custom template too wide, need help with HTML

I'm using Firefox and your listing looks perfect. There's no scrolling for me

Just tried looking at it thru IE as well...it looks fine there too.

It must just be my small screen on the Laptop...thanks for that.

Hi,

The top banner/image "aussie babes" is 950 pixels wide. That is causing the template with its borders and the Store Category box (left rail) to push the page wide at even 1152 x 864 monitor setting and is resulting in a bottom scrollbar. You might for a test try setting that image to 800 - 850 pixels range for some preview tests to see how narrow it can go and still have a good look to the design.

Hi Danno
I will try that, thanks

Hi Danno
I managed to resize the photo on Auctiva, but then i don't know where to add the code. It's been a bit hit and miss and so far all i've gotten is the X in a box, so obviously adding it to the wrong spot. A little help would be great, as I said zero HTML knowledge but willing to learn.
I have tried replacing

http://i681.photobucket.com/al...liere/abheader-1.jpg"
with the resized picture URL from Auctiva.
Please tell me where I'm getting it wrong?
Kind regards

Hi,

You can actually use HTML to resize the picture without having to create resized versions for test.

Locate this statement in the code:

<IMG src="http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv176/lavaliere/abheader-1.jpg" width=950 height=204>

Remove the height=204 and change width=950 to width=850 to test the picture at that width, so the statement becomes this...

<IMG src="http://i681.photobucket.com/albums/vv176/lavaliere/abheader-1.jpg" width=850>

Removing height and adjusting width will cause a resize without stretching/changing aspect ratio of the picture.

If 850 isn't small enough, try smaller. The scrollbar at bottom should give you clues if you're getting close. Set your monitor to 1024 x 768 resolution, so you'll know if your getting the scrollbar at that minimum setting for final checks on revised listing.

Hi Danno
It's worked Yippee, thank you SO much for your help.
I'll know to come and ask next time instead of trying to work it out myself, it's a lot quicker that way...
thanks again and seeya

You're welcome and have a good one.
