Layout question

**r1formetoo** · 9 Feb 2009, 09:56 PM

I've been making change after change trying to get my categories bar to appear directly underneath my logo for the redline site just as the mower site but nothing gives. It seems my

#categories,#information {margin-top: 0;
float:left;}

just doesn't put those where they need to be, which is aligned to the far left and to the top. Can anyone please help me?

I added

#navColumnOneWrapper {
float:left;}

and it helped but did not solve the problem...

Code:

#headerWrapper { 
  height: 142px;  /* changed from 145px to get rid of tiny gap under logo*/
  }

#navColumnOneWrapper {
  float:left; /*don't need this*/
  }

#navColumnOneWrapper,#navColumnTwoWrapper {
  width: 244px !important;  /*set this in admin & delete from here*/
  }

#navColumnOne,#navColumnTwo {
  background-color:transparent;/*don't need this - it is css default - if #navColumnOne color somewhere else, delete from there*/
  width: 244px !important;/*set this in admin & delete from here*/
  }

Hey Glenn, I've been working to fix another issue that seems like a stylesheet issue. Notice how on my home page there isn't an excessive gap above my main page content but yet when you click on other pages like: the redline stands catalog page, the gallery page, order info page, and so on there is a rather large gap of white space above all my info. I need to figure out why some of my pages have this upper border. I've looked in the define pages editor for inconsistences in code between my home page and the others but I can't seem to see what the difference is. That then led me to my style sheet but again I didn't find anything. Lastly, running a search for "borders" yielded everything in the world other than what I'm looking to solve. So, what do you think?

A good part of that is the <h1> heading which is blank on most pages, but still takes up space. You can add to your stylesheet something like

h1#indexCategoriesHeading, h1#shippingInfoHeading {display: none;}

putting in a selector for each page where you want to hide the h1.

Nice. This brings to mind another good question. How did you know what the selector name of each page was? For instance, I added a h1#PrivacyHeading to do the same for the privacy page but I noticed that that didn't make any changes. I tried "Privacy" non-capitalized too but no luck.

You can see the body id in the Web Developer Information > Display Element Information box when you click any item; or you can "view source" on the page and see the body id near the top:

</head>

<body id="indexHomeBody">

Right, but I noticed that the body id is "pagebody" for both my gallery and faq page. So, when I added h1#pageHeading that didn't do anything. This can't be right because they're the same thing for both pages. I then ran a search in the source code for an h1 statement and bingo, then I found what I was looking for. That got those upper borders cleaned up nicely. Thanks. If you're still up for more good editing have a look at the faq page below. I've tried to add in the code as shown below so that it brings up a pop up but it's not working. Notice how my first pop up link brings up nothing but the next one just opens a new tab or window. I'd like it to open in a pop up. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I plan on doing the same pop up thing for my photo gallery but first I've got to figure out how to make it work.

function openpopup2(){
var popurl="http://www.redlinestands.com/popmotorcyclechart.htm"
winpops=window.open(popurl,"","width=700,height=550,")

</script>
Q: Does my motorcycle accept spools or swingarm sliders? 
A: <a href="javascript:openpopup2()" target="_blank">CLICK
HERE </a> to determine if your motorcycle can accept
spools or sliders. 


Q: Should I use a roller or spool stand with my motorcycle? 
A: Any time that
a motorcycle has factory mounting positions on its swingarm for
spools or sliders, a spool style stand should be used as the spool
stand is the most stable form of stand. <a href="http://www.redlinestands.com/popmotorcyclechart.htm" target="_blank">CLICK HERE</a> to see our
spool fitting chart to determine if you can use a spool stand. 
</li>

<div align="left">Q: Will my particular motorcycle work with a Redline stand? 
A: Any modern
sportbike with a double sided swingarm will work with our rear
stand. The front stand, however, is known to not fit the
Kawasaki Ninja 250 and Suzuki GS500 due to narrow fork width. Front stands to fit these motorcycles are available upon request. A select few motorcycles known only to be the 99-02 Yamaha R6, 98-01 Yamaha R1, Kawasaki Z1000, and Triumph Tiger 1050 have forks which are not equal in length. This in turn causes the front stand to sit slightly turned to the rider's left while holding the bike. From our testing this does not affect stability at all. All other common
sportbikes such as the ZXR, GSXR, CBR, and Yamaha R6/R1 line
of motorcycles are certain to fit a Redline stand. Please see
our gallery by clicking here to see if your motorcycle is already
pictured on our stand(s). 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: How can I save money on ordering a set of Redline stands? 
A: Because shipping
on large heavy objects is expensive, you can save $10 per set
of stands by finding a friend who also wants to order a pair.
By combining the shipping and placing 4 stands to a box versus
2, you will save $10 on the overall cost per set. It is rare but we occasionally have blem stands for sale at discounts so call us if you don't mind a scratch in exchange for a discount. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: What warranty is there on the stands? 
A: Our warranty
is a no gimmick lifetime warranty. If you order our stands and
are not satisfied with them they can be returned for a full
refund. The stands are warrantied for life against structural
failure despite any proof of purchase. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: What is the difference between the Industrial and Commercial stands? 
A: There are 3 differences. First, the Industrial series costs $12.50 extra per stand. Second, the Industrial series stands are equipped with dually wheels on each side, where as the Commercial stands have single wheels on each side. Lastly, we weld a 10 inch long extension handle onto the Industrial stands for extra leverage and then we slide on a rubber grip. This is particularly handy on heavy bikes like the ZX12, ZX14, and Hayabusa where extra leverage is a big plus. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: Is the rear stand adjustable? 
A: Yes, the rear
stand can be adjusted in width to fit any modern sportbike. Extra wide stands are also available for customers with aftermarket swingarms. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: How does the front stand attach to the motorcycle? 
A: The front stand
uses two 5/16’s prongs that insert into the holes in the
very bottom of the forks. This keeps the forks from sliding
off the head of the stand. The forks simply rest on the head
of the stand. Absolutely no adapters such as spools or sliders are
used on the front stand. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: Is the front stand adjustable? 
A: No, there is
no need to adjust the stand as nearly all common sportbike manufacturers
space the holes in the bottom of the forks exactly 8.125 inches
from center to center. See question 3 for an exception to this rule. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: Can the motorcycle be moved while on the stands? 
A: It is not recommended
to move the motorcycle while sitting on our stationary stands,
however, our swivel series stand is able to move 360 degrees
in any direction while on the stand(s). 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: Why purchase a front stand too? 
A: There are several
reasons. Having a front stand will allow you to store the bike
completely off the ground during the winter and will alleviate
all possibility of flat spotting expensive tires and ruining
them. The front stand also eases cleaning the wheels as you
can simply roll the wheels and clean them without ever moving
the motorcycle. Most importantly, if you intend to replace your
own tires you will have the ability to remove both tires and
take them to the dealership for tire mounting. This will save
you ~$50 each time you replace your tires by doing it yourself and
it will also allow you to keep your bike at home and not have to
drop it off at the dealership overnight. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: What good is it to own a set of sportbike stands? 
A: There are several
reasons. It will allow you to change your oil much more easily,
as is all other standard maintenance and cleaning. They aid
in preventing flat spots on expensive tires during extended
storage. Stands aid in chain adjusting and most importantly
in wheel removal. If you intend to replace your own tires you
will have the ability to remove both tires and take them to
the dealership for tire mounting. This will save
you ~$50 each time you replace your tires by doing it yourself and
it will also allow you to keep your bike at home and not have to
drop it off at the dealership overnight. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: What are the stands made of? 
A: They are made
of 11 gauge steel. That means the steel composing of
the frame is over 1/8 inch thick! Weighing in at 15 pounds each,
our stands are certain to be far more structurally strong than
is necessary. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: I have a custom swingarm, now what? 
A: Don't sweat it; Redline Engineering is the only known stand manufacturer that will custom make a stand to fit your extra wide/extended swingarm. It's best to call us concerning these matters. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: What is the difference between spool and roller feet? 
A: Please <a href="http://www.redlinestands.com/popspoolrollerexp.htm" target="_blank">CLICK
HERE</a> for a detailed explanation including pictures. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: How do I know Redline Engineering isn’t here today
and gone tomorrow? 
A: With well over
5,600 stands sold around the world since being founded in 2001,
we have been making sportbike stands for quite a while and we
intend to be here much longer. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: Can someone get on the motorcycle while sitting on a
set of Redline stands? 
A: Yes, this is
only recommended with a spool style stand and the motorcycle
will be plenty stable for at least 2 adults to board the machine
while in the air. 
</div>

<div align="left">Q: Can I run the engine while on the stand(s)? 
A: Yes, again
this is only advised when using a spool style stand.</div>

I may have figured it out. I dunno.
