Center Box Run-Off

[Lnhartman]

I have the newest update of Zencart installed. I am having problems with my product listings and shopping cart items running off the page. This problem only presents itself in IE. Mozilla displays perfectly. I found that if I switch the product price to display just after the image and before the title, the run off is prevented on my product listings in IE. However, I have been unable to find a solution for the shopping cart display. The remove item button is barely displaying. I appreciate any help that you can offer.

My site is

www.lulusgroove.com/catalogue

Again, I am currently using the work around for the product listing run-off. If anyone prefers to see the problem on the product listings, I will switch the order. To view the shopping cart item listings, pick any product, add it to the cart, and then view the shopping cart at the top of the page (I'm sure you all probably know that, but just in case).

Thanks a Bunch,
Lindsey

notice you're using custom which is good

Would like to see the source with the problem in effect.

Comin right up!

Ok, the product listing has been changed and the run-off is in effect, but only in IE. Mozilla looks fine no matter what. Thanks!

got to be a stylesheet problem.

Probably something in indexProductList that Mozilla doesn't respond to but IE does. Or... Vice Versa. Might also be in the listCell settings.

Get the web developer add in for Mozilla and, under information, click on Display Anchors. That will show you the possible classes to check.

I already have the developer's toolbar for Firefox. I see what you are saying regarding the listcells, but I can't find a place in the stylesheet to play with them. I was also unable to find the indexproductlist. Can anyone suggest where I should look? or have any other ideas?
Thanks Again,

Just an FYI note: the stylesheet.css file does not contain each and every ID/class used/listed in the template files. If you find one and it isn't in the stylesheet you can add it and style it the way you want.

Slept late here in Texas

The interesting thing is that our http://www.gomagnetic.com works without the firefox overrun and, without looking at ours and "Lulu's" with something like WinMerge, we might not find the difference.

Have you tried comparing your stylesheets in the custom directory to those in the full 1.3.01 download?

Ok, I feel a little progress beginning. But, in the mean time, I have run into some weird stuff. By the way dbltoe, I so appreciate your helping me. I think I should state that everything I have learned when dealing with Zencart is from trial and error experimentation and from a little help here and there. I have a very small knowledge base when it comes to code, and therefore, sometimes I need things explained to me as if I were a 2 year old.

I noticed in your last reply dbltoe, that you mentioned that your site didn't have an overrun in Firefox. I don't know if you meant IE, because that's where I am having the overrun issue, not Firefox/Mozilla. I just wanted to avoid confusion.

I visited www.gomagnetic.com to see if I could do a comparison. I looks like you built your custom template based on the classic template, not the template default like I did. Now, I changed my template selection to the classic template, and saw NO overrun issues in either browser. Problem is, I hate the classic template and don't want to use it. So, I switched back. Next problem, I have no idea how to compare the two to find the difference. I don't know what I would be looking for either considering there will be a large amount of differences all over the place. Nor do I know if a comparison would be in anyway useful.

When I switched back to my custom template, I noticed that the product listing overrun wasn't happening in one of my categories
http://www.lulusgroove.com/catalogue...cPath=65_66_68
But is still an issue in the others. Taking this one as an example
http://www.lulusgroove.com/catalogue...ex&cPath=78_99
I found that to be a bit weird. I have tried altering product title length, but that doesn't effect the run-off. Shopping cart is still an issue no matter what.

And, as if I needed another problem, IE is also forcing my category pictures differently than Firefox. If I only have 2 subcategories, IE forces the pictures one on top of the other, not side by side like Firefox (the preferred way of course).
Example - http://www.lulusgroove.com/catalogue...index&cPath=94
Now this really isn't a big deal, because I am still loading product, and eventually I will have more then 2 subs, but I thought I would mention it in case there was a tie-in to the other issues, and it would offer a clue or two.

Another kind soul, said that I could add the list cell info to the stylesheet. How would I go about doing that? I thought if I could add it, I could define how wide I want that particular cell to be thus eliminating runoff.

Lastly, what is this Winmerge you speak of? What does it do? Where do I get it?

Thanks a Million,
Lindsey

Thanks for the flowers. I switched from OSC to Zen in 2004 and, if you learn from your mistakes, I've done a lot of earning. I'm not able to donate monetarily like I would want to to the Zen team so, I try to help where I can. Ajeh, DrByte, et al have been very patient with me over the years and I try my best to return the favor.

WinMerge is a freebie that I use a lot! You can find it at http://winmerge.sourceforge.net/. It's invaluable to me in the fact that I have about 12 different Zen sites in various stages of disarray and need to often compare files.

You sound like you may not have changed anything with the stylesheet but, it might be a good idea to download the winmerge and compare files between your custom and the 1.3.01 full set. As noted throughout the forum, FTP can do strange things to files.

Let me know how it turns out.
