Footer Menu Support Thread

[gsdcypher]

the perils of testing on a wamp server. people can't see what you've moofed up.
i was hoping someone may have experienced it before. i believe (probably incorrectly) it has something to do with the tpl_footer. i can post the code and the stylesheet i am using.

I'm working in the dark here, but if as you say the white space is showing up after your copyright information.

You might want to try moving your google analytics code from the tpl_footer.php and place it in tpl_main_page.php just above the closing </body> tag

hi clyde,

thanks for the reply. unfortunately removing the ga code had no effect on the mysterious white box.

thanks.

[gsdcypher]

when i view source on the blank white box it just says

1 | <HTML></HTML>

thanks

If your using FF install the html validator plugin and see what warnings/errors your getting.

blank, white mystery box still there...

As I said; without actually seeing the site I can't really provide any useful information.

[gsdcypher]

much ado about nothing....
well it appears that the mysterious blank white box is specifically related to the wamp server as after upload it magically disappeared.

thanks for the assist and the great module!

If the above doesn't work you could also try the following:


Define('CONDITIONS','<li><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_CONDITIONS .'#returns') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS . '</a></li>');

Clyde,

Your suggestion worked, Yes!

I just changed BOX_INFORMATION_CONDITIONS to My_Own_Words

Thanks again!
