firefox display problems

[sadie]

I need help with a few firefox display problems (i.e. was fine the last time I checked). I had a problem with the ssl page and firefox shifting the entire page (below the logo) to the right, and the page had very large print. I fixed the shift to the right, now, I lose the logo, navigation bar disappears, and the print is really large/distorted in firefox. Here is the address to my test store:

www.vintageknits.net/new_store

To get the error, go to my site in firefox, and then hit login.

Free help would be great, but if someone charges for fixing this, please pm me. This upgrade has taken too much time and been miserable. A little money out of my pocket is worth the aggravation of this upgrade.

Thanks

Quick update

Sometimes the error pages do not show up until you actually log in. I have set up a demo log in for anyone trying to duplicate the error pages:

Your style sheet has errors:
For starters: line 221:You are missing a quote after the alt:

background-image: url(a href="<A href="http://www.vintageknits.net/new_store/"><img">http://www.vintageknits.net/new_store/"><img src="includes/templates/template_custom/images/logo.gif" alt=" height="44" width="748");
overflow: auto;
}

Quote added (you should put in alt text between quotes)
background-image: url(a href="<A href="http://www.vintageknits.net/new_store/"><img">http://www.vintageknits.net/new_store/"><img src="includes/templates/template_custom/images/logo.gif" alt=" " height="44" width="748");
overflow: auto;
}

On another thread:
Add the line in red to your stylesheet for the navMainWrapper

#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
margin: 0em;
background-color: #80A470;
/*background-image: url(../images/tile_back.gif);*/
padding: 0.2em 0em;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff999;
overflow: auto; /* Added for Firefox for screen shift */
height: 2em;
}

Yes, I removed all of my supposed fixes to the shift right problem. When I went to IE, my firefox fixes broke the template in IE. Here are the fixes that I removed:


#logoWrapper {

background-image: url(a href="http://www.vintageknits.net/new_store/"><img src="includes/templates/template_custom/images/logo.gif" alt="" height="44" width="748");
overflow: auto;
}


#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
margin: 0em;
background-color: #fffbf0;
font-weight: bold;
color: #660000;
border: 1px solid #aa0055;
height: 1%;
width: 100%;
overflow: auto;
}


These fixes fixed everything in firefox except the very large print (but it made the navigation box disappear). Now I am back to the shifting far right and large print in firefox, but IE is fine. I will look at this in a few hours when I return.

Something has decided that your centerColumn needs to be 556 pixels wide versus the 450 that would make everything line up. If you really want the extra with, change the width of the nav and footer wrappers to 856px. You could then center the logo and adjust the background as needed.

Also, you seem to be one of many who have fallen victim to the html editor for the define main page. If you used the Admin --> Tools --> Define Pages Editor, open it up and go to the main page. Once it's open, click on the <> symbol and copy the following to replace what you have there now.

The unordered list you have there now is incorrect and giving the browsers headaches.

Hi All,

I can't figure out this firefox site shift thing. I've tried putting overflow: auto; in appropriate places but it doesn't do anything. If I try putting overflow: auto; in the #logo part I lose the scrollbar on the bottom.

My site url is http://www.beautyxpress.com.au/store

Any help would be much appreciated

Not a good idea to jump into a thread with a different problem. Not that it's not allowed, just can easily get passed over if someone thinks they've already addressed the problem.

That said, I think part of your problem is a stray </a> right near the end of your flash embed.

<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
<param name="movie" value="/store/includes/templates/template_default/nnez_com/flash/header_bigger2.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><embed src="/store/includes/templates/nnez_com/header_bigger2.swf" quality="high" bgcolor="#ffffff" width="790" height="307" name="nnez_com" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object></noscript></a><br>

Try taking out what I've highlighted in red and see what happens.

You've also got some problems with extra </li>'s in your drop menu and an extra </div>. Again, delete the items in red.

When you've got a chance, search the forum on flash embeds. You may find it can be a little simpler than the method you used.
