outline looks ugly

[bastienne]

Hello,
this may be a stupid question as i'm relatively new to webdesign & joomla but I have the following problem:

I display the articles in my sections in blog style layout, four or more leading because I want them all to display and not a bunch of links

The problem is that if the text above the break is short, the 'read more' break doesn't line out to the right (under the print and e-mail icons). If I add an image to the articles displayed, this looks really ugly.

See: www.trecgooi.bmedia.nl
look under the menu items named 'Deelnemers' and 'Bezoekers'

appreciate any tips...

It seems that the, although your 'Read More...' item is aligned to the right within your CSS, the section width is less truncated and is not set to 100%, thus if the text is shorter it will shrunk and move the section end point (which eventually leads your right aligned items to align at that exact point).

What you need to ensure is that the container (a div probably) fills the whole space regardless of its content.

tnx Val.
Another stupid question though: Which file would that container be defined in
(where do I start looking....? I assume I don't have to change the parameter for every new article, there is a template somewhere?)

Hello Bastienne,

The container (div tag) is defined in the index.php file, which resides in your current template's directory:

/path/to/Joomla/templates/your_template/index.php

where /path/to/Joomla is the full path to your Joomla installation and your_template is the actual name of the template that your website is using.
