what is css code to set content width of powerstore 2 =to 780 px?

the powerstore 2 index.php page I installed (attached) expands the content to fill the screen. see: store/

whereas the website index.php page at www.ruffdraftdesigns.com sets the content width to 780 px and shows a background pic surrounding it.

how do I code the ruffdraftdesigns.com/store/index.php page so it's width is set to 780px just like the ruffdraftdesigns.com/index.php page? thank you.

If I understand your question correctly you are talking about the out dimensions of the page.

This is set in the file CSS/common.css

#outerWrapper {
background-image: url("../Images/outerWrapper_bg.png");
background-repeat: repeat-y;
margin: 0px auto 0px auto;
text-align: left;
width: 1001px;
padding: 0px 9px;
}

Just change the width to 780px

Hope that helps.

thanks

hi danjen. this was my first post and probably the simplest question anyone ever asked. Thanks for the answer so quickly. Is the thank you note for good help implied or left off in these forums? Or should I add a last REPLY with a thank you. I don't know the common practice here, and I am grateful. Anyway, thank you. davidsix@ruffdraftdesigns

I am glad that helped. I usually post a thank you so that anyone else looking at the post will know if the answer worked or not, but not everyone does that. It's whatever works best for you. Take care.

change width of index.php page, now other elements are askew

maybe spoke too soon. when I changed the page width to 780 the rest of the display (nav, header...) went askew. If you have a suggestion to fix the page at store/ please let me know. thanks.

Everything on the page has been designed to fit into a 1001px width. Since you changed that it had to move some things down since they will no longer fit within that area. You will need to change the placement of some of the items to fit in this new width. The search box will have to go somewhere else. It will not fit next to the menu at that width. The width of the search box is 300px and you are reducing the width of the page by 220 px, so this will not fit where it is currently at. You may want to try moving it up in the page, or maybe in the left column. Just a suggestion.


Also the featured items box will need to be made smaller to fit into that width also.
