Hello,

I was using firebug to try and modifiy the css code of the “ja-container”. When I tried to modifiy the width (980px) I didn’t find any path to any file.

Here is a pic of the code :

At

body.bd .main {
width: 980px;
}
/joomla15/ (line 43)

“joomla15” is the root of my website and the “line 43” is what I’m looking for.

Any idea of how to modifiy this propriety ?

Thanks

What is it exactly you are wanting/trying to accomplish?

So that I may best try to assist you and provide you with concise guidance as to what you need to do within your template/site structure, please provide the url of the site you’re working on, as well as set “Optimize CSS” to “No” within your Template Manager–General Settings

Try looking within one of the following two locations . . . .

/joomla15/plugins/system/jat3/base-themes/default/css/template.css …. at line 21

or

/joomla15/templates/ja_t3_blank/css/template.css …. at line 18

No none of them have the width:980 at the lines you mentioned.

Do you know why it says at /joomla15/ on line 43 on the pic ?

You can try to add this property to one of the rules I mentioned . . . and/or add a “

body.bd .main” rule to either of the two template.css files I mentioned previously. For example . . .

Within –> /joomla15/templates/ja_t3_blank/css/template.css

add the following;

body.bd .main {

width: 980px;
margin: 0 auto;
}

This will also center your site in the middle of the viewing screen.
Not sure if this is what you wanted – but if not, simply remove the “margin” property.

I tested this out via Firebug, and it worked.

I do not … as this “item” does not come up for me when I bring up your site in Firebug.

I tried what you proposed but it didn’t work with me. The thing I’m trying to do is to delete the “width: 980px” so it will arrange the position of the logo and the website’s name. Adding the code you gave me in the template.css doesn’t delete it from where it is.

<blockquote>I do not … as this “item” does not come up for me when I bring up your site in Firebug. </blockquote>

did you try to click on the <div class=”main”> in the botton left windows of firebug ?

Perhaps if you can throw together a mock-up screenshot of what you want your display to look like,
I might be able to get a better idea of what you’re going for so as to provide better recommendations.
