Fixed width to the left, center and right column

[cdembek]

My site is www.cannondalecentral.com

my issue is... if the site is not viewed in widescreen, or page is not max size the left column titles become 2 lines..

Example..


full width

Module top posters = Top Posters

Min width

Module top posters = Top
Posters

Any suggestions?

That's something that will happen with HTML when you have a fixed width set on some table cells and 100% on another. If you didn't have that map image in the center though then it wouldn't get "squished" like that as often.

I understand what your telling me.. but the "squished" text happens on my forum page and not on my home page.

So I dug into this a little...

I went to the portal template to try and control the widths on my test forum... got the same outcome... I was thinking that the modules (left and right side) that are on every page perhaps I can, with in the code for the module set a fixed width????

Just throwing out concpts...

also if I donate to this site do you get any part of that? Received lots of answers from you.. would like to help and make sure you get paid..

It looks to me like it is happening on your homepage as well, it just won't "squish" quite as much... Probably because of the long image in your poll module. One thing you might try though would be to edit your adv_portal template and add some spacer images at the top of the table cells for your left and right columns. Something like this right after each <td> cell:

<img alt="" src="$vboptions[bburl]/$vboptions[cleargifurl]" width="$vba_style[portal_leftcolwidth]" height="1" />

With a image in there, that should prevent the columns from being "squished" at all.


Oh, and I would get any money that was sent in the form of a donation, but that's really not necessary. :)
