Greybox issues

Post by Chroelle »

I am having a slight problem with greybox. I am hoping that someone can help me out. It seems the close button is too far to the right, and since I know little to nothing about CSS, I am having issues with it showing off of the screen and thus making it hard for people to notice how they can shut donw the box, where pictures are shown in. Can anyone help me out here? I can send you the files I use if that is helpful.

See an example here:

Clikc a picture and see what happens.
I am using a resolution of 1024x768. But I am not sure that has any effect on the issue.

I followed the link and there were absolutly no problems with the photos for me (resolution 1024x768 as well)...

P.S.: Photos reminded me that you are still waiting for my translation for the website. Hope you can wait for 2-3 days more. It's nearly done, but I'm feeling a bit ill today and so I'm in no mood to do things I have to concentrate on. :(

The problem is that the close button is shown just a little off screen. It would be cool if I could make that navigation line just an inch shorter.

Problem still doesn't appear for me. The close button is just where it should be (maybe because I have a widescreen monitor?)...

Doesn't appear to me either, the close button is completely on screen. No matter how small or big I make my browser's (Safari) window.

Works fine with Firefox, but with IE the close box is out-of-screen. Crappy thing.

Hm.. That is the problem. I have IE and so does alot of the visitors of that site. Anyone has an idea how I can cut down the length of that thing?

I found this:
Instead, to fix the issue, I just altered the gb_styles.css file. On
line 62 (under .GB_header table), I changed the width from 100% to 96%,
and it brings the close button in enough to keep it on the page, and
eliminate the horizontal scroll. It now looks like this:

.GB_header table {
margin: 0;
width: 96%;
border-collapse: collapse;
The rest of the page which I quoted is unreadable for me :/
