Featured products display problem Internet Explorer

[jewelion]

If you set 3 products per row in Featured Products it displays OK in Firefox and IE.
If you set 4 products per row in Featured Products box it displays OK in Firefox. However in IE the fourth product "trips" over into second row and makes a real mess of the display.

I think this is because floor(100/3) is 33, and 3 * 33 is 99
floor(100/4) is 25 and, 4 * 25 is 100 - which should all fit but doesn't quite.

My solution: in includes/modules/featured_products.php line 47, change
$col_width = floor(100/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_FEATURED_PRODUCTS);
for
$col_width = floor(100/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_FEATURED_PRODUCTS) - 1;

which guarantees a fit!

All boxes which use this method of calculation may be affected by this.

Big thank you!

This is awesome!! Thanks so much. The blank sidebox module I was using was causing Internet Explorer to add a blank row when I had the Featured Products showing four products in a row.

This worked perfectly!

Thanks very much!
I also have similar issue with Specials products display when 4 columns per row are used.
Just modify specials_index.php in the same folder mentioned.
Work perfect.

This needs to be fixed in the next release.

I was having a similar issue.

3 columns worked fine, but 2 columns did not. The featured products showed two columns for a split second and then displayed one column.

By using your simple patch, -- adding that "-1" to the corresponding line of code for my custom template corrected the issue.

The same problem exists on New Products and Specials.
The same patch should be made to
new_products.php
specials_index.php

I made those patches and tested them.

Thanks for figuring this out.

This doesn't work for me. I tried up to -25 (!!) and on Internet Explorer, only one column will appear. I tested the mod on Safari and could clearly see that the mod was taking effect. Could I be having a problem due to cell padding or something? My site is

Big thank you from me too... Came across this thread because I have 2 featured products and on the main page IE displayed them in 2 columns whereas FF showed them in 1 row.. I want the row display but could NOT get that done. I used the fix described above and now both browsers show this correctly. Kudos.
