Howdy.

Anybody have the code to make the Authors Notes writable area wider. I have my notes on a table (click my link to check it out) above the user comments section. I can make the table wider but I can't seem to make the box holding the text wide to match the table.

Any idea?

Thanks!

This:
<!--[AUTHORS_NOTES=400]-->

Increase the value of that number

Thanks ozoneocean!

One other question:

What code do I need to make the font smaller in the author's notes and the comments section.

Thanks again in advance!

There's no way I know to specifically change just that text. The only thing I do is set the CSS properties for all text on the page. This sort of thing between the <head> tags of your page:


<style type="text/css">
p,table,td {
font-family: verdana, arial, 'sans serif';
font-size: 11px;
color: #ffffff;
}
<?style>

Thanks! That worked... somewhat. The font changed but my background became white (instead of black) and now the background color command doesn't respond. It stays white no matter what. I pulled my code from one of the templates in this forum and adjusted it.

My original code and where I inserted the code you gave me:
**********************************************************************************
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>
<!--[COMIC_NAME]-->
:
<!--[PAGE_TITLE]-->
</title>
<meta name="robots" content="All,INDEX,FOLLOW">
<META HTTP-EQUIV='Content-Type' CONTENT='text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://www.drunkduck.com/gfx/css/global.css" />
<style type="text/css">
p,table,td {
font-family: verdana, arial, 'sans serif';
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
}
<?style>
</HEAD>


<!--background define-->

<BODY background="" bgcolor="#000000" bgproperties="fixed" LEFTMARGIN='0' TOPMARGIN='0' MARGINWIDTH='0' MARGINHEIGHT='0' VALIGN='TOP' ALIGN='CENTER'>


<!--Title graphic-->

<CENTER><!--[COMIC_NAME_IMAGE]--></CENTER>
<BR>
******************************************************************************************

Maybe I put the code in the wrong place?

Shoot, I wish I had a secret decoder ring.

Haha... Wierd.

Here's an error by me:

<?style>

That should be </style>

Thanks again, OZ. That did the trick.
