I just searched the css file and there is nothing regarding the left nav column?!? I can only alter the width of the right column, is that right? I made the right column say 155px in the css (i have it as 150px in admin) but same problem.

Pete

This chunk below is the only chunk that controls sidebox issues. NOW, if you make your sideboxes wider than 150px by any amount of pixels, you need to change ALL of the 165px's by that many larger, and ALL of the 150px's by that many larger, and that should take care of it.

.outer {
	padding-left: 165px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
	padding-right: 150px; /* Our right column width */
	}
	
.inner {
	width: 100%;
	}

.float-wrap {
	float: left;
	width: 97%;
	margin-left: -165px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
	}

#content {
	float: right;
	margin-right: -165px; /* Same length as .outer padding-left but with negative value */
	width: 100%;
	line-height:1.6;
	position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
	}

.contentWrap{
	padding: 5px 0 5px 5px;
	}
	
#navColumnOne { 
	float: left;
	position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
	}
	
#navColumnTwo {
	float: right; 
	margin-right: -150px; /* This negative margin-right value is in this example the same as the right column width. */
	position: relative; /* IE needs this  */
	}

Well, made the changes as suggested but still no joy...The strange thing is this, I thought maybe it was the cache on my machine so i cleared all history etc and as soon as I clicked ok on the internet options box the page of my site displayed correctly in ie6 but I clicked refresh and back came the problem. It is fine when viewing a category but not on the home page so it puts customers off.

Driving me nuts!

Did you try smaller category images on the home page? Does the problem go away if you widen the browser window in ie6?

[mediathing]

I have tried smaller cat images, in fact I only added them the other day and problem was there prior to that. I only have ie6 on my laptop but the res is set to 1024. I have tried a website that lets you view the site with different browsers and the same problem...crazy eh, bet it's something really simple.

Try a smaller sidebox image? (the fairy pic?)

[mediathing]

lol, one step ahead, I removed that and same issue. My feeling is that the problem lies with the centerbox in some way, not sure why.

It'll make your site look wacky for 30 seconds or so, but upload my original css stylesheet, with only the 9px sidebox changes, and see if the issue goes away (be sure to save a copy of your current first). Then we'll know if its stylesheet.

Hi
Bit of a newbie question, but where is the text on the very first page that starts with
Congratulations! You have successfully

and then the following image that starts with 'Have you got yours

I think Im having a bad day!

Going to try the original stylesheet in a little while, in the mean time with the nav links along the top, how can I get them to align to the left. I tried the align left in the css but it only shifts them over towards the left a little bit.

I'll let you know about the stylesheet in a little while.

Thanks
Pete

This would have been an easy question to search within the forum or FAQ section, by the way:
