HELP!!! Strange things happening

[Arkwright]

I have just started to set up my first shop with Zen cart and have been using the default classic contemporary green template.

For reasons best known to people much more intelligent than myself, my 'Classic Green' template is no longer classic green????

Here's the url: www.arkwrightandgladys.com

Would appreciate some advice please...

Did you edit the style sheet?
What stylesheet(where from path) did you edit?

It appears that you copied the includes/templates/template_default/css/stylesheet.css and replaced the one at includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css

I could well have done all the things you just said Kobra, I'm not adverse to making a hash of things..

So would it be possible in simple terms to tell me how I resolve the issue?

Thanks

Look at /includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css and compare it with /includes/templates/template_default/css/stylesheet.css. If they are the same, that is your problem. Get a fresh copy of /includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css from a downloaded set of Zen Cart files. The same fix applies if your copy of /includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet.css is missing.

A side note - it looks like you have been using an HTML editor to make up text. They can generate horrendous code if not managed properly. Your tagline shows this:

<div id="taglineWrapper">

      <div id="tagline"><FONT color=#009300 size=7><STRONG><FONT face="Times New Roman">
<P align=center><FONT size=1><FONT color=#3cb371 size=3><FONT size=7>Arkwright &amp; Gladys <FONT size=3><FONT size=1><FONT color=#3cb371 size=3><FONT size=3>Pet</FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT size=1><FONT color=#3cb371><FONT size=3>&nbsp;Supplies - Fishing Tackle &amp; Baits - Floral Sundries - DIY Products</FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT size=1><FONT color=#3cb371></P></FONT></FONT><FONT size=3></FONT></FONT></STRONG></FONT></div>
    </div>

when what you actually need inside the <div id="tagline"> is two <font> tags and possibly a <strong> and <p>. There is a lot of garbage in there now.

Hi Glen

thanks for your reply. I will try and find the file sets you referred to.

With regard the HTML code, yes I have been using an editor of sorts. I wouldn't have a clue how to make things look how I want without one I'm afraid...

Gotta remember that this is not a html application and that indescriminate addition of code (the editor does not know that this is php) will eventually break something.

Keep good backups/copies and track your changes "one at a time" so any issues can be backed out.

The other thing you need to do is shrink your header logo down - it crosses under the nav bar which is why your text describing what you carry is cut off

By 'header logo' do you mean the picture of the 2 dogs or the text to the right of the picture?

Also, why isn't the text cut off in my browser? It looks perfectly fine on my computer.

Many thanks in advance

Unless this is something that has already been fixed, I don't see a problem in Firefox.
There is an extra space above the logo/tagline, probably due to the <p> tag inserted there. Your HTML editor is doing weird things to your PHP files, adding stuff that shouldn't be there. If you post your /includes/templates/classic/tpl_header.php file, *between code tags* like
[php]
your code
[/php],
I will straighten out the extras to give you just what you need for that look.

I would love to post the file you refer to gjh....

Could someone tell me how please?
