Re: im getting this weird yellow background for descriptions

Do you have the Web Developer tools installed in your browser? If not, go get 'em. ;-)

If so, select Web Developer/CSS/Disable Styles/Individual Style Sheet/additional_images.css stylesheet. When you do that, you'll see that suddenly the yellow background goes away and the text flows to the full width of the center column.

So I'd have to conclude that you have a style definition in that stylesheet that is causing the problem. Other parts of the Web Dev tools will help you find the errant style definition and fix it.

NO it wont fix it..it will show divs for area you want to alter..
then look in template stylesheet for corresponding div..

Each area of zencart is controlled via stylesheet, and broken
up into divs or formerly, tables..
Web Developers tool kit shows those divs so you can easily alter relevant part of stylesheet.

Re: im getting this weird yellow background for descriptions

As I said in my first reply above, the stylesheet which contains the problem code is additional_images.css. But you must have fixed it, as I'm not seeing that yellow background anymore.
