How to Increase the width of a block?

Permalink
I have just started creating my website with Concrete5.At the top of home page I want to place a slideshow but the images are overlapping with the block below.How I can I increase the size of the block so that the images can be accomodated without overlapping?

That really sound more like a css problem. You might have a left floated element so its parent collapses and the block below overlpas. You might want to look into using a clearfix solution.

That sounds like a floated image or container that is not followed by a clearfix. As @mnakalay says, it should probably be solved in css.

Non-css quick hacks that many solve it are to follow the image block with an HTML block containing one of
<div style="clear:both"></div>

or
<div style="clear:both"> </div>

or
<div style="clear:both">&nbsp;</div>


Or you could try inserting the spacer block (free in the marketplace).

Despite the above hacks, a css solution would be cleaner.

I lived to see the day Johnthefish offered a non-clean quick hack to a problem.

The world as we know it came to an end :b

But all jokes set aside, he's right.

Thanks for all replies. I think I was able to solve this problem myself at least partly.Actually my problem started when I tried to accommodate the slideshow in the "Add to Feature" block.It was okay when the same was placed in "Add to Header" just above it.However, the "Add to Feature" block is still there and I do not know what the purpose of the block is and how to delete it.Here is my website that I am developing,http://www.indiavisiting.com
