Re: classic template help jazzing it up

Before you go any further, you need to create this as a custom template using the overrrides system, and stop editing the classic. That will save you some serious headaches down the road. See this tutorial:

The best way to learn is to try stuff. But, back it up first.

Re: classic template help jazzing it up

changed the container size in stylesheet to smaller than the slider image and this seems to have done it buy may not be the correct solution

Re: classic template help jazzing it up

The bit of whitespace that follows your slider is caused by the <br class="clearBoth" /> that follows that <div id="container"></div>. You could add the following to your stylesheet:

div#container+br.clearBoth { display: none; }

to cause that offending <br /> statement to "not display" so the whitespace disappears!
