Could someone look at this code

[Eos]

This is a page from my site and when it's clicked on, the page opens but requires side to side scrolling.

We already tried changing the code '99%' to '800 px' with no luck.

Thanks for any help you may have.

Here is the code:

eos,

Not trying to be a smart-aleck here, but if the monitor's maximum resolution is 800x600, is there any chance that the pixels that make up the frame of the window and the scroll-bar are keeping you from getting the 800 pixel (or 99%) width?

What would happen if you set it to, say, 780?

 

[Eos]

Trying 780.

 

[Eos]

No luck.

Thanks though.

I'm set to 1680 wide, btw. If I can't see it without scrolling, we've got a problem!

Maybe you need to change the table's CSS overflow property.

can you link us to the page? it should be pretty easy to spot whatever is making the table stretch

also, 760 is the max width you can go without a sidescroll for 800x600 users

You bet:

page in question

I'm probably not going to conform to 800*600 res settings.

Oh, you need to eliminate the margins and padding at the top of the page. CSS styles: "margin: 0 0 0 0; padding: 0 0 0 0"

This?:

DIV.history {
border: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
align: middle;
}

No,

At the top of which page? The .css page or the main page?

 

[xtknight]

The HTML code of the site being sent to the user (you can not use less-than or greater-than signs in CSS files).

Somehow you need to set the margin and padding properties of the body tag to zero. Whether that entails editing the PHP or HTML, I don't know, that depends on if the PHP is writing the body tag or if there's HTML somewhere.

What is the code listed in the OP? It is PHP of some sort, but it looks like it's in the middle of the page somewhere. Where are the HTML and body tags written out?

Upon further examination, the problem actually lies somewhere within the CSS code. I can view the site without the CSS and I have no scrollbar problem.

BODY {
font-family: verdana;
}

When the font-family element (above) from the CSS is removed, it works fine. So, I believe the problem stems from different font sizes in your page.

Thanks for everyone's help.

where it outputs the page numbers in brackets, change the non breaking space to a regular space

your code shows a regular space, but its output as a & n b s p ; (without spaces)

 

[troytime]

yep, the AT code view has a bug
it converts the & n b s p ; to a real space character

fix it in your code, and i think you'll be set.
