Banners & Forcing Bottom Boxes to Stay In One Place

[cslakans]

Glenn, I did see those sideboxes, but the description sounded like they only could put your own images or links in them and didn't say anything about the banner code being linked to them. I'll check them out. And I'll also search the cloning forum as well. Thanks!

If anyone else reads this thread and has an idea about the SQL query for my page, I'd much appreciate any help.

I might be having unexpected guests over tonight so might not be able to get back to this until tomorrow night. I'll keep this thread posted with my results.

Have a great weekend Glenn!

Hey Glenn (or whoever may respond)

I was able to get the background color and borders for the right boxes to match the left by editing the rules in the css file like you suggested. Thanks! One problem came up after that tho. There is bottom brown corner colors in Subscribe to Email now. Take away the code for the background and the funny brown corners disappear and look normal. Do you have any idea why? Also, do you know where in the css file I change the headers to the sideboxes (ie. one says right1) so they are centered like the left ones?

I decided to go with the Editable Sideboxes since they both looked fairly a like except the Editable gives you the Defines Pages Editor option. I installed the Mod and added a bunch of sideboxes for each side to get ready for the specific page task. I found a thread about this subject a little while ago, so I'm going to read through it and see if it helps. For anyone who might be interested, it's http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...one+banner+box

Oh and the side box header's text color is different between the two side boxes. Probably coding in the same place?!?

It looks like you want the subscribe sidebox to have different colors from the rest of the sideboxes, since there is a heading background rule just for it. There are presumably more box bg rules that you will need to duplicate and edit just for that sidebox. The multiplicity of bg wrappers makes it hard to unravel.

Hi Glenn

I was able to get the subscribe to email, informational boxes (green center column boxes), and the credit card mod (on the left that I recently added) all to stay on the bottom and not float anymore. All went pretty good except for the informational boxes. They are no longer 33% in width. Setting is still that, but it must not be judging the center width the same anymore. I also had problems with some content like if you clicked on subscribe to email and got an error, the text and red box would over flow over the banners on the right. I changed something (can't remember what now) and it fits except there is no padding on the right of the text and left of the banner. Could these two issues be related? Do you know how to fix?

stylesheet.css

.columnCenter {
	padding-bottom: 14em;
}

#navColumnOneWrapper, #navColumnTwoWrapper {
	margin: auto;
	padding-bottom: 14em;
	}

style_new.css

#contentMainWrapper {
	background: url(../images/contentMainWrapper_bg.gif) repeat left top;
	border: 1px solid #afadad;
	border-bottom: 0 none;
	padding: 10px 6px 0 6px;
	position: relative;
	margin:-1px 0 0 0;
	}

.information_blocks {
	font-size: 1.1em;
	padding: 0 0px 0 2px;
	position:absolute;
	bottom: 2.0em;
	}

style_sideboxes.css

#subscribe{
	position: absolute; 
	bottom: 7.0em; 
}

#ccaccept{
	position:absolute;
	bottom: 2.0em;
}

Thanks!

I haven't gotten a response to my post yet so I'm flagging it again. Is there anyone that may know the answer to my problem? Thanks!

You have a bunch of nested tables in the center column, one of which extends over the right column, and I have a feeling those are involved with your problem. Tables respond differently to styling than divs in some cases - I don't use them much so don't know all the differences.

The information block ul and li paddings are also involved, as changing them changes the block width.
There are so many interlocking elements that this could be a nightmare to sort correctly. I would start by getting rid of the nested tables and simplifying the structure as much as possible.
You can use a div with negative right margin to get the top box extension, along with a top padding on #navColumnTwo.

You do have the right column set in admin at 150px, while right column boxes are set at 170px. Harmonize those and see if it helps anything.
