Resizing your journal tables [Genorator] and [Clean and Simple] styles
This tutorial will deal with resizing your journal tables with the Generator and Clean and Simple system styles.

This ONLY applys if you are using the Generator or Clean and Simple styles.

In your own style
If you have your own style, and you want to move the tables without having to go through and change all the widths, then paste this code into the <head> section of your LASTN_PAGE:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
/* change these numbers, must add up to 95% or less*/
table {
width: 55%;
margin-left: 20%;
margin-right: 20%;
}
/* do NOT change these numbers */
table table {
width: 100%;
margin:0;
}
table table table {
width: 0;
}
-->
</style>



In Overrides
If, however, you don't have your own style, and rely on overrides, then you will want to paste this into your overrides box at http://deadjournal.com/modify.bml:

GLOBAL_HEAD<=
<style type="text/css">
<!--
/* change these numbers, must add up to 95% or less*/
table {
width: 55%;
margin-left: 20%;
margin-right: 20%;
}
/* do NOT change these numbers */
table table {
width: 100%;
margin:0;
}
table table table {
width: 0;
}
-->
</style>
<=GLOBAL_HEAD



N.B. If you have more than one GLOBAL_HEAD override, you will need to merge them. See this FAQ for instructions.


Using the sample code will center the content tables and will make the content tables half the width of the screen. To change the width of the content tables you would change the percentage value highlighted in yellow. To change where on the screen the content tables appear you would change the percentage values highlighted in orange. If these two numbers are equal than your journal content will be centered.

In the above example, to shift the content to the right you would use margin-left: 50% and margin-right: 0; to shift the content to the left you would use margin-right: 50% and margin-left: 0

How do I make the table length shorter? I want it so that the person doesn't have to scroll down the page to read my entries, they can just scroll in a box with all of my entries.

How do you add a different border, like dashed, or double dashed, and if there is such a place or list, can you give me a list of different borders I can use on my journal? (I resized my journal table and I was also wondering if you could just put the code for the different border with it)

would you mind adding a link to the "how do i merge my global head overrides" tutorial, somewhere towards the bottom of this one?

/* change these numbers, must add up to 100% or less*/
table {
width: 50%;
margin-left: 25%;
margin-right: 25%;
}

Is 100% safe? The equivalent tutorial on LiveJournal suggests that they add up to 95% at most. I think I've seen reports that having them add up to 100% causes a horizontal scrollbar to appear sometimes, depending on the browser and the width of the window.
