After altering my guestbook to fit into my web page I modified the footer to place some links into it, is there any way to get the links and text directly underneath the guestbook to be central under the guestbook.

Thanks for any help

Looks like it could be a problem in the HTML then, just trying to find out how to fix it and what document they are in.

Thanks

Its a strange one, its definetly different on mine because its the same problem with my e-mail form on the contact us page, in internet explorer the fields move to the right.

Thanks

Now that I have my guestbook placed into one of my web pages, the only problem is that in firefox and netscape everything looks ok, but in Internet explorer the wording at the top, thank you for stopping by and the total records text has shifted to the centre, also on the sign guestbook page the text fields have also moved to the right. This only happens in Internet explorer. Any suggestions? The site is at www.fellglintpugs.co.uk

Thanks

Sorted, I just pasted the required code from the original header php into the modified one and removed the css.

Thanks for your help Carbonize.

I haven't added them to the style sheet, the only external style sheet I have is the one for the link styles, this is the entry php

<tr bgcolor="$bgcolor">
<td width="32%" valign="top">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
<tr>
<td style="font-family: $VARS[font_face]; font-size: $VARS[tb_font_2]; color: $VARS[text_color]" valign="top" width="8%"><b>$id)</b></td>

<td width="92%"> <img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/ip.gif" width="14" height="14" alt="$LANG[AltIP]">  <img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/browser.gif" width="16" height="16" alt="$row[browser]"> 
$URL
$ICQ
$AIM
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="font1"><b>$row[name]</b> $GENDER</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="font1">$row[email]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" class="font2">$LANG[FormLoc]:<br>$row[location]</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td width="68%" class="font1" valign="top">
<div align="left" class="font3"><img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/post.gif" width="9" height="9">$DATE $HOST
<a href="$GB_COMMENT"><img src="$GB_PG[base_url]/img/edit.gif" width="18" height="13" border="0" alt="$LANG[AltCom]"></a>
$EMAIL
</div>
<hr size="1"><div align="left">
$USER_PIC $MESSAGE
</div>
$COMMENT
</td>
</tr>

could you point me in the right direction where to edit it, and what to place where. Sorry to sound so dumb.

Tom

Thanks for your reply, I have tried what you said but the text size doesn't change, do you have any other ideas that I could try? must be my style sheet screwing things up, but I need to keep the links on the page the same size.

Thanks

Is this where I need to paste the code in the entry php, <td class="font2" valign="top" width="8%"><b>$id)</b></td>, if so what about the font 1 size? Just a bit confused.

Thanks

Thanks for your reply carbonize, I'll give it a try and see how it goes on.

Tom

I have incorporated the advanced guestbook into my own web page by editing the header after reading a post from carbonize, all has worked out well, except the font sizes are a little too big now, if I try to change them in Admin styles nothing happens. If I look in the header php I also cannot see a way to change it, I do have a style sheet in there for the link styles but the other css in there is for other parts of the site. Could this be whats screwing it up, this is the header php,

You need to edit the english php file in the Lang folder, there you can change it to whatever you like.

TomH

Thank you, I think I understand now, it seems a bit complicated so I may leave things as they are for now.

TomH

Thanks for your reply, so I would just copy the html then open it in dreamweaver and apply the dreamweaver template? Is it then just a case of uploading it to the guestbook folder? and which file would it replace?

Thanks

How would I apply a Dreamweaver template to my Advanced guestbook, as though I was creating another web page. I have searched the forum, but can only find one reference to this and the poster doesn't mention how he did it.

Thanks

Thanks very much Carbonize, that worked a treat.

Tom
