Problems getting site to be 800 pixels wide

[kobescoresagain]

I would rather have a fixed layout, could you give me an idea of which templates I would have to fix?

do a search for $spacer_open

I have gotten rid of a few. If you were to click on a user name to get the page that will allow you to pm, send an email, and see the profile fields. I am still getting a width problem. Below is for sure the area of code I am getting the problem in, (if I remove everything works right) Where could it be in this?

<if condition="$webpage['quickedit_form']">
$webpage[quickedit_form]
</if>

<table align=center width="$wghtml[webgbtotalwidth]" border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
<tr>
<if condition="$webpage[gb_onoff] == 'on'">
<if condition="$webpage[gb_position] == 'left'">
<!-- START HEADER POS. LEFT GUESTBOOK ON/OFF CHECK -->
<td valign=top width="$wghtml[gbwidth]">$webpage[gb_html]</td>
<!-- END HEADER POS. LEFT GUESTBOOK ON/OFF CHECK -->
</if>
</if>
<td valign=top width="$wghtml[webpagewidth]">

<if condition="$webpage[webpage_onoff] == 'on'">

<if condition="$webpage[text]">
<!-- START MAIN WEBPAGE ON/OFF CHECK -->
$webpage[header]

<table style="margin-top: 6px" align=center width=99% bgcolor="$webpage[bordercolor]" border=0 cellspacing="$webpage[bordersize]" cellpadding="$webpage[bordersize]">
<tr><td valign=top bgcolor="$webpage[bgcolor]">

<font size=3 face="$webpage[fontface]" color="$webpage[fontcolor]"><b>$webpage[name]</b><br>
</font>
<br>

<font size="$wghtml[defaultfontsize]" face="$wghtml[defaultfontface]" color="$wghtml[defaultfontcolor]">
$webpage[text]<br>
</font>

</td></tr>
</table>
<div style="margin-right: 10px" align=right><font size=1><b>$vbphrase[views]:</b> $webpage[hits]</font><br>
<if condition="$webpage['quickedit_button']">
$webpage[quickedit_button]
</if>
</div>

<else />
<center>
<font color="$wghtml[no_content_textcolor]">$vbphrase[webpage_has_no_content]
</font></center><br>
</if>

<br />
<!-- END MAIN WEBPAGE ON/OFF CHECK -->
</if> 

<if condition="$webpage[gb_onoff] == 'on'">
<if condition="$webpage[gb_position] == 'right'">
<!-- START POS. RIGHT GUESTBOOK ON/OFF CHECK -->
</td><td valign=top width="$wghtml[gbwidth]">$webpage[gb_html]</td></tr>
</table>
<!-- END POS. RIGHT GUESTBOOK ON/OFF CHECK -->
</if>
<if condition="$webpage[gb_position] == 'left'">
<!-- START POS. LEFT GUESTBOOK ON/OFF CHECK -->
</td></tr>
</table>
<!-- END POS. LEFT GUESTBOOK ON/OFF CHECK -->
</if>
<if condition="$webpage[gb_position] == 'bottom'">
<!-- START BOTTOM GUESTBOOK ON/OFF CHECK -->
</table>
$webpage[gb_html]
<!-- END BOTTOM GUESTBOOK ON/OFF CHECK -->
</if>
<else />
<table>
</if>

I'm not familiar with the hack but you should try looking in the the html source.
My guess is that it will be $wghtml[webgbtotalwidth] ...

TIP
Remove all the <font> tags or remove the XHTML DOCTYPE

I looked through that file, tried to change alot of the things, it didn't change the width issue. Here is the code. Any advice would be appreciated.

<?
//This file includes settings for Webpage and Guestbook script
//Preconfigured for vB default blue scheme
$wghtml['webgbtotalwidth'] = '100%	';
$wghtml['webpagewidth'] = '55%'; //Default 60%
$wghtml['gbwidth'] = '35%'; //Default 40%
$wghtml['gbpagelimit'] = '10';
$wghtml['gbpagestoshow'] = '10';

$wghtml['defaultfontface'] = 'Arial, Helvetica';
$wghtml['defaultfontsize'] = '2';
$wghtml['defaultfontcolor'] = 'black';

$wghtml['borderline'] = 'black';
$wghtml['lastupdatebgcolor'] = '#C7D0DF';
$wghtml['lastupdatetextcolor'] = '#000000';
$wghtml['gbentrytimetextcolor'] = '#444444';
?>

The usual size of a site is 760 pixels if you want it to fit on an 800 pixel screen.

Remember the user has scroll bars to deal with and other junk. It's unwise to make it a full 800 pixels across because you're likely to have the bottom scroll bar show up.

Also, as another user said, you should consider both a fixed width and a liquid or scalable width to make it easier on people who have a bigger screen.

Also, the liquid one, if set up as a child style of the fixed width one can make it easier for you to see problem areas because they will show up with weird formatting when you change the size of the browser on a really big screen.

This has helped me debug size issues before.

Just my two cents.
