I accomplished this with no problem in joomla 1.0.15...
Now running joomla 1.5.2 on windowsXP professional...
-------------------------------------------------------

I'm trying to set a fixed width of approx 996px
But, no matter what I do it always re-sets to 967px
---

---
I can acheive the desired effect by changing certain
statements in the index.php but... as soon as the
mouse touches the active screen area it re-sets to 967px...

This happens in all browsers & clearing cache has no effect...

Can you please tell me which script or variable
determines the final value of s5_body_container ?

Thanks...
Bob

Sorry about that, it looks like there was a line missing from the index.php file if you add the following into your index.php with the rest of the configuration variables (you will see them about 60 lines down)

$s5_alt_width_type = $this->params->get ("xml_altwidthtype");

then everything will work fine. Just set the slider to "no" so it's not shown and set your alt width.

The template in the download section reflects this change.

No wonder... I knew it had to be something
so simple I was just overlooking it...

I made so many changes to the template that it
was hard to separate the customizing changes from
the changes I made trying to compensate for the
fixed width not holding, so...

Instead of undoing everything, I upgraded to joomla 1.5.3
and started over... seems to be working fine now.

you owe me $1.27 for helping you debug the template LOL...

Thanks Mike,
Bob
