Hi all,
I've just started with the layout of my Miva Merchant 4.24.
My website is a fixed width (rightly or wrongly) and I'm trying to have the shopping cart the same. (850 pixels.)
Anyway I've put the logo etc in the page header but the NAV bar is set at "100%" in the HTML. I've seen this by clicking edit,source, in my browser. As Miva is not accessable like oscommerce (.php files) how do you suggest I change the NAV bar width to 850 pixels? I can't find a way to do this in the Site Administration Panel.

Thanks

Why not just wrap the entire store in an 850 px wide table?

Start it in your global header:

<table width="850">
<tr>
<td>

And end it in your global footer:
</td>
</tr>
</table>

That way it wont matter, everything is contained inside the table.

Wrap the body with a div or table set to a fixed width. You can do this in the global header and footer...and no, the script files are not directly accessable without a source kit and compiler.

Alternatively, if you want to avoid additional unnecessary tables, you could use CSS.

BTW - you could change the navbar entirely by creating your own and eliminating the call to the default one. Just uncheck navigation bar under PAGE SECTIONS in the admin.

Sometimes the most obvious is the hardest to see!
Thanks again!
