    Default consistent size for content areas...

    I can't seem to find an answer for this...

    On my main page and also on Product Info pages how do I set the width content area so that it will remain consistent throughout the site. Lets say, if I wanted it to be even with the gray bar at the top of my page?

    For example, On one product with a short description, the table is less wide, and the space between my review, tell a friend, and add to cart buttons is small.

    on another Product Info page there is a larger description therefore the table is wider and my buttons get spaced far apart.

    I would like it to be the same width no matter what. I would also prefer that the buttons be evenly spaced.

    I attached a couple pictures so hopefully it will help.

    I'm using zencart version 1.3.0.2 and the nightfall template
    I also installed the column layout grid, image handler 2, and the login box thing and....I think that's it. I don't know if that's what you were looking for.

    I went to your site and you're messing with it. Can you undo whatever you did (so that it replicates the error you mentioned in your first post), and I can get a fix for you?

    I think what's happening has to do with the text in your descriptions. Try putting in some fake text into the jean product and see if that doesn't straighten it out.

    If that's the case, you can either put in more complete text or write some sort of css hack.

    well, others were telling me it's because there are tables in there and aren't supposed to be. so i got bored and went through the php file and just deleted any code referencing tables. it seem to work ok, except i can't for the life of me get the model # and attributes to move up under the description.

    i removed all the <br class="clear both"> that i thought would affect it, and no luck!

    the name, price, and description, all are where i want it, but the model# and attributes (if there is one for that product) stay under the main picture. OR the "choose one" text for the attributes will be under the description, but the actual box wont.

    HELP

    i've been messing with this thing for hours!

    It's probably in the css...

    For example, the model box is using this css tag:

    <ul id="productDetailsList" class="floatingBox back">

    If you look in your css, there is this code:

    .back {
    float:left
    }

    That is what is telling the model number box to be like that.

    Now, you don't want to remove that from your stylesheet, because a lot of other things use that style. So I would just remove 'back' from here: <ul id="productDetailsList" class="floatingBox back"> in tpl_products_info_display.php. Or you can give that box its own class, like "modelNumberBox", so that you can add more styles to if you like.
