Tables Over Running Using Bordered Backgrounds

2schnauzer · Joined: 25 Jun 2005 Posts: 2 Location: CA

I am creating a template for my ebay listings. Whenever I use a bordered background it looks great in the html editor but when I list it on ebay the top and bottom run over. I have tried putting extra </table> in but it doesn't work. Is there a code I need to stop the background from running outside the tables and below and on top of my listing? Maybe bordered backgrounds can't be used on ebay? Thanks for your help. Rolling Eyes

What is your source code?

It is source code from www.countrymanordesigns.com. It is html with no right click coding and css coding. It is fairly simple but I can't figure out why it is overrunning the format on ebay. Don't know much about this. Here is the actual code that I am using:

~ Description ~
Welcome to my listing for this Beautiful Ivory Peignoir with a Clipped-Chiffon Floral Pattern Fabric. This ivory gown and coat set is very striking. The neckline of the gown is edged with scrumptious looking scallop lace. The shoulders are caressed with spaghetti straps. The sexy slit from the bottom of the gown up 21" plays hide and seek with your sexy legs and is edged again in scallop lace. The scallop lace edging is repeated at the end of the coat's sleeves and the inside neckline and closing edge of the coat. This is truly a beautiful set and would be the perfect gift for yourself or that someone special in your life.

The gown is 52" in length and coat is 53" in length. The material content is 100% nylon and it is machine washable and tumble dry. This lingerie item is Brand New.

**************code stops here

Thanks for your help. I was able to use their source code for another style of listing but when I went to use the border background it just ran over the form. If you want to see it - go to ebay.com and in any of the search fields type in this item no. 5403474510. The only visual you will see is that the picture at the bottom of the listing is outside of my frames that I used and it should not be set inside the format listing. It should be white with no bordered background showing....Thanks for your help, Sharon

When you say bordered background, are you referring to http://thump.net/800927/backgrounds/countrymanordesigns/roseperfume/roseperfume_bgr.jpg image? I really do not see a difference in the two pages (from the one you gave to the ebay one) actually.
