Alignment is OK in my frame, but not as new window?

I've created my store, and when I view it on my website in the 'inline frame' the allignment is great. But, if a user were to open the store up in a new window everything is 'unwrapped' if that makes sense?

Here's my link: You must click to enter the store.

Thank you, and I apologize beforehand if this has been answered a gazillion times already.

Re: Alignment is OK in my frame, but not as new window?

Bigger problem - Have you tested any payment methods? Most methods that have to communicate with your site will not work with the Zen Cart shop in a frame. You have a very simple clean look and would be much better off styling your shop to match the rest of your site.

Re: Alignment is OK in my frame, but not as new window?

Thank you Kim for your reply...
I have tested the payment options. I'm only offering COD or Paypal, and they've both worked for me (so far?).

I tried to make the store look as much like my 'home' page as possible but didn't get too far. I felt by having it stay in the frame as the rest of the pages do the clients will feel like they are still in the same zone when shopping.

This allignment thing all came about when I changed the resolution of my 'logo.gif' file I think. (Incase that helps...)

Thanks again!!

Re: Alignment is OK in my frame, but not as new window?

you get paypal to talk back to to your IPN within a frame? so that the order actually shows up in the zc admin?

also you should know that by using a frame you will not get any spider traffic,

since there are no links for it to follow

Re: Alignment is OK in my frame, but not as new window?

Ok, so even if I do re-design my site to have the store always open in it's own window, how do I fix the allignment problem?

Oh, and incase you haven't noticed, I'm a novice at this!!

Thank you for the spider comment, I didn't know that...

Yes, the paypal order showed up in admin under orders if that's what you meant? Again, I'm very new to this, so if there's something I'm missing please let me know!! The test client did use Express Paypal and not the other Paypal option. (I only have Express activated in my payment module).

Thanks!!

Re: Alignment is OK in my frame, but not as new window?

The line break is missing between the Logo.gif file and the Tag Line. What file do I edit to find that??

Re: Alignment is OK in my frame, but not as new window?

my guess would be to look in your template/common/tpl_header.php
