Fastest way to make the content area's width stretch to the size of my content?
Do I need to install a them to do this or can I just modify some CSS somewhere?
What do you mean by "the size of my content?" What theme are you using? On Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 7:53 PM, Eric Sepich <sepich.eric@gmail.com> wrote:

It's the default theme. I don't remember the name. I think it might be called seven. My content is wide and "hangs over the end" of the background image. It looks really ugly. I don't want to resize my content. I want the content area to expand to fit my content. That is what I mean. Thanks. On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 9:10 PM, Carl Wiedemann <carl.wiedemann@gmail.com>wrote:

Text content generally breaks automatically. What is your content that "hangs?" Images? Tables? Posting a link to a skitch or imagebin screenshot would help clarify what you mean. In general, for layout customizations, you'll be using a custom theme, or subtheme, and subsequently altering the CSS files. Consider http://drupal.org/node/225125 (documentation for D6) On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 10:44 PM, Eric Sepich <sepich.eric@gmail.com> wrote:

You are right it is a table that hangs over the end. I wrote a full HTML file with CSS & DocType tags and am using "Full HTML" when I pasted the code in. For security reasons I can not post at link yet although soon I may be able to. On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 9:49 PM, Carl Wiedemann <carl.wiedemann@gmail.com>wrote:

As the width of the containing element decreases, table width minimally conforms with respect to the cell contents. This is problematic on many sites, even drupal.org ( http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/developer--topics--forms_api_reference.html... over the right column, for example) Consider using a different theme with a fluid width to better support this content, decrease table font size/margins/padding, or revise table content.

I haven't had the time to dig in to see how they did it, but the way that Lullabot does their code blocks on their redesign is both cool and functional. For an example, check out http://www.lullabot.com/articles/querying-slave-database-with-views and mouseover the code snippet that is wider than the content column. It's a bit of apples to oranges (table vs code tags), but depending on the content within the table it might be a possible solution. Justin

Please stop spamming the devel list with support requests. There are many avenues to get support within the Drupal community, but this is not one of them.

Yes, please, as a reminder see http://drupal.org/support for options. -- Earnie -- http://progw.com -- http://www.for-my-kids.com
