I'm trying to line up 2 columns of info inside the long description box by typing in blanks (space bar) to make the 2nd column line up vertically. However, when I preview my text, all the blanks are gone and there is just one space between the 2 columns of info.
Am I missing something simple? I'm attaching 2 text files to show what I see in SCC Pro software, & another as it appears in preview mode or live off the website.
We don't have the real shop up yet, but we do have our motorcycle listed on there and I pasted the same file attached to the page at this link.

Thanks for any advice.

It looks lined up to me. Is it fixed?

Hi Philosopher.
No, I'm still not having any luck. I'm trying to leave enough spaces between the 2 columns to make the left column be left justified within the box, and the right column be right justified. What I wind up with in both preview mode and live on the website is this:

When I "preview" my work on the pc, and when I upload it to the website, all the spaces between the "size" column and the "stitch count" column disappear except for one space.
Thanks.

Ok, I think I know what you are trying to do. So, on your page you want a total of three columns, with the left column being for the product image. This means you are trying to have two columns in the description area. (Am I right so far)?

This is not an easy task, but not impossible.

The best thing to do for your content is to create it fully as html, in like an html editor. From there, you can use the html tool that the cart program has and insert the html (make sure you include all of your styles and stuff as well.)

Do you know how to code in html and css?

In order to enter more than 1 space you need to use the HTML space symbols which you need to insert for adding spaces as HTML will only accept one spacebar created space and ignores any others after that. To add extra spaces other than that one you need to insert HTML using the HTML tool and the code would be:



You would enter that exact code above for each space you want between words/images/etc.

Hope that helps

Thanks Philosopher & Jo Ann. No, I don't know any html yet......well, actually I know one command now
I tried your suggestion Jo Ann, and that works. It takes a lot of them to line the columns up, but it works.
Thanks again you guys. Have a good weekend.

Yes, html ignores white space. You can use &nbsp; or you can line up all the text you want into a <pre> tag.

I like this idea myself, of lining up the text in the description area.

I could see this tag would be faster, and appreciate the information Tom, but how does it decide exactly where it will align the text? Thanks.

It displays the text just as you type it, including the white space.

Play around with it and see for yourself.

Thanks Tom. That is a much faster solution. I have been putting full stops where I want spaces, more so for paragraph spacing larger than the text size, and then using Color Schemer on my background to match them so they are invisible.

Do I insert this tag using the inbuilt HTML tool? I'm guessing I do but clarification is always nice when you're a newbie at tags.

Thanks again. Your brains are always getting picked.
