    Default Main page layout problem!!!

    I have 2 problems:

    1- on my home page on the right the manufacturers drop down list is longer than what it should be. Please look. I am new and learning so I can help others too so please be patient and descriptive. Thank you! http://flamedepot.com/

    2- When I install a banner it goes to every page instead of just the home page a wished!! It should be in the center of the home page under the breadcrumbs line but it goes to everypage instead! and then it makes everypage out of line. Help!

    This is because shortly after line 1200 in your stylesheet you define the manufacturers sidebox to have a width of 480px, and the input field is defined to be 90% of the width of the sidebox.

    You say that it should only appear on the home page. What steps did you take to restrict it to the home page only?

    First,

    I don't know how to change the set reference to 480px. Please advise.

    second,

    I didn't set restrictions for the banner to be only on my home page. Can you please tell me how to do that?

    I really appreciate the help I get from this forum, it has helped and I am learning alot.

    Thank you!

    At the end of the stylesheet (at around line 1200) you have this corrupted entry
    .right_box_content_manufacturers {

    padding:6px; height: 242px;

    margin: 0px;

    <pre class="alt2 dirltr styleborder 1px inset"; overflow:auto; width:480px; text-align:left; >; margin-left:5px; margin-right:5px; margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:10px

    }
    some of which web browsers are able to interpret. This includes the style highlighted in red. This is causing your side box to be much wider than the space available to it, and the select field is then set to be 90% of that overblown width.
