Hello,

I'm working on DNN sites installation and skin design, a little...

One of my user is asking me for a fixed width for the different panes ( as to say, the 3 main :left, content and right panels..) using a percentage, for allowing resizing when different screen resolution. I did it by using css classes :
.leftpane
width="20%"

.contentpane
width="60%"

.rightpane
width="20%"

When the page is empty, everything is ok, but when he adds a module in the left pane for example, this pane extends to more than the percentage fixed in the css......

What can be done to get every module added in a pane respecting the width attributed to the pane ?

Thanks a lot for your help,

What you need to be careful of is the length of the titles for the containers that you add.

For instance if you add a container with a title that is wider that the 20% width, it will force the skin to display the left pane wider than you intended.

The same goes for the content that you add, if you place an image inside your text/html module that is wider than 20%, again this will force the left pane to display wider than intended.

You can't force a container title to go to the next line if it is too wide, the only way to do this is to add break tags into the title.
