Tina Tina Webkinz Queen Garden Helper Registered: 11/12/05 Posts: 22745 Loc: So. Cal.	I decided to test it out on ie instead of firefox. To see if it is different. It is back to scroll to the side on ie and after several times x-ing out of the page and reclicking the link and several times of refreshing, it remains 'unsquished'. No bells and whistles and different colors pop up for me. Other than the scroll thing it is just the same as it is on firefox. Bill, I am not complaining. Just trying to report what I see. _________________________ ~Tina Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)

Tina Tina Webkinz Queen Garden Helper Registered: 11/12/05 Posts: 22745 Loc: So. Cal.	Originally Posted By: Wild Willy Module "c17" somehow fell out of place. Its back now and hopefully will work as remembered.... You know those 404 error pages at dead ends? Ours looks like this one now. I finally got my first ever page (this one) to be validated as "error free" by the W3C Yuppitys who make all the coding rules up just in time to have to start revising them all over again. They even gave me this Smurfy little button to put somewhere on the page... I love the way this page tells you you have come to the wrong place. It doesn't leave you feeling uncomfortably like you tried to go on forbidden ground like some do. And the title is stationary up at the top of the page. I had to go back and look again. _________________________ ~Tina Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)

Bill Bill The Bear Garden Helper Registered: 08/22/02 Posts: 12678 Loc: Cedar Hill, Washington	so I STILL don't know if it is all in my imagination? Perhaps I don't need to cut back on Hornitos in favor of doubling my dosage... Then it won't matter if its really real! I see by the old Smiley clock on the wall that its TEQUILA TIME EVERYWHERE!!! (as soon as I get back from the liquor store....) _________________________

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 23996 Loc: Worden, Illinois	Bill, I am confused---Now I realize that is NOT a hard task to accomplish, but what page are we referring back to, to see about the scrolling & buttons---- however I do like the Error page--I agree with Tina on that page. by the way--I have IE _________________________ ..............................

Bill Bill The Bear Garden Helper Registered: 08/22/02 Posts: 12678 Loc: Cedar Hill, Washington	The Magical Mystery page is RIGHT HERE The video button isn't a button, Its a cute little blue TV set, directly below Willy. I had a minor brain fart, and I think I might know the answer... maybe........... I'm not giving up until I'm either committed or I prove the existence of the magic buttons _________________________

Nana's11 Nana's11 Super Granny Dream Gardener Registered: 11/05/04 Posts: 3378 Loc: Littleton ,Colorado	I went an looked to Bill... the buttons turn gold when I click on them and the banner does look like it floats to me ... I see the tv...and watched some of the videos... the list kind of covers the tv unless you close it so maybe thats why we don't see it right away as a tv...I use IE too and can see them without scrolling on both my laptop and desktop...

JunieGirl JunieGirl Frogger Garden Helper Registered: 10/13/06 Posts: 23996 Loc: Worden, Illinois	OK Bill..... your little "TV" works great. The buttons on the left side light up gold when I put my cursor over them-- -- BUT to see the buttons AND all of Shadow I have to scroll side to side. not to mention some forums go really big while others stay what I consider normal. right now, in this thread to see the whole screen I would have to scroll over about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch---but that is no big deal---- what I am missing is just the outside edge of the shout box, and what surrounds it on the right side--and not seeing that is no problem. PS On a main page like the one showing ALL that Banter Hall has to offer things are just perfectly positioned.

Tina Tina Webkinz Queen Garden Helper Registered: 11/12/05 Posts: 22745 Loc: So. Cal.	Ok, Bill. I took a screen shot of what I see and I will describe what happens. First I cut off the right side because it was too large and didn't resize like I wanted it to. So the right side has ads in a white box. The buttons on the right do turn gold now. The frame around Shadows gorgeous smile turns green when clicked on But the title on the top is firmly affixed _________________________ ~Tina Drama Free Zone.

Bill Bill The Bear Garden Helper Registered: 08/22/02 Posts: 12678 Loc: Cedar Hill, Washington	Usually I can use the horizontal squishit factor to make a columned page self adjust to fit any screen or resolution but in the case of the Shadow page, each column had something with a defined width (Google ad is 728 px, the TV set is 275 px etc) The only column that has any squishability is the main one. It can be any size over 728px. If you add the 4 totals together, you can plainly see that the obvious solution is for all of you to get new monitors! Anyway... The long and short of the story is that having four columns caused some people to have to scroll. The page just can't sqhuishit itself enough. I don't feel too bad making you scroll sideways once in a while, but since this design template will be used universally on hundreds of pages throughout TGH I changed it a bit to make it more user friendly... I value all of your input! With it I will be able to make changes as I move through my project. Please let me know how this puppy works for you.... http://www.thegardenhelper.com/blue/bluetest.html _________________________

The only scrolling I have to do is if I want to see the ads on the right side. All else is just perfectly situated. _________________________ ..............................
