    Default changing width of center column

    Hello,

    this is my site: www.mylittletoy.com/index.php (under construction).
    I am using a template from templatemonster.com.

    I made the center column wider by changing:
    .main_w {width:766px; margin:auto;}
    into
    .main_w {width:866px; margin:auto;}



    However, the column did get wider but the content stayed in the same place, so basically I added some white space to the right (see screenshot).

    Is there anything I can do the widen the content also?

    In a normal Zen Cart template this wouldn't be an issue as the content would expand to fill the space available.

    Template Monster templates tend to be more fragile and less flexible. There's lots of extra markup in this template making it much more difficult to see what needs to be changed. The sceenshot is helpful for understanding what you are trying to achieve, but since you appear to have removed the problem, and the page now looks a bit different, it's difficult for us to identify what might be changed to resolve it.

    Try changing this width in stylesheet_tm.css:

    .cen_pad {padding:0px 19px; width:364px;}

    Wow. Thanks. That did it. Funny thing is, now I remember fixing that width a couple of days ago due to some other issues.

    Thanks again.
