style sheet questions

[clydejones]

I have to scroll horizontially to see the entire site. In all browsers

Setting your #mainwrapper 100% will correct this (for all browsers) as will making any other "width" statements 100%.

a width of 1250px just seems excessive.

thanx clyde... changed it back to 100% didnt work but then i saw in another post... may have been you.... to change the stylesheetbackup i had to stylesheet.bak... of all people i should have known to do that... but then again... the simplest things often are the most difficult to find... thanx clyde.....

You got everything but #mainWrapper

[g0d4lm1ty]

heh... good eye... since the page didnt change i "assumed" i got everything.. thanx again clyde

Your sideboxes are wider than the side columns

The columns are 150px

The sideboxes are 175px

adjust those and I think everything should fit.

Hi,

You say you use IE7. You should immediately download a copy of a more standards-compliant browser -- I recommend Firefox. As a site developer you should have as many browsers as possible on your system for reviewing your site, including older versions of some of them. You might be amazed at what your site looks like in other browsers! For example, in Firefox on my Mac, below the scantily clad ladies, I see a thin, purple bordered, horizontal box that is wider than the window and a large black area below that with no content except the sideboxes. Is that what you see?

thanx rob for the advice.. clyde also mentioned the same thing.. i also use netscape to double check the site.. never thought of firefox.. is there a particular version that you guys suggest.... i've made websites for years and never thought of firefox.... the other sites have come out great.... at least I hope appreciate the input.. the new cart is coming along great and i am getting fantastic ideas for the older carts I've made.....

I ditto the browser suggestions....NEVER develop with IE...always develop with the most standard compliant browser for your platform and then tweak for the IE bugs
