Catalog Page

[kevin gibson]

Hi I'm new here so this post could be in the wrong forum.

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I've configured my site so the page content sits in a cell no wider than 470px. The only problem I've encountered with this is on the catalog page (the initial "shop" page). Theres a horizontal rule at the bottom of the page that wont sit in the cell and pushes it out, off the edge of the page background.

I've looked through everything in the help file, changed every template page I can think of and still this line break pushes the page out! How do I take out the horizontal rule?

Thanks

As always, posting an URL would help as it's the sort of thing we need to see to fix. The problem may not be the <HR> but somewhere else.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Excuse my ignorance on the subject as well, I'm afraid my knowledge of this stuff barely covers HTML.

I've uploaded the site preview, and this is the problem page http://www.3k1.co.uk/ersatz/P_Shop.html , sorry for the lack of images too, it would have taken longer to upload them and they're not important at the minute.

oh, and the design and layout aren't mine, it's just my job to get it working

It looks like faulty HTML.

<TD vAlign=top colSpan=3>
                                <HR>
                                <A name=a588>
                                <TABLE cellSpacing=5 cellPadding=1 width="100%" 
                                border=0>

seems to be responsible. Better get back to whoever designed the page and check for badly nested tables.

Well I put the page together, what I wanted to know was what template do I change to change the width of that hr? Changing that page won't make any difference because it's generated by the actinic software and will be overwritten.

It's not that simple as just changing or deleting that <HR>. You seem to have badly nested tables and forms. I saw more </form>'s than <forms>.

One thing you can do is turn table borders on ( border=1 ) and look at your generated HTML via something like Dreamweaver to see if that helps show up the problem areas.

Thanks, I found out what the problem was and changed the file, the horizontal rule will now set to whatever size I set the cell to.
