[Mr. LL]

Hello, can you all click on these links, scroll down and tell me if they look OK or not. The main ones I am worried about are 1 and 2, on my home PC it looks fine but on my work laptop the description goes off the screen at the bottom and mixes in with the rest of the page, it should look smooth and not jumbled at the bottom like the listing is mixing in with the rest of the ebay page. I hope it is just my laptop but if not then I need to figure out what is wrong with the HTML in the auction.

I used the same HTML template and just added the text and formating but 3 and 4 look fine on both my PC's, 1 and 2 look messed up and run off into the rest ofthe page. Can anyone help me with this, I'm not sure if there is something I messed up in the HTML that is causing this to happen or what the deal is.

2. Dell Poweredge 1750, dual Xeon 2.4GHZ, 2GB, 3 x 73GB - eBay (item 190244071894 end time Aug-22-08 17:22:46 PDT)

3. Dell Poweredge 1550 1650 1750 hard drive Caddy, Sled. - eBay (item 190244054772 end time Aug-22-08 15:35:46 PDT)

4. Poweredge 2500 Bezel - eBay (item 190245667418 end time Aug-26-08 19:13:21 PDT)

Thanks for your help.

Here is a example:

[CrazeD]

3 and 4 work fine because they do not exceed the container height.

If you post the HTML you used, I will help you fix it.

[Mr. LL]

Thanks, I can see it fine from my home PC so I wonder if there is something going on with my laptop.

Here is the HTML I used, warning it is probably sloppy because I didn't hand write it.

Thanks for your help.

I can't seem to replicate the error with that code. Seems to only happen on eBay.

Try removing the height from this code:

<div class="body" style="width: 1244px; height: 729px">

[Mr. LL]

Cool thanks, i'll give that a try.
