Header / Banner layout Tagdiv

Hello!

We need help fixing the layout of the banners showing in the header ad code of our newspaper theme.

We use to have just one header ad showing just below the navigation of our website and it was 970×250 but there was a lot of white space on each side so we want to take advantage and now we want to show two ads with the following dimensions:

900×300 on the left, and 600×300 on the right.

We still have some 970×250 ads showing as we slowly transition clients but but for some reason the 900×300 and 600×300 ads aren’t showing level with each other. Example:

homepage with two banners, both have a height of 300 but not displaying correctly

Here is how we set it up:

1. Opened TD Editor
2. Created a new row and made sure it was under the header area so it showed on all pages etc..
3. For the row, under general, we selected the layout to be split in two columns: 7/12 + 5/12
4. We then scrolled down to extra and widened the row to stretch row to 1600

That is all we did for that. We then added an ad box to each column and selected the ad spot to use. Just a note, we use advance ads to rotate our ads.

Any feedback on how we can make that section look nice and work properly would be amazing and greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: So I am silly, I decided to go look in the Header ad code and saw that I had <br> in there which obviously was creating the extra line space. I removed that… and the tops of the banners are now in line, however, the left side banner isn’t in line with the right side banner on the banner despite both banners being 300 in height.

Here is how it looks: https://ibb.co/FzvxNwr

It appears that the left side might be getting squished down a little.

Hi mikevic80, please do a test and set the row with to 1800 width, maybe this will help, at least to get the right dimensions for ads banners.
In case that the problem persist please provide a link to the website so we can take a look.
Thank you!

Hi Calin,

Appreciate the help with this. I switched it to 1800 but it just spaced the banners out a little more (mostly the 900×600). The website is http://www.victoriabuzz.com. I really appreciate the help!

Ok, I just checked the website and your banners have the follow dimensions: – https://i.imgur.com/0mddU8f.png and – https://i.imgur.com/mmKFJEz.png so your banners still not have the right dimensions.
So maybe you can choose a different layout for the row columns, maybe something like this- https://i.imgur.com/92zR4yx.jpeg try those settings – https://i.imgur.com/SN7wcqz.jpeg
