CSS styling help needed
-
I'm hoping that to someone experienced this is a quick fix, but it may be a pain and a rat's nest of code.
Five or so years ago, I designed my brother's website at https://www.argentdata.com/index.html. I built it off of the Mollio theme (http://www.mollio.org/), and used templates in Dreamweaver, so it's not in a CMS. It's not a work of art, and there are some issues with it, but it's served him fairly well. Longer-term it needs a redesign, but right now I'm asking about just one aspect of the existing design.
There are two parts to the site - the plain HTML site, and the osCommerce store that's under the purchase tab. If you go to http://www.argentdata.com/catalog/ you'll see that the osCommerce store is full width, while the navigation header copied over from the main site is 1200 pixels wide and centered. If you're on a wide monitor, it looks weird.
What he'd like to do:
Make the main site align to the left, both the content and navigation, and make the navigation left aligned for the osCommerce portion. He figures this is the easier way to do things, rather than try to muck with osCommerce CSS (that also has some merged CSS from the Mollio theme) and get it to center.
Does anyone have a fairly simple solution that can make the navigation bar look good on osCommerce? Either the above of making everything left aligned, or some other solution simple we haven't thought of?
Thanks!

It looks like he did get what he wanted done for now. Thanks everyone!

Hi Keri,
Just wanted to check on this and make sure you got everything worked out.
Thanks!

Thanks everyone! I'll forward this to my brother and see if that does the trick (then come back and mark helpful answers).

Totally forgot about the index updates! (Gotta learn to finish reading posts.)
Edit "argentdata.com/css/main.css" (changes in italics):
Line 107
#header #site-name a, #header #site-name a:link, #header #site-name a:visited,
#header #site-name a:hover, #header #site-name a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #CCC;
position: relative;
_ left: 100px; _}
Line 111
#nav {
font: bold 96% arial;
height: 2.09em;
margin: 0 105px 0 40px;
position: relative;
_left: 100px; _}
Line 151
#wrap {
min-width: 770px;
max-width:none !important;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative; }
Line 152
#content-wrap {
position: relative;
max-width: 1200px;
_left: 100px; _}
This should match the root pages to the osCommerce pages.

Hi Keri,
This isn't a perfect fix but it should do the trick.
On line 377 of "argentdata.com/catalog/stylesheet.css" change
max-width: 1200px to max-width: none !important
#wrap {
min-width: 770px;
_max-width: none !important; _
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
}
You could also just delete the max-width value altogether, but just in case there's another width value somewhere else... might as well change it.
On line 348 add
position: relative; left: 100px;
#header #site-name a, #header #site-name a:link, #header #site-name a:visited,
#header #site-name a:hover, #header #site-name a:active {
text-decoration: none;
color: #CCC;
_position: relative; _
left: 100px;
}
Same thing on line 352... add** position: relative;left: 100px;**
#nav {
font: bold 96% arial;
height: 2.09em;
font: bold 96% arial;
margin: 0 105px 0 40px;
position: relative;
_ left: 100px;_
}
/* Hope this helps!

Please view the attachment. Is that the result you desire? I am not entirely sure based on the question.
EDIT - actually, I prefer the 2nd image as a solution.
If you like the second image, simply change #wrap margin value to:
margin: 0;
Please note I am not a CSS expert by any means. I simply know enough to get by.

not waht you're asking for, but the fastest solution i can think of.
wrap the os commerce page with a div that is 90% width. give it margin: 0 auto; so that it centers. The tables inside should auto adjust because they are all set to be 100% width.

Help with 302 Temporary Redirect warning via MOZ crawl
Hi Guys, This is my first post so hopefully I'm using the forum correctly. MOZ crawl tells me that I have 35 pages with a temporary redirect The URL column displays 302 Found along with the http:// URL Redirection Location column shows the corresponding https:// URL This all seems pretty self explanatory. However, I’ve checked my .htaccess file and I can’t see any 302 references in it. I'm trying to figure out where the 302 redirects are from and how I can make them permanent Please can anyone help me out? My .htaccess looks like it needs a little tidy (there are 2 if blocks) <ifmodule mod_rewrite.c="">RewriteEngine On

Fixing Render Blocking Javascript and CSS in the Above-the-fold content
We don't have a responsive design site yet, and our mobile site is built through Dudamobile. I know it's not the best, but I'm trying to do whatever we can until we get around to redesigning it. Is there anything I can do about the following Page Speed Insight errors or are they just a function of using Dudamobile? Eliminate render-blocking JavaScript and CSS in above-the-fold content Your page has 3 blocking script resources and 5 blocking CSS resources. This causes a delay in rendering your page.None of the above-the-fold content on your page could be rendered without waiting for the following resources to load. Try to defer or asynchronously load blocking resources, or inline the critical portions of those resources directly in the HTML.Remove render-blocking JavaScript: http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…ckage.min.js?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04 http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…pts/blogs.js?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04 Optimize CSS Delivery of the following: http://fonts.googleapis.com/…:400|Great+Vibes|Signika:400,300,600,700 http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…ont-pack.css?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04 http://mobile.dudamobile.com/…kage.min.css?version=2015-04-02T13:36:04 http://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/kempruge/files/kempruge_0.min.css?v=6 http://irp-cdn.multiscreensite.com/…mpruge/files/kempruge_home_0.min.css?v=6 Thanks for any tips, Ruben

Do I need to 301 redirect www.domain.com/index.html to www.domain.com/ ?
So, interestingly enough, the Moz crawler picked up my index.html file (homepage) and reported duplicate content, of course. But, Google hasn't seemed to index the www.domain.com/index.html version of my homepage, just the www.domain.com version. However, it looks like I do have links going specifically to www.domain.com/index.html and I want to make sure those are getting counted towards my overall domain strength. Is it necessary to 301 redirect in the scenario described above?

Metro style design for a new eCommerce Platform: will it survive?
Hello, While developing eCommerce solution for building webstores in WordPress, our team decided to use metro style design for our dashboard. Could you check the Dashboard screenshot please and discuss several questions with me: How do you think, is it a good idea to use this kind of style? Do you think if there are many people who hate it?:) Should we offer more dashboard designs that can be changed through admin area (may be to offer a standard WP design) or this style will be enough for the start? Thank you very much! Yaros, GosuSell 001_dashboard.jpg

Web Designer Needed
So I feel like I've almost convinced my boss to hire out a re-design for our website (which is SORELY needed.) I'm at the step where I need to start finding quotes and site builders. I want a responsive design site built modern and professional... Love the moz site but not responsive enough. My current favorite example is at www.hasoffers.com Does anybody have any suggestions of where to go? And as a bonus, if anybody is brave enough to ballpark what a site like this would cost that would be awesome. Doesn't have to be exact or even that close... Thanks for any advice given.

I need to buy a website template - anyone knows a good place to buy it? where you should buy one template?
I used the www.templatemonster.com or http://themeforest.net/, but is difficult to find a template with a focus on SEO. Also with the necessity to include text in the beginning of the website, is difficulty to found something really good.
