Third column on top of second column, other things disappeared off page

**violetlinnie** · 30 Apr 2013, 10:34 AM

I've never had any problem with my site and it was working at least 2 weeks ago. At that time I added two new banners with google ads in them. It all worked fine and they have had over 2000 views apparently.

Today I clicked on the page here:
http://askingangels.com/jewellery

You can see the problem visually all wonky, and the text I had in the define main page is gone completely. Also the top of the middle column is missing, what a mess. How can I go about fixing this and what do you supposed caused this problem.

Thanks!

You have appear to have nested head and body tags that shouldn't be there.

PHP Code:


<div id="indexDefaultMainContent" class="content"><html>
<head>
  <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
 http-equiv="content-type">
  <title>mainpage</title>
</head>
<body
 style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"
 alink="#ccffff" link="white" vlink="#ffcccc">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">.<br>
</div>
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><br>

What editor are you using to write this?

I used Kompozer, which I no longer use.

I deleted the code from the define main page to test already and that is not affecting the page, it still has columns on top of each other etc.

Nope the code is still there.
Have a look in the "view source"
Are you editing the file in your overide folder?

Yes I tested without the code, same problem, so I put it back again.
I haven't edited any code in months except new banners, all has been fine without errors - but my page went crazy sometime in the last two weeks, which I only just discovered. I am most concered about the columns on top of each other and the missing part of that page that has just gone.

Okay I've removed it, it was only temporary as I want to put in a banner at some point at the top.

In FF it shows the text for that area and that is the problem.
What files are you editing?
With what editor?
What directory are you putting them it?

I removed the code just now using ZC admin but the problem still seems to be there.

In index_home.css, you've moved the center column up using negative margin (rule below), but you've left the sideboxes behind. Try setting the placement using #contentMainWrapper instead. You'll have to fiddle with margin and maybe padding a little.

.centerColumn {width:600px;/*position:relative;top:-309px;*/;margin-top:-309px;}
