hi again!
i have been playing with the customer/home.tpl file, and now i at least gotten consistant results when i test the site in various browsers....
but... i'm still having issues! (there is always something, huh?)
anyway, i'm stumped! if you want a challenge, here is the revised version of my home.tpl file.
my goal is to have the main content area be left justified..... but also set at 90% width. this way, the contents of my dialog boxes will resize and space out their contents depending on the size of the viewers window.
with an older home.tpl i had this working in Safari, but it didnt look right in other browsers. the way it is now, the main content only scales to 90% width on a product detail page, but no other pages. so weird!? all of my contents in their respective .tpl files is set to 100% width.
>>>why is the table in the home.tpl that holds {include file="customer/home_main.tpl"} not sizing itself to the 100% width property for all the min contents?<<<
anyway.... thanks again for your time!
