Links doesn't display correctly on large monitors?
I have 2 versions of links installed. One displays fine on all size monitors. The other one only displays in 480x640, as a result doesn't fill the screen in 19 & 21 inch monitors. I'm using the yahoo templates in the version that is giving me this problem. In the other version that displays right i'm useing the cassified adds mod. I'm sorta stumped by this? Does anyone have any ideas how I might remedy this?

Thanks,
Ellis Ward

I suspect, and I could be wrong, that the version you say doesn't fill the screen has pre-defined table widths.

That is, where a table is defined in the HTML instead of <table width=100%> (which will expand and contract to fit whatever desktop size the user has) it might say <table width=600> or some similar number, which will only allow the table to expand to a set width of pixels no matter what the users desktop size is.

Have a look in the site_html or templates and just check to see if there are numbers for the width settings of your tables!

You'll need to be careful if you have nested tables, possibly to contain response or search forms or maybe even advertisements, etc. but you'll soon figure out which ones are nested if you adjust the width settings of them.

Hope this helps.


All the best

In other words...percentages are more universally accessibly and standard than using pixil widths in table attributes.
