Guest -> Virtual mauve template content (3/31/2001 23:51:00)

Am trying to add my own content to the new mauve template. But after deleting the instructions text, the cell size changes dramatically and causes the upper mauve area to become misaligned. It then takes numerous "return" presses to get the correct alignment again.
Am I doing something obviously wrong?

Instead of hitting the return key repeatedly - which is a bad idea - try just inserting your own text. Everything should magically shift back into place.

This happens because the cell width and height attributes are undefined - their content determines their size. This is done to ensure that the site remains lookinf spiffy at different resolutions, screen sizes and window sizes. So don;t be tempted to change it.

Hi,

Katherine's right about resolutions - and adding your own text should resolve the problem you're having.

If you're only adding a couple of lines there are a couple of things you can do:

1. locate the line in HTML view and find the lines of code: (The easiest way to do this is click once on the welcome graphic and open HTML view, the code should appear highlighted)

<td colspan="2"><table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img border="0" src="images/welcome.gif" width="153" height="31">

Change this to

<td colspan="2" valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="3">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><img border="0" src="images/welcome.gif" width="153" height="31">

2. Right click in the cell above the menu and adjacent cells and set the cell properties to "Top"

Hope that sorts it out.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks andy, your tweaking of the code seems to do the trick. The problem I was having was largely due to the fact that I was replacing the standard text with much less quantity of my own.
Thanks again
