Check out the differences between the first and second product on this page:
http://www.uniformcorner.com/~uniformc/acatalog/chefcoats.html

The column widths on all our pages differ like this, but I cannot find a difference in them at Act_Productline.html.

All products are set to Parent Product Layout.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

the images to the left are left aligned? are the images to the right right aligned?

I would set the column widths of both the image column and the text column for both rows

Pin,

Which HTML file contains the text column width?

Thanks!

it seems to me that all you can do is set the widths to 50%. Thiswill equalise the width of the columns.

Otherwise change the product layout to have all the images o n the left or right but not alternate

Okay, that's what I've been looking into but I don't see where to set the text column width?

Here's what the code on my 2nd product looks like.

<!-- Next product in the template starts here -->
NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE Act_ProductSeparator.html
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN

<TD ROWSPAN="2" VALIGN="TOP" ALIGN="RIGHT" width="50%">

find this line add the width = 50%

not sure if it will work! do the same for the first product too

No luck. I'd already tried sticking it there before you replied. :(

What I don't understand is how the first product can be exactly like I want it without me calling out the column size!

:confused:

Excuse me, I meant the first PRODUCT, not column. :)

it seems that it is the first product image with is setting the width.

what is the table width thatyou are using? design options, site defaults ACTSTDWIDTH?

why not divide that by 2 and make the first image that width.

I reckon even if you can get the columns equal you will end up with a load of dead space

Tables aren't designed to allow the first row 75% - 25% and the 2nd 25% - 75%. (this is normally done with nested tables)

Pin,

I just took an easy way out. I copied the successful code of the first product over the second product and now at least everything is even.

Now I just need to figure out how to right and left offset the images like it was set originally. LOL
