I've taken into account the comments I've received on the website I asked for opinions on and I am having difficulty editing some aspects of the template I used.

I am trying to reduce the width of the page so that the horizontal scroll bar is removed but cannot seem to get into the area of the template preferences that allows me to correct this. I haven't had this software long and am still in the learning process with it. I have had some basic instruction at work so that I can edit the an appropriate section of my employers website but not sufficent to cover this type of area.

Does anyone have any ideas? I am stuck:help:

You have not put up any link to your page this time.

Line 29 of your code:


<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="129%" border=0>

Alter the width from 129% to something more sensible - 780 would allow the page to be viewed without problems on an 800x600 monitor.

I can see all your page with no horizontal slide bar because my screen resolution is set at 1024 x 768.

If you are going to reduce it, I think it looks better to centre the whole page.

Is this better now guys or do you think that looks too small?

Thanks for the coding details alresearch but I also found another way to alter it. I fiddled around for a bit more - don't know why I didn't work this out before.:blush:

Better (for 800x600), but you might be better sticking to setting your size in % rather than in pixels.

If you set the table width to 95%, it will fill 95% of the screen, regardless of whether it's 800x600 or 1024x768.
