Recip frustration
 

I've spent the past few days re-working my recip tables. I was using custom recips, but pissed off a few people for it. So, I went and copy/pasted the HTML of the approved recips for everyone's site. I figured this would be an easy task, but somehow I f'ed it up.

I have my recip area in a

Yep, it's a mess |boobies|

Yeah, I've been picking at these tables since a Christmas eve or so. Haven't submitted any sites in about a week, because I don't want to submit that kind of crap. I feel like a bloomin retard that after almost a week I can't figure out what the hell I'm doing wrong, with one small piece of HTML.

That's fucked up. I took out just the recips & put them into Namo (my html editor) & they are fine, so I have to assume that it's something else in your coding, like the style stuff up top.

Recips have their own width=. Depending on the layout, CSS won't override that. So....dump the LL recips and build your own.

It's your CSS, silly. It's bending over the HTML in the recip table and ass-fisting it. Always label your CSS elements with specific names so they don't interfere with commonly used HTML attributes.

Change this:
p {
padding: 0px 100px;
}

to:
p {
padding: 0px 10px;
}

or give p a class name, such as p.sexy:

p.sexy {
padding: 0px 10px;
}

Thanks Useless Warrior. That makes sense now. I'll give that a shot and hope for the best. Since I'm still getting the hang of CSS, this probably won't be the last bit of ass fisting I have to deal with, but I appreciate the look at my code.

When you stumble as often I as do, you begin to remember what it is that you've been tripping over.

Ok, Useless Warrior is the man! Thanks again for the help, it all seems to be in the right place now.

Site looks great Ody :)

Nicely done UW |thumb

Who says you're useless??? :D

Labelling the css elements...man, that is soo true and been there myself with issues. Especially when your css gets very large. But anyways, looks good now....except for the fact mine isn't in the recip table....lol

Happy new years everyone!
