Hello raynbo,

To change the overall width of the guestbook entries open the style.css file in an editor.
Find the the section

Code: Select all

div.centered table.entries {
   color : Black;
   font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   font-size: 11px;
   BORDER-RIGHT: #23559C 1px solid;
   BORDER-LEFT: #23559C 1px solid;
   BORDER-TOP: #23559C 1px solid;
   BORDER-BOTTOM: #23559C 1px solid;
   margin: 0px auto 10px auto; /* margin: top right bottom left; */

}

And add a line width: 400px;, you can use your own desired width.
It will now look like (with your own width ofcourse)

Code: Select all

div.centered table.entries {
   color : Black;
   font-family : Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
   font-size: 11px;
   BORDER-RIGHT: #23559C 1px solid;
   BORDER-LEFT: #23559C 1px solid;
   BORDER-TOP: #23559C 1px solid;
   BORDER-BOTTOM: #23559C 1px solid;
   margin: 0px auto 10px auto; /* margin: top right bottom left; */
   width: 400px;
}

to change the width of the comments area you will have to edit the gbook.php file.
The left (Submitted by) part and the right (Comments:) part are defined as percentages of the herefore added width. The standard values are left 35% and right 65%. You can search for these values and change them, each 4 times. Make sure the total remains 100%.

Greetings,
Henrie

PS. Klemen in a new version, could you please make it so that as much as possible layout values (like width of table and cells and text-heights and alignments) are declared in the style.css file?

The edit was to correct a spelling error.
