    a few questions

    Hello, I have a few more question that will help me complete the customization of the cart I am working on. Here is the cart: http://www.modtomodern.com/shop

    1) On the product listing page I would really like to line up the product image, add to cart button, and tell a friend button, and have them all centered under another. I've been playing around with it, but can't figure out what I need to code to make it work.

    2) On the main page, somehow one row of text under the product images is bold, while the next row is not. I have no idea how I did this, but I do not want anything to be bold. How should I remove this?

    3) The birdcage image in the top corner is getting split up in IE. There is a fine line between two parts of the image. In firefox, it works great, and is pieced together perfectly. Does anyone know if there is something I can modify to get rid of those spaces in internet explorer?

    4) When you click on more info in the login page (http://www.modtomodern.com/shop/inde...ain_page=login) the background makes the text unreadable. Can I somehow remove that background on the more info page, but keep it for the rest of the site?

    I think that is it! Hopefully I can find answers to these. Thanks so much!

    A quick tip. It's generally not a good idea to put multiple questions like this in a single post. Post them individually and there are lots of people who will give you quick answers to each one. Post a whole lot in one post and most people browsing, including normally me, will look and decide there's too much to do to answer them all and move on to something easier, or that they can't answe rhtem all, so won't try, or just answer a couple and everybody who pops in later glances sees the answers and thinks that's it all dealt with. Anyway, lecture over let's take a look at your questions anyway.

    Your code (probably in tpl_header.php has lots of lines like this to keep them apart
    <br class="clearBoth" />
    You would need to remove these.

    I haven't seen this before and am not sure how you are producing the table with the products in. But the problem is that the first row doesn't have ordinary <td> cells, but instead <th> header cells for which the default text weight is bold. I would recommend unpicking this and making these <td> instead of <th>, though an alternative solution would be to reset the th font-weight in your stylesheet.

    This only happens in Internet explorer which doesn't like empty divs and sometimes allocates them a bit of space anyway. Your tpl_header file generates the following HTML
    <div class="navMainSearch forward"></div>
    <div align="right"><br class="clearBoth" />
    </div>
    </div>
    <div align="right">
    <!--eof-navigation display-->


    <!--bof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->
    <!--eof-optional categories tabs navigation display-->

    <!--bof-header ezpage links-->
    <!--eof-header ezpage links-->
    </div>
    which includes three nominally empty divs any one of which could be causing this problem. I would change your code to delete all three (but make sure that you retain one closing </div>.

    I couldn't see "more info". There is an info button at the top that links to a non-existant page, and an email link at the bottom, neither of which really fit your description. Am I being particularly dense?

    Finally possible answers to the question you didn't ask - Why is my main page broken in Firefox? This suggests that your content is overflowing the space availabe for it. This is probably due either to you having left the left and right column s on but empty (they should really be turned off completely if empty to avoid confusing browsers (Admin > Configuration > Layout Settings items 14 & 15 from memory) or the same problem with table header cells mentioned for your first question.

    Thanks for your help. I managed to solve all my problems except one, and also the last one you pointed out to me.


    I have no idea why the row is split in firefox. The columns are empty, but I cannot make them 0 or the right and left border go away. Still trying to solve that problem.

    And also, the More Info link only happens when you merge the visitors cart. So if you add a sweater to your cart and the checkout/log in a note comes up that says "Note: Your "Visitors Cart" contents will be merged with your "Members Cart" contents once you have logged on. [More Info]"

    The more info link pops up in a new smaller window and the background image is displayed, making the text unreadable. Any ideas?
