Also, unless I am missing something, doesn't the measurement and description table have to be moved from the actual template to the description box on the one page lister form, so that I can enter the new information for each listing?
Hi Deb,
Do you happen to know the color code numbers for the rose-pink and green you're using?
Here's why I'm asking.
http://practicewriter.com/vu/?52C28
I been trying to nail the shade of green, but don't think I got it exactly.
Run your mouse over the thumb fields for the backlight effect for other color.
It's still a work in progress. Got alot done over coffee in the AM.

YEA, your here!! You must really love this stuff, you do puter work all day and them come home to your "hobby" of helping us newbies!
My green is hex# ccffcc
I don't think I am using the rose pink on the new template, (am I?) but went to the gray shades to better match the new flash banner.

Hi Neil,
Yes, the logo colors are more vibrant than the measurement table colors, but Danno,for the thumbs, etc, I prefer the softer colors.

Danno,
You make me crazy!! How could you put that much template together in such a short amt of time?
I've been on since at least 1:30 EST today, and only managed to copy and paste code and it still isn't all lined up!!

Hi,
That green doesn't seem to match the green in the logo?
Would turning the surround on the thumb to white-white work or I can turn off the effect? Usually, best to see with a thumb over the top. That helps.

Hi,
The "SophieBox" concept is something I thought-up months ago. This is codesets I have that I just pull together (some assembly required
). This set doesn't include the Live Inventory module. You wandered into the exact thing I've been working on for months.

You are correct, the hex # I gave you for the mouseover effect is much softer than the logo colors...it matches the background color of the measurement table.
May be we should just use soft grays, so that they go with the template banner?
Did you see my ? above on putting the measurement and description table into the description box on the 1 page lister form vs. into the template itself?
I don't know how I will enter each item's measurements and description if the table is in the template, and not in the 1 page lister?
What is this sophie box your are inventing?

Hi,
Those changes are on the practiceboard (same link as prior).
On the tables, etc for Descriptio, Yes, they would probably work best by insertion in the one-page lister. The green field is narrower than the prior. I can expand the template width to compensate. I would suggest some additional changes to that piece to help.

No, don't turn the mouseover effect off, I think it holds the viewer's attention a nanosecond longer!
I love the size of the pics!
On the description/measurement table, the width you have now looks ok to me? I think bigger pics and fewer words is good for my clients!

Hi,
The backlight effect will "visually" show as a 2 pixel border around each thumb. I can turn the border to any color. I was using the rose-pink to compliment the green for your logo / Store colors.
The only problem with the narrow green was the box with the models measurements. It squishes too small to be readable. I assume it could be redone. I would also rework the table to use white and grey background and better space arrangement. The green background then serves to anchor those elements. I can rework the table for demo.
Danno
Edit: I agree with your last comment. I work the exact pixel measurements first, then I build. I did a rough-layout last night before bed.

No, I can't redo the model measurement pic...I had the gal that did the banner make that, and I don't have a resizer, so widen the whole table.
Your suggestions for reworking the measurement sound good to me if you have time!
So would you then save the measurement table code separately so I can copy it to the one page lister? Or how does that work?
Do you still have time yet this evening to finish this?
I am busy trying to get listings done to launch tonight for the big Thanksgiving weekend endings.

BTW, The original measurement table you did for me the other night, works well. I am using it right now to write the listings.
I don't care for that red around the shipping and payment info, and if you could use a verdana font instead of the typewriter look...I know, getting bossy here!

Hi Deb,
Here's a quick rough of how that right-side currently looks.
http://practicewriter.com/vu/?52C63
I think the table takes up too much space without using more columns to display the info. That needs work. Note, the "float" design on the green mat effect. As you can see, the scrinch on the About Model box is a readability problem.

What if you make the enlarged photo a bit less wide, so you have the amt of room you need for the measurement table (& about model pic) to fit properly?
I see that float effect, but I liked it all green or if you think we don't need the green just a soft gray will tie into everything else. I am thinking I don't need the green...I kind of like the monochromatic look and let the pics do the talking...my clients have the attention span of a gnat!

Hi,
Let me see how much scale-up the Model box needs to become readable, and then work with resizing options. I'm designing up to 928px width to accomodate centering in eBay's New Design listing page. I believe your banner can scale-up, as part of any change.
I can appreciate the monochromatic too, as it does lessen any detraction from the article. I am focusing on a "retail look", instead of the traditional frilly templates.
I'm off for awhile, but will try to see what I can do before 9 AM tomorrow. I'm better with coffee challenge design.
