Re: Space on right side of main section

Without seeing the site and looking at the underlying code it could be several things. The URL?

Oh, sorry!

http://www.wittymom.com/Logo's the same but no sign of the pink tabs or the gap that you don't like. Have you already resolved the problem?

I'm going to blame pregnancy for my "stupid" - I'm working in a test directory:

Re: Space on right side of main section

Also the site is in desperate trouble when viewing in Firefox. All the content below the tabs disappears off the right hand side of the page. You desparately need to add the following to your stylesheet, then we'll be able to see better what else is going on.> #contentMainWrapper {clear:both}(It's going to be a nice looking site though :yes:)

Re: Space on right side of main section

Okay, I got the page to validate. Thanks for pointing that out - I'd have never thought of it.

I don't understand what you're saying about the broken <table> - I haven't changed the tpl_main_page file. Forgive me if that one went right over my head.

Eek!! Thank you, I hadn't yet looked at it through FF. Much better now...though still the white space. I doubt anyone will really notice but it will drive me crazy. :)

Re: Space on right side of main section

The white space seems to be because of the padding on the #navCatTabs ul. FF doesn't seem to care whether it's there or not, but IE is adding it to the width of the ul and pushing the width of the whole site wider. If you set the padding to 0, I suspect that your problem may simply disappear.

Re: Space on right side of main section

Really great looking site. I love the '60's retro' look. w00t!

Checked in FF, Opera and Konqueror and it looks fine. Sorry - I don't do Internet Exploder.

Re: Space on right side of main section

Thanks! I would have never figured that out by myself. There's still a small space on the right of the tabs but I think that's normal (right?) due to the length of each individual category name.

Thank you again!

CSS is still not consistent across multiple browsers. You always need to have a look at your work in as many as possible. :cry:

It looks like that is the case. Did you try mucking about with category name lengths to try and balance it off a little?
