Table Width

[BillG81]

I am using a template that has "Columns" but in the style sheet there is no reference to column width. The main article box is a table according to the HTML. I want to create just one large box, but it still only utilizes the right portion of the window. 

I am using the theater template, and had adjusted the style sheet as follows:

.COLWIDTH{
width:600px;
}

.MAINWIDTH{
width:600px;
}

.TEMPLATEWIDTH{
width:600px;
}

Still no love. Any suggestions? I just want one box that is the width of the template for a general announcement. 

Thanks for your help.

The table for each box is set at 100%. All this does is keep me from adding a box in the space to the left of the article box I am trying to enlarge.

Hi Bill,

Is it ok if I take a look at your account to see what your email looks like?

If you're starting from scratch, you can always choose one of our Horizontal Blocks templates. Those are set up with full width blocks.

You can also delete all blocks on the right side. Then you can drag and drop your block down or up so that it fills the entire width of the template.

Let me know if that makes sense!

You can look at the account. The email in question is the Oklahoma Announcement. I deleted every block but the logo which is the right size, then added them back in. Still all justified to the right.

Hi Bill,

I see that you are having some difficulty getting the template layout exactly how you want it. I'd be more than happy to assist you. I was able to correct this issue for you by changing that section that says COLWIDTH in the style sheet to 0 and leaving main as 600. The reason for this is because COLWIDTH is the left column width as whole. So by reducing that to 0 the main width of the blocks on the right hand side take over. I made a copy of your email in your account with these changes reflected. You can find the copy under the name t2copy of Oklahoma Announcement. Please let me know if these changes work for you.

Sincerely,

[BillG81]

That is it exactly. Thank you very much. I was confused with the column width, but no designation of left or right column. Should have realized it would have defaulted to left. 

Thanks again.
