Section name too long

[Tsombo]

I have tried increasing the size of my left nav table (primary.html) in order to fit my top level sections (Olive beauty products etc..) on one line in my left nav but to no avail. No matter how large I make the left nav column the section name still appears on 2 lines. Any suggestions?

If you make the column big enough it will eventually be large enough to accept the text. Don't forget there are many nested tables in that layout that may also require editing. Looking at the table structure you have a 3 column table to take the arrow and a space and then the link - are you sure you are editing this inner table and also the main coloured cell column?

You could try looking at using white-space: nowrap; in the CSS but I think it is soemthing more fundmentally simple than that (the nested tables)

width="313" is where you need to look perhaps.

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately i can't seem to find width=313 anywhere in my primary.html

The nav has been built using a table for each of the nav links so even if you increase the width of the col it will not increase the width of the table containing the text. You need to find each of the tables in turn and alter the width to one that fits.

They are all there - you will need to alter act_primary and act_brochureprimary

You have a 155px width table inside a 170px cell

Malcolm - are you talking about the main horizontal navigation or the left hand section navigation?

[RuralWeb]

the tables are all locking each other the main body will need to be decreased, the left col increased and the nav tables increased.

[jont]

Yep - I would be inclined to re-build the tables again from scratch to ensure they are all working as expected and then drop in the Actinic code.

re-build the tables again

If you do it consider changing them to 100% which will give you more space to display your products and allow the site to fill the viewers screen. Yours is currently 800 pix wide which is now out dated.

Or go the whole-hog and build in CSS if feeling brave

build in CSS

I must move with the times!!!!

[jont]

Yeah but I think you savour your sanity too much Malcolm

Spent 2 hours on Sunday trying to sort a CSS outer design in v8 which was being killed in IE ... only to eventually track it down to the best sellers list table width after removing the Actinic code to determine whose "fault" it was. Ultimately my fault for assuming "clean css theme" would not involve any tables!

assuming "clean css theme" would not involve any tables!

Its not easy to kill off us has beens

I am getting the word "persistent" .. although it could be "stubborn"
