    Default help: web content wraps when reducing window size

    I would like to know how can I prevent the webpage content from wrapping when I reduce the window size.

    Please visit my website www.manyperfumes.com/zen-cart and try reducing your window size.. you will see how the whole content shrinks to fit the new window size making it a mess.

    I don't know what code to use and where to put it to prevent this formatting issue.

    Please advise. thanks!!

    Couldn't see this happening in Firefox or IE 7, 6 and 5.5. Have you fixed it already?

    no.. I have not fixed it. I use firefox too on my mac and when I reduce the window size the whole content wraps or better said, condenses and loses its format.

    what could be the problem?

    Doesn't do it for me, either, in IE7 or FF2 or Safari (Windows). In all browsers, the format stays the same, and the vertical and horizontal scroll bars appear.

    Default Re: help: web content wraps when reducing window size

    I just checked it on SAFARI too and everthing collapses when I reduce the window. I looked at another website for comparison purposes (http://www.probeautywarehouse.com/Se...ts.asp?Cat=142)
    and it does not do it, but mine does collapse all the content when reducing the window size.

    Also, I noticed that in SAFARI the font of the sideboxes appears bigger and with a different color. How can I control that the website keeps the same formatting in all browsers?

    Please advise. thanks!

    Default Re: help: web content wraps when reducing window size

    Hi, that happened to my site when i was building mine too.
    What i did is change the width from % to px.

    Eg: Instead of having size 300% change it to something like 700px.

    Hope that helps

    thanks so much to everyone. I set it at 1000px an it worked.

    I had given the incorrect URL at the beggining so that's why everyone was going to a website that does look fine. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for everyone's help!
