    Default Re: Help repositioning left column

    It does work in Firefox, but I haven't checked other browsers...
    In this very minimalist layout, there are no extra backgrounds to interfere with anything.

    If you want the logo centered oin the remaining space, giving #logoWrapper a margin-left of 160px and width 100%, and then #logo a margin: auto should do it. I haven't tested those yet on your site.

    On testing, it looks like a simple

    #logoWrapper { margin-left: 160px;}

    (along with the existing specs) does the whole job of getting the logo centered in the remaining space.

    And there is actually a background-color for #logoWrapper, even though it is not needed.

    Thank you both, I like the new layout much better. Also learned something new with the z-index thing. I'm actually still at the HTML section at w3schools.

    Default Re: Help repositioning left column

    Ok got a new problem. I'm assuming most people here are using Firefox as I am. But after doing the margin thing as suggested above, my page loads incorrectly in IE...

    In an ideal world everyone would use everything but IE... But since this is the real world, can someone lend me a hand and let me know what I can do to make sure my website loads for IE and Firefox?

    Thank you,

    I just wanted to add that I've toyed around with the z-index and it doesn't seem to be working either. Kinda bummed now.

    Unfortunately it looks as though z-indeces won't fix this one. It seems that IE is taking the view that table information can't be relocated outside of the table.

    Safari has a slightly different twist. It allows the information to show until you scroll down the page and then back up again. When you return the top of the left column is missing in the same way as it is from the outset in IE.

    I rather suspect that there is no way to resolve this. It's simply the way that IE (and I guess Safari too) are going to interpret your escaping data. The only option that I can suggest therefore is to direct your attention back to the approach I proposed in the 2nd post in this thread.

    Hello Kuroi, thanks again for the fast response. I guess what I'm doing here is really changing the conventional zen cart layout. Which in all honestly is beyond my web coding skills.

    So I guess my mission for Friday night is to remove logo and reinsert it above the bread crumbs... Alright I guess the files I'll have to work with are tpl_header and tpl_main_page right?
