Hi again,

If you're using a stock Auctiva template and their one-page lister, you can select the type of picture layout and placement on the pop-up page for template selection and customization.

If you are creating a new template you can use their tag system to integrate pictures. However, the type of tag is dependent on the need.

If you have an active listing, post the listing number. If you want Forum member assistance, just place the code at www.practicewriter.com and post back the link.

Hi,

Well, I can tell why it had you stumped, as it had me chasing color codes too. Eek

What appears at first to be a background color assigned for that right side table that forms that section of the page is actually a GIF image of the color stored at photobucket. If you locate the GIF for that right side table and remove it and code as background, it removes the color. The GIF is...

Hi,

In fact I did finally see what the problem was with the lower right logo as overlay after careful examination and did this correction. I slightly reduced the photo and did some minor text fixes along with adjusting alignment of the photo. That's was all necessary to meet the fit of the narrower column.

Hope this helps....

BTW....I think this demonstrates how flexible and elegant a very simple HTML only template can perform.

Hi Lisa,

Hows this?

I moved the tag and added a header. I also changed the code so your description section will load as a bold Arial Font with size "2", like the other text sections.

Edit: I reexamined the pictures and balance of the page. I resized the left side pictures to exactly 600px x 450px (4:3 aspect ratio for uncropped digit cam pic) and adjusted upper and lower sections to exactly 928px for the new IFRAME exact fit geometry. If you want to use a different aspect ratio, I'd stick with the 450px width and adjust height appropriately. Also, it's extremely important to use H and W sizes for images in the code to keep the IFRAME from creating Scrollbars during load (and that's a tip for all those having problems). Make sure you resize your pictures to 600px x 450px to reduce load times.

Thanks so much for moving the Tag! Nice thing to get up to! You really are so sweet! Do you ever sleep?

Thanks for adding the descrip title but...I already had one that loads there with a table in every listing so could I get you to remove that? and (Im sorry) but I was going to take the bold out of all that font, so could you stop the descrip from being Bold too in he desription section, and I'll change the bold in the rest? Thank you SO much! The template is simple organized and perfect. So much better than my other one! Thanks sooo much!

Hi,

690x460 is 3:2 aspect ratio, like 4 x6 photo standard cropping size. Are you not using digital cam or do you want the whole page resized for that format as a standard digital crop? If you do, you simply change the image sizes. The HTML for all the pics currently has...

img width="450" height="600"

for 3:4 ratio.

If you want to maintain the width, use....

img width="450" height="675"

for 2:3 ratio.

I do understand that fashion photos from a studio photo setting, similar to your logo, may work better with that aspect ratio. You just need to set that as your "standard" for all photos for listings.

You can set the Auctiva preferences in your Account settings for no Scrolling Gallery to be added to the listing.

Edit: I looked at a resize to 400 width to see if it further helped the right column and got this.

I also locked height on the upper photo and slightly increased the logo photo size and locked it's height and width.

It did help the text wrap problem on the pink banner and page balance. Also, 600px height allows the photos to get full view on a 1024x768 monitor screen (I checked).

Hope those helped....

Oh...and my oldest daughter has done professional studio photography, so I get good tips. Smile
