Product Listing problem

When a product description is long, my product listing looks like this :

http://www.ersindavidson.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5

(in IE the product listing box moves to left, in Firefox product description is shifted)

This is how it should look:
http://www.ersindavidson.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2

Product description is displayed with "listingDescription" class. It is by default undefined with Zencart, so I defined it as follows:

.listingDescription {
text-align: center;

}

Note that if I don't define this, in Firefox the box shifts to right.

How can I fix this?

Re: Product Listing problem

For the item in the Product Listings, some have descriptions "without any space" and like a "long word", which longer than the width provided, can't line break and caused it shift to the right.

Suggest give spaces where they normally should have. :smile:

Re: Product Listing problem

Hello and sorry for my english !!

I got a problem on showing the product listing description: I need that it show up 3 or 4 lines but even if I write a lot of words it appears like this:

http://marcap.info/lozza/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_67

See for i.e. the one called Chianti Classico that at one point it shows ....... instead of the text, so I need more lines, at least one maybe two more.

If you want look at the all site and give some feedback I will appreciate that but I just started to do it and for now just trying different things.

Thank

Try this

Fattoria Valtellino<br>
Grapes:Sangiovese<br>

i.e add br html code where you wish new line to start

Re: Product Listing problem

Thank for the reply, it works. I was using <br />
But now the other problem: I need to describe the product and I need at least two lines but as you can see it goes like this:

Chianti Classico Riserva 1998
Fattoria Valtellino
Grapes:Sangiovese/Canaiolo
Di forte impatto olfattivo e gustativo si adatta alle...

Instead of showing the words it shows the ........ (points)
and it is very strange 'cause the TD is set to a width of 450px

It looks like it cuts the fourth line

Thank You

Re: Product Listing problem

Hi, really don't know if this one is the right place to post this:

Please have a look at my site to better understand what I would like to do (if it is possible):

http://marcap.info/lozza/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_67&zenid=f291af0006507e07a2a7d0cd9f79d70a

I would like when I mouseOver the image of the bottle of wine to have a tooltip that opens up with the description of the wine (the one that at the moment is written in bold, it will be longer at the end).
I will need this for every image.

Thanks
