    Default Page width...

    [Note: remember to include site URL, ZC version, list of plugins, PHP version, etc ... read the Posting Tips shown above for information to include in your post here. And, remove this comment before actually posting!]

    Hi,
    I have re built my websites on a computer with a much higher screen resolution and had not realised it was making a difference until I have switched back to an older laptop.

    When I view the website I have a scroll bar along the bottom. So the page is too wide I think?

    However I cant remember which of the many things I have changed, will fix it!

    I looked on inspect element however it doesnt seem to change it.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you
    Amy

    You have a lot of unclosed HTML tags. That can cause the issue you are having:

    Line 217: <div class='slidesjs-container'>
    Line 217: <div class='slidesjs-control'>
    Line 217: <a>
    Line 217: <a>
    Line 217: <a>
    Line 217: <a>
    Line 217: <ul>
    Line 217: <a>
    Line 230: <div id="mainWrapper">
    Line 261: <ul id="navigation" class="nav-main">
    Line 481: <div id="navSuppWrapper">
    Line 488: <div id="flex-navSupp">
    Line 489: <div class="section group">
    Line 490: <div class="section group">
    Line 490: <li>
    Line 491: <div class="section group">

    Looking through the FAQS about changing the page width, the general discussion was to modify the width parameter of #mainWrapper in the stylesheet. That was set to 100%, so not sure what would have been done to modify it unless there was a desire to make it a set value which would cause other displays to have a "scroll bar".

    Best to go flexible/fluid widths (eg width:100%;) for small screens followed by max-width for big screens (max-width:1400px;).

    IIRC These go in your default css file with the largest wrapper tag after the body tag.

    I believe it is the dropdown menu running across your page - beneath the logo - that is causing the page-width overflow, particularly the

    Code:
    #navigation {
       width: 1350px;
    in stylesheet_dropdown-menu.css

    If you adjust, or perhaps, remove that then you won't have the overflow issue but you will still need to work on the widths/padding of the individual categories.
