Hi there!
I've had a Zazzle panel up in my store since the beginning, and like it just fine...however was getting tired of its 'skin' so thought I would switch it to another style.
Well, I can't seem to do it? I can't preview it when made, and when I just published it as couldn't preview it, it showed up just the same as the old one in the store! Plus it seems to be over to the right and almost cut off, and not centered anymore.
Anyone have any ideas to fix this?
Thank you all for any help.

Okay....update...I see now the panel has changed it's skin, must have needed some time to do so! But it's still over to the right, even though the html says center I think...not too up on that stuff. I'd love to move it more central?
Any ideas to help would be appreciated...Grin

If you can post the code for the panel we can better give an answer.

It's because you have the Top Picks widget on your page - it seems to throw things off a bit when you are just editing through the regular store and not using the custom CSS. If you get rid of your Top Picks widget your flash panel will center correctly. (I'm sure there are other ways of dealing with it using CSS but I can't help you with that... sorry - I'm sure someone else can though).

Thanks for the reply malibuitalian....yes, that corrected it! But I would like to know how to fix it without removing the Top Picks?
Anyone? Smile

Ok, do you have the beginning <center> at the start of the code ? If not, add it. Also, you can change the size of the panel by changing the number after the height and width tags. I use width="425" height="275" myself, still large enough to see but small enough to fit most web pages.

Just a side note, the Top Picks is only 3 items, right ? Just add 3 linkable icons centered on the page for the 3 Top Picks you want. Everything will be centered and you'll have you top pick displayed.

Just a warning that having too many Flash thingies on the same page may not be a good idea. It slows loading and can be annoying to some. I know, I'm one of them ;-) Too many things moving on a page is a good way to get rid of me as a visitor.

Thank you FNolan for the help, I'll check on the <center> thing...and thanks for the sizing info, I noticed some people had smaller panels, but didn't know how they did it! :-)
