Formatting gone awry... what the heck is that doing over THERE!?

bummer... i have been using safari to test everything.

any thoughts on how i might correct the formatting to show up the way it's supposed to in other browsers?

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!

Code:

{* $Id: home.tpl,v 1.67.2.10 2005/10/31 11:36:14 max Exp $ *}
{config_load file="$skin_config"}
<HTML>

<TITLE>
{if $config.SEO.page_title_format eq "A"}
{section name=position loop=$location}
{$location[position].0|escape}

{/section}
{else}
{section name=position loop=$location step=-1}
{$location[position].0|escape}
{if not %position.last%} :: {/if}
{/section}
{/if}

remove the table inside,...change the code up top to:

Code:

		<TD border="0" valign="top">
			{include file="customer/home_main.tpl"}
		</td>

i took out the table.... but it didn't change anything. weird huh?

in opera, all main content pages are as wide as the contents in them,

it's the same in safari, except for the product details, which actually scale to 100% width like they are supposed to.

is it hopeless?
