Hello
I've uploaded my custom template into an existing store listing and the tables have been widened so there is no space to see borders. I think my store headers are squishing it. Does that make sense? I'm only just barely beginning to understand html and was wondering if anyone could please look at my template html and tell me what I need to do to fix this. I've included links to practiceboard and to the actual ebay listing.
Thanks Smile
Lilly

Good Morning Neil!
Thanks for the help with the practice board. That looks about right except there is a white box at the bottom of my template that shoudn't be there...is that for the scrolling gallery?

Ok, the borders look good on the practicewriter, but in my store listing as shown on ebay, the gold is squishing out the red layer. Any suggestions on how to fix that?

Also, should I start this thread over with the practicewriter link instead of my copy/pasted html...it's skewed the whole thread out wide.

Lilly Smile
Hi Lilly,

That's curious about the scrolling gallery. In Firefox it shows up in Practice Writer, but in IE it does not. My thinking is it could just be a limitation of Practice Writer, as the code for the gallery hasn't changed.

Have you tried the new code in a store listing? It should be much more rigid and in quick testing the gold hasn't overlapped the red.
