Hidden object makes page wider than it should be?

**jimhanus** · 26 April 2018, 02:22 PM

I've run into this before, where a hidden or shared object is on the pasteboard and makes the page wider than it's supposed to be. My usual method to find one is to go to Outline mode and it usually shows up, but not this time. I've spent many hours trying to find this one without luck. The site is http://tummypillow.com/index.htm and the problem shows up worst in the 480px version. An extra space is on the right side of the page, taking up about 1/3 of a phone screen. It also shows up on the full size version but isn't critical. It's only a 2 page site, and it's visible on both 480px pages, but only on the home page of the full size version. I've removed most objects from the site without luck. Has anyone had good luck or another method in finding this elusive file/property that causes this problem?
Thanks!
Jim

You might try expanding all layers and click down the objects one by one and see if something shows up that way. Or clear the pasteboard background.

Tried that. Went through each layer one by one. Deleted everything on the pasteboard from every page and layer.

I don't do web - but in a drawing file I would make a copy of the file and then delete each object one by one until the problem went away and then I would know where the issue lay..

Jim, you have a pink background image that is 966px by 33px that might be the culprit.

OK, I found it. Like I had said, I tried most everything including deleting entire pages to see which one was the culprit. I went back and again started deleting objects until I found it. I had been focusing on bitmaps and it turns out it was a single line of text. No idea why or what was unique about it. There were several of them on the 3 problem pages. It didn't look any different than the others, and was centered in the page. Oh well, moving on!
Thanks!
