I am using a standard DNN 4.02 fixed skin and I never know how wide my center  pane will be. The modules seem to conspire against me, determining their own widths. How can I control the pane widths and keep them for resizing?

Thanks all.

put a fixed width into the css file .contentpane-

It is set at 100% to expand when you don't have conent in right or left pane, but if you were to set width on all those elements you would be able to control it.

Thanks for the reply. Several things. I do everything on the web host's servers, so I don't do anything on my local computer. I was hoping for an easy solution but it sounds like there isn't one.

As for the panes resizing themselves, it is obvoius what happens when there is nothing in the right pane. My problems are:

1) I have pages that are identical, but one will come out with the center pane (an therefore the entire page) wider.

2) At times, a given page will have one width (fits completely on the screen), and at other times, without any changes, display with a different width (right edge of center pane about at right edge of screen).

It all seems so unpredictable. I thought my fixed width skin (standard DNN) would prevent the pages from going off to the right.

Frustrated.

David, the skin you are using is set for 770 pixels width, but your bottom banner graphic is 809 pixels wide. 
This precludes a smooth html table layout. If you want to stick with the default skin, try the 100% width version.

David...

If you are talking about your "Registration/Profile" page, it seems that the width of the "Time Zone" dropdown is causing the width to expand beyond the "standard" width of the fixed width skin.  There is one entry in the "Time Zone" drop down that needs the full with for displaying all its text.  You probably already thought of this but you could remove the content from the right pane thus eliminating the right pane. That may gain you enough width so that page doesn't expand.  Other than that, you may want to investigate possibly editing the text on that long Time Zone so it doesn't make the dropdown go so wide.  I'm not sure where the program is pulling the time zones from -- I looked through the database but the Time Zones don't seem to be stored there.

I hope this helps.
