Hello.

First of all, I just wanted to show off my newest profile that I made for my mule account.

Opinions would be much appreciated! ^^

Anyways, I've run into a slight problem when putting the profile onto my mule account....

I have the profile working and everything, but I am trying to figure out a way to make the profile cover the entire profile, not just cover a smal portion of the center of the profile.

I took the regular profile coding and tried to tweak it to my fitting. I was able to get it for the most part, but there are still some blank spaces around the left, right , and bottom of the profile.

Here is the coding after I tweaked it:


html, body { background: none; }
.column, #columns { overflow: visible !important; }
#columns #columns { width: 1000px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; float: none; position: relative; top: 50px; }
#column_1, #column_2, #column_3
.media_panel { height: 775px !important; width: 1350px; overflow: hidden; }
.media_panel embed, .media_panel object { height: 1225px; width: 1225px; }
.panel { margin: 0; padding: 0; background: transparent; }
.panel h2 { display: none; }


Doesn't anyone know how I can fix this, or even have something that might work?

If someone would just let me know how to remove all the blank spaces, I would be able to re-size the media to my fitting from there. I think that if someone can let me know how to get rid of the blank space on the left space, the other two side I may be able to get on my own.

Please and thank you!

The problem with using static numbers like that is that it will not fit correctly on all monitors.
(ie: on 1024x768, the non-wide smallish standard size, that would be quite a bit too big)
There are ways to dynamically set sizes, but I can't remember if I ever got them to work with Wix.
Some of the issues were profile compatibility (current v classic) and white-box issues.

The most important thing to remember here is that your Wix has a set ratio of content width to height. So content width and height will always be proportional, even if you define with your CSS, say the width to be much much greater than the height. (the extra width will be filled with white) This helps prevent awkward stretching of images and stuff. Not all monitors will have the same ratio as the profile, so no matter what you do, some people will see white on the side or top (usually the side with widescreen).

When I get a bit of time from my classwork, I'll poke the old full-screen-flash CSS I wrote once. I seem to remember it working far better on classic profiles, which didn't agree with Wix at the time, so I'll have to see what I can manage.
If some of that made no sense, I'd be happy to re-word/clarify.
