login boxes in header!?

[joyjoy]

Ahhhh this is making me crazy....

So with the header login add on, when I set the configures for the layout sideboxes as stated in the read me...it's not visible at all. I don't know where it goes.

Right now I've set it to the right column because I don't know what else to do.

The other add on: login box, works fine. The only problem I'm having is that the positioning is changing when the website is viewed with different browsers. Can this be fixed?

Thank you.

You have some misplaced code. The form for the login is directly in #navColumnTwo, without a container or identifier, and its tags are misplaced, making it enclose all of the sideboxes after it.

<form>
  <div>
    <table>
    </table>
    <table>
    </table>
    </form>
  </div>

The </form> is inside the div, so it is not seen as ending the form; the browser ends the form when the div that encloses it (the whole sidebar) closes.

I'm sorry...I don't understand.

I just dropped the add on it. Where do I remove the codes? I looked in my stylesheet but it's not there and by the looks of it, it seems to be html coding? I don't know where to adjust that.

Thank you.

If this is about the login screen that is presently showing on the right column, that's how i received the file, I did not make any modifications.

How do I adjust?

I have both login box mods on the page right now....

is anyone out there that can help.

For the sidebar form, you need to switch the </form> and </div> to </div> and </form>. Then maybe it will behave better.

The sidebox that is positioned in the header is built with <br> tags between all of the elements; if you want that to be horizontally aligned, you will have to edit its file and remove the <br> tags.

Yes I saw your previous note about the <form> and <div> tags. Do you know where i would change this? I have tried in the tpl_login_header.php but it didn't do anything...

So is there no way to set the login box (the one on top in the correct positon) to remain in the proper position when switching browsers?

For example, the links at the top(Home, Login/Register) are set to float right, they don't move. But when i try to float the login box, it gets all weird.

Is there anyone out there that can help me with this??

Thank you!

The login box in the header area is actually located in the sidebar code, so floating would have odd consequences.
You also have various containers set to position: relative, so the right sidebar would currently be the positioning reference for that login box.

Your main page code has errors that will cause unknown problems. The mainWrapper div is closed prematurely by an extra </div>, so the whole contentMainWrapper is outside mainWrapper. Get your HTML to validate and many of your problems may go away.

I appreciate your responses...but most times you don't help me and give vague suggestions. It's like answering my questions with a question. If I understood what you were talking about I would know where to begin to fix this.

Thanks anyway.
