I know this is prolly a simple question...

but I cant figuer this out lemme explain...
I recently added a Glow Mod To my site
It didnt work and I had read that
theres a certain Mod U can do to fix it so glow works
and I did it (info copied below)

################################################## ############
## MOD Title: Internet Explorer Glow/Shadow Fix
## MOD Author: Thoul < thoul@phpbbsmith.com > ( Jeremy Rogers ) phpBB Smith
##
## Installation Level: Intermediate
## Installation Time: 2 Minutes
## Files To Edit:
## templates/XXXX/overall_header.tpl
## Included Files: N/A
## License: contrib/license.txt GNU General Public License v2
################################################## ############
## Author Notes:
##
## On some templates, the glow and shadow effects may not work in Internet
## Explorer browsers. If you encounter such behavior, it may be due to the
## Doctype set in the template's overall_header.tpl. This fix will change
## or remove the Doctype in order to enable the glow and shadow.
##
## Be careful in changing or removing the Doctype. The Doctype tells browsers
## how they should read the code of your site. Altering may cause display
## errors. You should thoroughly test the display of your site after altering
## the Doctype.
##
################################################## ############
## BEFORE FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS, YOU SHOULD BACK UP ALL RELATED FILES.
################################################## ############
#
#-----[ OPEN ]--------------------------------------
#
templates/XXXX/overall_header.tpl
#
#-----[ FIND ]--------------------------------------
#
# This code may be different in each template. Generally, it will be the first
# line or two lines in the file and should at least begin with "<!DOCTYPE" and
# contain "XHTML 1.0 Transitional".
#
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
#
#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]--------------------------------------
#
# Making this replacement may result in odd behavior elsewhere in the forum.
# In such a case, try removing the DOCTYPE entirely instead.
#
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
#
#-----[ SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES ]------------------------------------------
#
# EoM



now I did that and glow works only problem is now my banner
at the top of my site is like for lack of a better word almost "repeating"
itself on the left and the right side I dont know how to fix it
I backed up all my files and I could over write the file and
it would look normal BUT i like the glow text mod
I know this is prolly very easy for some...
The only file I edited was "overall_header.tpl"
and the only thing I did was swap out the top line with
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
and the glow works but my banner is ****ed up and
i dont know how to fix it...
go to my site U can see what I mean
Rapmusic.in - Hip Hop Shenanigans - Where Geeks Collide. :: Index
the banner is like repeating at the ends
it wasnt doing that before - how do I fix it?

heres the code from my overall_header.tpl

You aren't using ClanzDarkness as a default theme, please set it to that, or provide a link that has that theme, so we can see it, if the following is incorrect:



Solution:
Make a batter that's wider than the current one.

the behaviour you see is normal.
This is so that smaller screens won't have a distorted site.
But, the downside is, bigger screens see a repeating banner.

Re: I know this is prolly a simple question...

hmm I guess what I find confusing is...
Before the code change it didnt do that (repeat) now it does,
if the wider thing is true why didnt I have to do it before?
I guess thats whats puzzling to me...
So the only way to fix it is to make a wider banner?
theres no code to prevent it for repeating on the sides?
