CSS Resizing
 
Lenny I'm looking at you for help, I know how to do CSS on my own now, but I can't figure out how to resize this properly.

I resized it from 757 to 900 as you will notice below.

Code:
body {
        font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        font-size: 12px;
        font-weight: normal;
        color: #666666;
        text-decoration: none;
        background-image: url(http://www.nrgs-fuzion-gaming-america.com/images/bg.png);
        background-repeat: repeat-y;
        background-position: center top;
        background-color: #E5E3D5;
        margin: 0px;
        padding: 0px;
}
.tophead {
        background-image: url(http://www.nrgs-fuzion-gaming-america.com/images/topbar.png);
        height: 31px;
        background-repeat: repeat-x;
        margin: 0px;
        padding: 0px;
}
.main .tophead h1 {
        padding-left: 15px;
        color: #CC6633;
        margin: 0px;
        padding-top: 0px;
        padding-right: 0px;
        padding-bottom: 0px;
}
.spacer {
        clear: both;
}
.main .footer .footertexts {
}
.main .footer .footertexts a {

If you want to see what I mean by it not resizing quite right take a look here

Oh, and by the way if all the problem is, is that I have to resize the pictures I was going to do it anyways.

Resizing the pictures is an idea before carrying on.

It could be that you've set the tables... in fact, nevermind, I've just had a lookee at the page source and noticed that you've done the whole thing using DIVs. I'd have been more inclined to use a table, but that's personal preference. If it wasn't that big a job, I'd say try a page with tables, but it would mean re-coding a big chunk of the CSS.

For the moment, resize everything, and make sure that widths are set for elements that need them - say, erm, just a random example not taken from the CSS above, a content box. Make sure it's set to "width: 900px;" and not just left to work things out itself.

---

Just another personal thing - I'd be inclined to do away with settings margins. I've found that they're nothing but trouble. With my CSS I put "margin: 0 auto;" within each element. If you need something to be indented some way into the page, then... no, that goes back to tables - I just make cells the right width and what not. Though I suppose layers could be used - a single row table in front of the rest, containing the thing that needs to be indented with indents controlled by cells.

But it's something maybe worth looking at - make sure all your margins are right.

I can't figure it out, and I don't want to convert to tables...

Lenny 2008-02-05 09:25 AM
Any reason why?

Oh, and have you resized all the graphics? If you have, is the resized page uploaded?

Goodlookinguy 2008-02-05 10:14 AM
I resized all of the graphics and tried it on a secret page, and it was just like before except that the lines went out past the white part.

The reason I want to do this is because I don't like the width of the page I want it to be wider.

Lenny 2008-02-05 10:44 AM
Fair enough. But why don't you like tables? :p

And do you mind if I download a page of your site and have a mess around?

Goodlookinguy 2008-02-05 12:19 PM
You can download whatever you want scroll down to the very bottom of the page to download the CSS, it will say CSS and be the color blue.

Goodlookinguy 2008-03-18 05:18 AM
Well Lenny, looks like I went for tables in my new design. I currently have my site down while I'm uploading my new site.

Lenny 2008-03-18 10:33 AM
Yay! Tables is nice. :)

What made you change?

Goodlookinguy 2008-03-18 11:38 AM
It was giving me a lot of issues when trying to place things down.
