Excess white space on right side- and I do mean EXCESS!

I do hope this issued hasn't been addressed....I promise that I searched and searched, but could only find issues of white space concerning the headers/footers.

here is my site https://www.chezrone.com

as you can see, there is excess white space to the right...i have no clue why. all i did was add the blog logo as a sidebox- the one that says "Have you seen this?"

please help! thanks so much!

-no add-ons
-no upgrades
-my host is Fatcow

again, thanks!

Re: Excess white space on right side- and I do mean EXCESS!

You have the width of #logoWrapper set to 1500px.

Re: Excess white space on right side- and I do mean EXCESS!

Also your logo.bmp file (the balloons?) is 228px high yet #logoWrapper is only 200px high

Re: Excess white space on right side- and I do mean EXCESS!

Thank-you both so much! Fixed that, but now the balloon logo.bmp has moved to the center. Is there anyway to get to the opposite side of the Chez Rone logo?

I appreciate your help!

Re: Excess white space on right side- and I do mean EXCESS!

Is there any reason why you're using two images?

Why not simply combine the two? Especially as chezheader.JPG has no link back to your home page, whereas your balloon logo does.

Re: Excess white space on right side- and I do mean EXCESS!

It's also rarely, if ever, a good idea to use .bmp images on websites. The file size is always much larger than the other choices and will slow your site's page loads down.

Notice that the Hot Summer Nights shoe image is over 12 times as big in file size as the one next to it, despite the fact that the image dimensions are the same.

You were looking atbthe file size of the Hot Summer Nights Shoe? :shocking::shocking::shocking::shocking:

Either there's something very wrong with you or like me you've been right the way through that site today and you're now just pretending to be professional :P:P:P

Re: Excess white space on right side- and I do mean EXCESS!

I'm not sure what else I'd look at. It doesn't come in my size and my ankles don't bend like that, anyway :no: .

C'mon, don't be shy, tell us all what you've been adding to your cart.... :clap:

I can tell you now, be quick, as soon as the missus gets home with the credit card we're stocking up :P:P

Those handcuffs I found were very disappointing. A typical example of using bad images, I had ideas for those this evening until I realise they were just a necklace. Really not so happy about that chezRone I have to say. My evening's entertainment has been scuppered with disappointment.

There's always those ballet heels though, eh Steve? Or you bought them already??? :P:P:P

Re: Excess white space on right side- and I do mean EXCESS!

you guys are hilarious! ill go ahead and try to put the logo as part of the header (if im understanding you correctly) and see how that works.

actually, i think i remember why i did it this way.... i didn't want the clickable logo that comes with zen cart. looked through the forums and found help on getting rid of it but i couldnt get it to work and was scared to re-ask the question :blush:... so i just made a logo image and used it instead....

so, now that thats out--- can anyone tell me how to get rid of that logo option???

sorry...

if not , id be happy with pushing it to the right. and i'll go ahead and swithch my bmps to jpegs.

thanks so much!

Re: Excess white space on right side- and I do mean EXCESS!

You still need to reduce your balloon size to 200 from 226px. They're popping out like Dolly's :D

And yes, I tried to make that sound as dirty as I could on here :P

Now... one of you... marry me.... Steve??? You game???? You've bought most of the kit now already!!!!!
