column are set to 150,50,150. You may want to change the main table width to a great value, or simply put in a % sign next to the 100, so the table expands. Maybe that whats missing

Kind Regards

[Benn]

Ah thank you, ill give that a try.. im going to set the Table width to 200 and ill give that a go.

Thanks for you help,
ill let you know how i get on.


regards
Benn

Ermmm, 150 + 50 + 150 = 350

200 will not be enough to hold all that, will it?

[Benn]

good point
