Why do some pages break my template?

Hi,

I am working on making a custom template for my site :clap:. I have a problem where some pages it looks good and others it breaks the template. You can see what I mean here.

This page looks fine.
http://www.wildflower-graphics.com/shop/

This one breaks the template.
http://www.wildflower-graphics.com/shop/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

I am guessing this is due to the content in the center column being to large. How do I constrain it to just 660px width?

Thanks for your help. I am totally new to this php stuff and am sure lost.

Re: Why do some pages break my template?

This is intermitant as a refresh squares it - but this is most luikely the result of some miss coding of your added tables of which from what I can see are not required at all...

Re: Why do some pages break my template?

Oh I think I figured it out. The little advertisement box at the bottom of the template changes it depending on the width of the graphic they used. Now to figure out how to take that off.

You say I don't need my added tables? That is how I added my template. Is there a better way to do it? I do NOT understand PHP.:blink:

Re: Why do some pages break my template?

apply a single background image to the body tag in your stylesheet.css - of course you need to make this one image

Re: Why do some pages break my template?

I thought about that but was afraid I would not be able to merge the image properly with the rest of it. I will give it a shot though.

If I can't make it work will having tables as I have be a bad thing for how the cart works?

Thanks so much for your help Kobra! I really appreciate it!

As long as you know how to create and apply them - No problem

I just really hate them when used as this as they are meant to be used for things that are "Tables" and no more

:blush:Thanks, I think the single background image in the body idea is going to help me with my current issue....
