I am using Teline II and !.5.9. I would be obliged if someone could tell me how to increase the space between the border of the articles and the content. As it is now, the first letter of the first word of every line starts exactly at the window, sticking to the border, which makes the word a little difficult to read. I wonder if anyone else has solved this.
Thanks

Thanks

Thanks for replying, sorry it took so long to answer. I found the answer. The problem was IE6. On IE7 it works fine.
The left space is the same. Thanks for answering.

The front page looks weird in IE6. I am not sure why, but it seems like the table doesn’t divide right. Has anybody seem this before, and knows why it’s happening?

Hello,

I don’t have your answer, but I do want to clarify your problem for others who are looking at your post.

At first look at the page, the left margin problem is easy to miss. On wide screen it looks fine since there is white space on left and right of page between page and browser window.

On closer inspection you will find that at lesser resolution, the content of an article does indeed butt right up to the left edge of the browser window. A padding in the main content area on the left side is needed to fix this problem. 10 to 20px ought to do it, I just am not sure which element in the css controls this for sure since it is the article pages themselves and not the front page. Anything I have tried also adds unnecessary padding to the left on the front page as well.

Sorry I don’t have the answer for you, but I am sure someone does.
