Hi
why is the format of the google add on the left side wrong. it should
be 120*90 and be a linkblock with 5 links. But it takes the format of
above 125*125.

Just a hint: try to reformulate your question, so anybody can understand
it. Choose a subject more specific than just "google". Try to use
correct English grammar and spelling, write full sentences. Maybe that
will improve the number of people which do not just ignore your post...

I probably should add that theres above this google add another one
embedded in JS (only visible with IE) and i suppose its getting the
format from there?
Look at the source and maybe you can help? Thanks

<iframe name="google_ads_frame"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.co...amp;u_java=true&amp;u_nplug=24&amp;u_nmime=99"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0"
allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="125" scrolling="no"
width="125">

Looks like the size is in the iframe.
Did you write that code, or did Google provide it?

Yes, the problem lies in the size definition in the frame - Google
Adsense would not have provided this for a 120x90 advert so you must
have copied it from somewhere else. However, I only see 3 Google ads
on both Internet Explorer and Opera - which one is wrong as they all
appear fine (there is one on each side and one at the bottom).

On another note - the shadow for your title is too bold - it is hard to
actually read the name of the site. The white links in the grey boxes
(post news) are also very hard to read.

Also, why the popup to say that it is not compatible with Internet
Explorer - the front page at least, seems to display the same on IE as
under Opera (except for a minor thing with the 4th item in post news
which displays the top of a line of text).

Oh maybe it is when you enter the shop - that comes out completely
different in IE from the front page - plain black text on white paper
in a separate window. It doesn't even open under Opera v9 here.

Hi Rich
The left Advertisement Box is 125*125 but
should be 120*90 as a linkBox.
The code should be originally copied as from google.
IE should be compatible :) but as a linux site i think i can have
that and maybe someone clicks on the add...Need to try Opera
then.
Thanks

where should that code be? I can't find it on my page...

That's weird - if I just do a view source, and do a search for 125,
there is piece of Google JavaScript that states 125 height and width.
It's inside the first bit of google script, line nr. 138-140.
But there is no iframe.

However, if I just look at the page and go to the block that says
"Advertisement", and select that entire block (with the Google ad in
it), and then right click and do a view selection source (in Firefox),
I get a DOM-source of selection, which clearly shows an iframe.
I'd say something in your JavaScript somewhere generates that iframe,
and it's 125x125 px, just like the Google ad.

I guess the one at the right - it's the only one which seems to be
square (125*125).
On another note - the shadow for your title is too bold - it is hard to

Just a question: who pays money for spreading FF? Not that I don't like
the idea of suggesting the user to use FF, but the reasons why someone
should use it are - let's say a bit strange.

|| - Firefox blocks pop-up windows.

IE can do this, too (Google toolbar for example). You just have to know how.

|| - It's more secure against viruses and spyware.

OK, right in this point.

|| - It keeps Microsoft from controlling the future of the internet.

Do you really believe that anybody really can /control/ the internet?
Sounds like a bit of propaganda.

|| - It's better for web designers and developers.

And almost everybody who visit your site is web designer? I guess most
web designers already use FF or Opera (or any other browser, but no IE).

|| - Features like tabbed browsing make reading webpages easier

Tabs improve readability? Yes, they are a good invention and might make
surfing easier, but the readability?
Oh maybe it is when you enter the shop - that comes out completely
different in IE from the front page - plain black text on white paper
in a separate window.

Its plain black text in FF, too.
>It doesn't even open under Opera v9 here.

Use Firefox than:
|| -Firefox blocks pop-up windows.
|| - It's more secure against viruses and spyware.
|| - It keeps Microsoft from controlling the future of the internet.
|| - It's better for web designers and developers.
|| - Features like tabbed browsing make reading webpages easier
-seems to be the only browser which can view the site properly

<g>



BTW: it's not a good idea to code a website only for a single browser
(FF). Still IE is the most used browser in the world (awful enough), so
your site should be usable with it. And Opera, too, is used by many
people, so make your site work with it. At least this three browsers
should be able to open and display your site. And I suppose almost all
other browser can view it correct if these three can.

I guess some google script does that. But it might be necessary to show
the add: how else would you show content from a different domain on your
page?

I am at a loss here - there are 3 google ads on the site - one 125x125
on the left hand side, one 120x600 on the right hand side and one 468x
60 at the bottom. All 3 display as coded on IE v7 and Opera v9 and if
the one on the left hand side were changed to 120x600, it would push
everything on the left hand side too far down the page to keep it
balanced.

However, if the author wants a 120x600 banner on the left hand side (as
well as on the right), then simply alter the code. The HTML giving the
problem is:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-8189704777307305";
google_ad_width = 125;
google_ad_height = 125;
google_ad_format = "125x125_as_rimg";
google_cpa_choice = "CAAQ-YOy0QEaCBJ_cFqMCYHjKK2293M";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Simply replace the google_ad_width, google_ad_height and
google_ad_format settings to (as per the one on the right hand side):

google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";

OK so going back into Google AdSense and asking for a 5 line link box
120x90 you get completely different code to what has been used on the
page. The HTML giving the
problem is:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-8189704777307305";
google_ad_width = 125;
google_ad_height = 125;
google_ad_format = "125x125_as_rimg";
google_cpa_choice = "CAAQ-YOy0QEaCBJ_cFqMCYHjKK2293M";
//--></script>

Simply replace the google_ad_width, google_ad_height and
google_ad_format settings to:

google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "120x90_0ads_al_s";

Hi
the format 125*125 is for the IE ONLY add. this does not show in FF at all
and also in IE you click it
away. Then in the main page on the left box the googel should be 120*90 but
it takes the previous format, at least in parts.
Els you might be right...i search for that iframe thing.
Cheers Michael

Ah right - sorry I did not realise that. I can see the code for the
120*90 box in Opera (as well as the code for the 125x125 box) and I
have spotted the errror (methinks)!!.

Your code is:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--google_ad_client =
"pub-8189704777307305"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "120x90_0ads_al_s"; google_ad_channel ="";
//--></script> <script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script></p>

Anyone else spot this??

<!--google_ad_client (etc) is missing a vital space - it should be:
<!-- google_ad_client (etc)
