Right side of this site isn't being used:
http://telicalbooks.com/ I code by hand but started long time ago and haven't kept up with it. Help is appreciated. |

Hi!
Well, you have made everything a fixed width in px. I saw 555px somewhere. So that's what it will be. Remove that to start with. Having a height set for boxes that contain text isn't a good idea, so I'd remove that too. |

Having a height set for boxes that contain text isn't a good idea, so I'd remove that too. Thanks for the suggestions. It did not work. I took out all except the banner width/height's. Someone told me: "add another div in the blockquote div. I see 4 or 5 divs within it. The new div can be added with a left aligned in the CSS to accommodate the divs in the center of the page. " but I don't see a CSS file in the directory. BTW: there is the edited version here: http://telicalbooks.com/index3.html This post has been edited by Robert Brainstormer: Aug 5 2020, 06:32 PM |

It would have helped if you had gotten rid of all the widths. You still have this.
CODE <div id="Layer5" style="position:absolute; width:559px; height:160px; z-index:5; left: 262px; top: 220px;"> ^^^^^^^^^^^^ That DIV contains the text and limits its width to 559 pixels. Your style sheet is in the same folder as the HTML, here: http://telicalbooks.com/telicalstyle.css . But it doesn't contain anything that affects the layouts. You don't need more DIVs. You need less stuff. The blockquote should go for instance and so should the ancient JavaScript from Dreamweaver that looks for Netscape 4. |

Thanks. Odd how sometimes searching for things doesn't find them.
I did that change and now I have it all going too far with no right space. |

Then you use CSS margin.
Most editors, even Notepad, has a Find tool. It won't miss any instances of what you search for. |
