    Default Re: Someone please help!!

    We don't mind you asking for help, but it appears in your "panic" to fix this problem you have not taken the time to understand what it is we are trying to explain, or in our attempt to explain we overshot the mark by either being vague or just a bit to technical. We here are all willing, well with a few notable exceptions, to stick it out and find that place of common understanding. Whether that be us finding the right terminology that you understand or sending you to other sites/threads to bring you up to speed with the basics, so that we may better work in our comfort zone(s) better. Reposting the same question will turn off some as it means to us that you ignored us or didn't try. Better to ask clarifying questions, we like nothing better than to show how smart we are
    With that said lets move on to the problem at hand.
    Could you give me a list of the sideboxes you want to use and what order you want to use them in from top to bottom. Remember to pay attention to those boxes that are not there until there is content in them (I.E. shopping cart sidebox) and those boxes which will disappear if there is no content, like the new products sidebox, which will go away if you haven't added new products in a while and they expire. With this info I should be able to mock up the layout and css that you need. Have I been long winded or what

    Default Sidebox complete

    Well,

    I understand what u are saying and thanks for your patience with me. I ended up just putting in one large image . Now I just have to get the text to move down slightly. There are tables inserted on my front page but I'm not sure what folder to go in and edit and add pics and text. Take a look and tell me what you think of the sidebox! http://www.veryprrettythings.com

    Thanks

    If you refresh your page you will see that the "New in the Closet" image rotates through the selectedd items and some of these are taller images than others. And also in the "Fashion Advice" area, when there is some content to display this area will also expand.

    This is the reason that a static "single" image for this area is not the ideal solution.
    You were, initially, attempting to do this almost correctly but with images that were not designed to be parts of a single box and rather were complete boxes in themselves. what you actually need to do is take the current single image and cut it into 3 parts top, middle and bottom.

    Display the top & bottom only once(no repeat) and attached to the correct boxes. The the middle resized vertically and repeat it as repeat-y or vertically only. In this way it will grow and shrink as required.
