Border too thick when using slideshow in template

edenMember

Sorry to be such a pest but I've just about have this like I want it. My only problem seems to be that in my original template I had a thin gold border around my pics. I used a html code that had separate buttons under the first pic to change to other views. No matter what size the pic it fit within the gold border.

Now I'm trying to use the slideshow feature and my border is too thick with a thicker edge of gold under the navigation button, and as the pics scroll through the thickness of the border varies according to the size of the photo.

Any suggestions as what to do? Here is the link to my code on the practice board:

Because the whole slideshow tag is inside the border, you can not just put the picture in there.

To use the border you have to hand code each picture tag and then you can not use the slide show.

I used a border like this on alot of my templates on the other site but things are different here and you have to make adjustments. Everything can't stay the same

One thing I did was to put the first picture in the bordered background and then have the rest click to enlarge and it still looks nice!

Tom T., If I replace the Store Window HTML with the [Store Window] tag, can I still use the custome colors or will I loose that? Eden

You can customize your store window colors from the Edit Storewindow page (click on the Store tab and then 'Store Window' then 'Edit Store Window')

If you change the colors on that page, then they will be used in all your listings where you put the [STORE_WINDOW] tag.

You can keep your colors if you saved tehm in your settings.

My colors stay and I use the tag

I know wahm922 has basically given you the answer but to further help you in your quest for html knowledge, you did not have a "border" set for those images. You did, however, have an gold image set for the background, so if you place an image over that background and it is smaller than the table you have set it in then the gold image will show around that image giving you the illusion that there is a border around the image. When you have a slideshow running in this table, you would need all images to be the same size in order for the "border" to appear the same throughout. Hope this has been helpful.
