Extend background on homepage

[KRISTINVELLA]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to extend the homepages background. Please go tohttp://redroseinvitations.com.au/store/ and scroll down to the bottom and you see a grey background, that comes in half way through the homepage. I would like to extend the white one, so it covers everything on the page. 

Thanks 
Kristin

I do not know this skin, It's the Vanilla skin, so I hope you can find the HTML. It may be in a template, it may be in the HomePage document.

We start with the <div id="announcement"> block.

Within that, there is the <div id="slideshow"> block.

Within that, there is a bunch of <div> blocks that is the actual slideshow, but there is also a <table> and a bunch of <p> paragraphs.

I think you did not intend to put the table and paragraphs in the slideshow div. But working on what is actually there, you need to make the slideshow div be as high as all that stuff in the slideshow div wants to be. In common.css, line 1068, comment out the height parameter:

/* height: 350px; */

But I think you actually do NOT want all that stuff in with the slideshow. So, after you fix that, let us know.

Thanks Brian,

I cant find this document. I didnt design any of this and paid people to do it all at different stages. It was all ok, then I was having hosting problems and after, my hosting provider looked at it, my shipping module disappeared, so then Al fixed it and now I have these problems, every time someone looks at something, something else disappears. 

I dont know much about web design, so just was wondering if I could fix these myself, so something else doesnt go wrong. Any text I add at the top of the homepage doesnt appear and I dont even know how long Ive had that problem for. The people that are paid to work on my website, put everything in different files, not in the right ones, because they later tell me they dont know cubecart. 

I asked Al for help and he told me I had to buy more credits, because its a new problem. 

I will keep trying to find this HTML.

Thanks.

If it's the Homepage document, then go to admin, Documents. In the list of documents, find the one that is indicated to be the HomePage document. It's probably called "Invitations". Click on the Edit action icon.

Now, on the Content tab, switch the editor to Source mode.

The first three lines you should see are:

<h2>
	Buy invitations online</h2>
<div id="slideshow">

About twelve lines later, you should see this:

		<img alt="Invitation RSVP special" img="" src="images/source/Sliders/RSVP_plain.png" style="width: 700px; height: 350px;" /></div>
	<div>
		&nbsp;</div>
	<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="535">

In that block of code, on a new blank line above the <table> line, please add </div>. (This may need to be repositioned if the slide show has a blank slide.)

Now scroll to the bottom of the code. You should see:

	<p>
		&nbsp;</p>
</div>

In that block of code, please remove the </div>.

Save this document.

See what it looks like on the storefront.
