Overly wide infobox

is there a way to copyedit the article or must the infobox occupy the entire width of my browser? -- 70.51.46.146 (talk) 07:05, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@70.51.46.146:} Yes: the ImageSize field of the {{chembox}} governs the size of the image, I stuck that to 1px on a test edit and that pulled it in> But what seems to make it really spiel is the IUPACName; there is one <br> in there but it is still very long and I think that is what is governing the width. (I am on 1280px wide). I've played around but not with much satisfaction, I got it quite short but although I did molecular modeling for some years; I am not sure whether it is better to split before or after the hyphens in the formula.Si Trew (talk) 11:39, 20 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's the SMILES or InChi sections... Ideally the infobox should work at no more than 50% of main page section (minus the sidenavbar) on a tablet computer held vertically. -- 70.51.46.146 (talk) 05:55, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could be... we have to split that long formula somehow to reduce it, in all the fields then. On my screen it was not that large, so it was hard for me to test edit. I made a few test edits but mostly I would guess (without getting out my micrometer) it was about 30%, but obviously something is iffy since I don't doubt you are sincere. Is it different browsers? I tested on Firefox. Si Trew (talk) 21:27, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I missed that comment. At 768 × 1366 or 800 × 1200 (a tablet held vertically) the width of the infobox is extreme. (My IP has rotated) -- 65.94.171.225 (talk) 08:12, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
