ebay affiliate program

[eMEraLdwPn]

i'm having a problem with the ebay affiliate program... i signed up for it, and i'm trying to set it up using the editor's kit... i made my search box, did the preview for it and everything looked fine... added it to this page: http://www.lyricallysquared.com/viewartist2/Saves-The-Day and it came out entirely spaced out.... no clue why. i tried copying the script src that someone else used on their site and worked properly for them, but that also came out entirely spaced out on my site...

edit: i viewed the page in firefox, where it is REALLY spaced out... in IE it's still spaced out more than it should be, but nowhere near as much as in firefox

I assume you've fixed it? It looks fine to me.

[eMEraLdwPn]

no, it's not fixed, it's just not as obvious in internet explorer... in mozilla it looks like this:
http://www.lyricallysquared.com/ebay.jpg

i changed the script now, and put the ebay code into a separate file: http://www.lyricallysquared.com/ebay.php

that page shows how it looks correctly... then i did a simple <?include("ebay.php");?> on the viewartist2 page, and it stretches out for some reason...

Try getting rid of the class on the <td> tag. Nothing else I can suggest...

How do you join the eBay affiliate program? Can somebody post a link?

[eMEraLdwPn]

yeah, i thought of that too... tried getting rid of the class on the table, the td... nothing fixed it.. it's probably something so stupid, but i can't figure it out

From what I can see theres just too many <tr> in there. Maybe use an alternative way of creating those spaces?

[lz83ny]

thanks abelony. I joined the program but I want to know how to link to a product, does cj let u do this? cuz I can't find it. TIA

[eMEraLdwPn]

where do you see too many <tr>?

<table cellspacing="2" class="inside">
<tr><td class="subhead">Saves The Day Merchandise on Ebay</td></tr>
<tr><td class="inside_1"><script language="JavaScript" src="..."></script></td></tr>
</table>

u can link to a certain product by the flexible link tool at ebay

http://affiliates.ebay.com/tools/linking/

remember when auctions end u have a dead link...

[Xander]

I'm assuming you want this layout (http://hybd.net/ebay.jpg). The javascript file output is producing 3 table row's with spacers <tr> for each one "proper" line.

[eMEraLdwPn]

yes, that is the layout i wanted. what did you change to get it to look like that?

[Xander]

In that pic I took out the 3 <tr> extras between the actual content. Strangely I copied just ebay links again and it seems ok. I'll let you know if I figure out what is wrong.

EDIT: http://hybd.net/tableoutlined.jpg that is what it looked like before I took them out. But when taking out the script contents on its own I got http://hybd.net/table.jpg. So on its own its ok. Puzzling.
