how to adjust center column width?

[gjh42]

You don't actually want #navColumnOneWrapper to be 378px wide; I just noticed that that rule was written wrong.
The fundamental problem is that the center column is set in the template code to be 378px wide when there is no real reason to give it any specific width. View source shows this

<td width="3">
<img width="3" height="1" alt="" src="includes/templates/rchelicop/images/spacer.gif"/>
</td>
<td width="378" valign="top">
<div id="indexDefault" class="rbg1">

If you change the "378" to "666" you will get a decent width for the center. This may be set in /includes/templates/your_template/common/tpl_main_page.php, or TM may have worked up something else.

I am not sure whether TM makes their templates hard for others to modify just from stupidity, or if they planned it so that customers would have to come back to them for modifications.

Change the width described above until you like the result.

Thanks for your support so far, i would like to ask one more question:

how can i adjust the product description layout, as you can see, all buttoms and description stacked on left

It looks like a standard TM product listing layout to me (in Firefox). What browser are you using? And how do you want the display to look?
TM has customized that too, and I don't know how hard it will be to change.

I am using Maxthon for daily website suffering, the website shows normal when i use IE8, but it become another problem:

please see my another website:

www.lycorcatsuit.us

it works wild when i use IE8 browsing it...

[gjh42]

I've never heard of Maxthon, and don't know what quirks it might have with HTML/CSS rendering. I don't have IE8 so can't comment on that - hopefully someone else can.
You do have a problem in Firefox with the center crowding and overlapping with sideboxes, so you must have some styling or template errors.

Thank you for your help so long, could you give me one more little help?

Idont konw why my template can't show any thumbnail pictures, which shows normal in other template, do you know how can i solve this.

[gjh42]

I see thumbnails in your product listing pages... don't know where else you were expecting them. Your site does take forever to load, at least partly due to the fact that the thumbnails are just the full size images displayed small, and average 100k in filesize (about 30 times the size they should be). Read the tutorial on images for info on creating proper-sized thumbnail images.
