The following code is missing from EditModule.aspx : If Not Me.Page.FindControl("Body") Is Nothing AndAlso _portalSettings.BackgroundFile <> "" Then CType(Me.Page.FindControl("Body"), HtmlGenericControl).Attributes("background") = _portalSettings.UploadDirectory & _portalSettings.BackgroundFile End If So, the editmodule page does not load the site background

I know how it can be fixed .. after spending an hour breaking my head =) You shoud consider shipping the skins with left pane transparent because some users will spend time figuring it out.

I figured out the transparent and thanks to some other postings here I have the width adjusting appropriately (I think). I still have a problem. I have a site background image that repeats and it is obvious that the left pane area has it's background image set as well even though I tried several methods (using the stylesheet) to remove it. I tried this -- I saw this 'noimage' used elsewhere, it didn't work. background-image:url('noimage'); I tried this -- /* background-image:url('noimage'); */ Any suggestions. Thanks

Okay, I lied. The LeftPane width is now too large when I set it to 100%. I want it to use the width I set in the Edit Modules settings. How do I do this?

You can do it through CSS by setting the Width attribute of the LeftPane to the desired fixed width. Another way is to put a Text/Html module in that pane with a spacer image in it that will "hold" the of the cell even if there isn't any other content in that pane. This technique works well to support cross-browser compatabilty because different browsers will render a table cell differently if it doesn't have any actual content in it. I just insert a Text/Html module and title it "placeholder", then turn off the title, and the only line in it is

Hi Loretta, If you don't want a background image then commenting it out or removing it is best because if you leave it in with a non-existent image your server will try to find that image and get a 404 error, it doesn't show up to the user, but it does slow down the page slightly for every 404. I think I answered the LeftPane Width question in the other thread, so let me know if it works for you.

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure that I clearly stated my issue. Pre-CSS Skins, each Tab page could have a different left (and/or right) pane width. Do we lose that functionality with CSS Skins? If not, then how do I specify a different width for one Tab page without it affecting other Tab pages? Thanks, Loretta

If there is a LeftPaneSpacer image in the DesktopDefault.ascx page for the skin like in the original DotNetNuke DesktopDefault.aspx page, then the the width set on the Tab's properties will work the same as before ( same for the right pane with RightPaneSpacer).
