Placement of Exhibition Formats

horndesign / 2010-01-18 19:13:40   

Hi, Im new to indexhibit and equally new to coding. but i was wondering if there was a way to shift the placement of the 'slideshow' exhibition format so that with roughly 150px to the left, or closer to the placement of the text in "deux column' e.f.

problem child

as you can see here the image and menu items are butting up against one another, I would just like them to play nicely. best case scenario it would look like this page
deux column but as the 'slideshow'

Thanks for your help.
Jimmy

you gotta edit the margin of #content so it moves right next to #menu....
If you have a width of 300px for your #menu then the left margin of #content should be 300px...

#content {
height:100%;
margin:0 0 0 225px;
padding:30px 5px 25px 40px;
top:0;
}

i must be doing something wrong I changed the left margin to 300 saw no change, changed it to 350 saw nothing, then changed all left margins to 350 still nothing...

this is what my css looks like for the content

#content {
        height: 100%;
        margin-top: 0px;
        margin-right: 0px;
        margin-bottom: 0px;
        margin-left: 350px;
     top: 0;
         padding-top: 30px;
        padding-right: 5px;
        padding-bottom: 25px;
        padding-left: 40px;
    }

    .container {
        margin-bottom: 25px;
    }

    #content p {
        width: 600px;
        margin-top: 0px;
        margin-right: 0px;
        margin-bottom: 20px;
        margin-left: 350px;     
     line-height: 18px;
    }

    p {
margin-top: 0;
margin-right: 0;
margin-bottom: 9px;
margin-left: 350px;
    }

Changing the margin-left didn't effect anything. is there any way to insert html text in 'exhibition edit' text field that could make this change?

thanks

are you sure you're editing and uploading the stylesheet in the right folder -> ndxz-studio/site/osd_commented/style.css ?

I was, but i wasn't refreshing the folder so each time i saved it wasnt getting noted by filezilla. oops.

but now my image placement is off, I would assume i should shift the left margin 300px however that didnt do it. ill play around for a bit but im open to suggestions on this, as well as why the next/previous buttons are stacked rather than in a line.

thanks

i got the images, now its just next prev button.

oh snap, look at what this has done to my logo above my main nav. it has also shifted this 300px over.

well, your new css is working, then...
in your place I would check the html and compare it with the css, surely you'll find out how to solve your problem
and don't forget to refresh your page every time! ;-)
