've managed to massage the content of our eve community to be a fixed width and left aligned on the page. There is however, one fly in the ointment and that is in the dropdown menus on the page....they no longer line up vertically with the trigger tabs.
I've used a stylesheet to set the absolute psition of the content containers div id's.


The first is a div tag added via the 'post body tag open' and 'pre body tag close' options in the admin console <div id="maincontainer"> </div> i.e. one big div tag to cover all content:

#maincontainer {
position:absolute;
left:0px;
top:0px;
}

this works in IE PC/Mac and in Safari on a Mac but doesn't override the text-align:center; attribute of <div id="ev_common_master_div1"></div> in the eve stylesheet when viewing in Mozilla based browsers like Netscape and Firefox.
So I tweaked the <div id="ev_common_master_div1"></div> tag in my stylesheet as follows:

#ev_common_master_div1{
position:absolute;
left:8px;
top:110px;
}

This fixes the alignment but the dropdowns on the tabs is messed up. They line up horizontally but are some 80 pixels of vertically.


Is there an easier way to get a fixed width, left aligned layout to the community pages? It really should be in the Admin console.

Any input appreciated.


Actually I'm looking at this forum and it does almost exactly what I want ours to do except I don't want the ev_common_master_div1 to be width:100%; and less of a margin on the left. I've compared source codes and style sheets and for the life of me I can't see where the setting for this is hidden.

Hi Zeroguru,

Did my suggestions here work for you?
