Topic: Change postleft width?

Hi

I'm wondering if you guys might know how I can change the width of the postleft field.
When someone posts a picture wich are to big, the layout brakes... sad

Here's a screen...

Thats how wide images are supposed to behave. The same goes for unbroken strings of text and stuff inside code tags. Altering the width of the left column won't help you.

Oh yes... that looks ugly.
But in our case its quite good... We have set a rule that says "maxium size for pictures are 640*480"... And if the picture is bigger than that we see it more easy and now the 640*480 pix fits smile

Re: Change postleft width?

Did you ever tried css max-width property?

img {max-width:640px;}

Sometimes it could be handy... wink
But sometimes it wont work in IE... sad

PS. Take a look : http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp? … css_height
