Questions and problems with Avignon, Twist of Nature, S¢xy, Alien Stemware, Dragon and others.

Hi Sam!

Just installed for testing your latest Dragon template on a secondary site that has been laying fallow for too long. I want to fully develop it:

http://www.fashion-mart.biz/alyce-prom/alyce-6748

Very striking template, as are all of your templates. And each one is very unique. Color-wise I can use all of them out-of-the-box so far. And Dragon and your other templates are pretty fast out-of-the-box.

And with Dragon you really got the header 2 banner correct: to the right across from the logo. Far to many templates either remove the header 2 banner or, if enabled, it disrupts the whole header. I consider the header 2 banner the most important banner. (Now must make some good header 2 banners.)

Anyway, and unlike Alien Stemware, S e X Y and Ebony & Ivory templates, I'm receiving some 25 validation errors. Don't know how long this results link will work, but the errors are here:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...Inline&group=0

I do not see validation errors with your demo link:

I do notice that, for some reason, the validator is showing my zenid numbers, which the other templates do not. Maybe that is part of the problem, don't know.

Thanks for any help.

Just to add for others not familiar with these templates, they are mostly little more than stylesheets with maybe a few files. Not a major upload at all.

It is really interesting how such dramatic appearance changes can happen with just a stylesheet and little more.

PS: fashion-mart.biz is a 1.3.9h cart with Simple SEO URL, if that's important. This didn't affect the other templates.

Just found another minor issue with Dragon.

It is a rather wide template in IE9 and Firefox, but not full width. Looks very nice at that width.

However, in Chrome the body goes full width, while the header remains at regular width. Same on your demo.

EDIT: and now I see that the stylesheet has a max/min width setting. But it doesn't appear consistent in all browsers. It's not horrible, though.

I guess Chrome is using the main wrapper width of 100% for the body, instead of the content main wrapper max width of 1220px?

/*wrappers - page or section containers*/
#mainWrapper {
	background: #cdc5b3;
	text-align: left;
	width: 100%;
	vertical-align: top;
      
	}

#contentMainWrapper {
	background: #cdc5b3;
	min-width:950px;
	max-width:1220px;
	margin:0 auto !important;
}

#navMain, #navCatTabs, #logoWrapper, #navEZPagesTop > div {
	min-width:950px;
	max-width:1220px;
	margin:0 auto !important;

Nice Dragon template but decided to return to Brighton Pets template, at least for now. No validation issues.

Fashion-Mart.biz

My concern is having the same template on two sites with nearly same products, a google thing I'm thinking.

I will look into it.

Try validating this web address:
http://google.com/

Point made.

I actually went back to Dragon template on fashion-mart.biz, as I like it and don't want the same templates on my sites.

But for some reason, when validating, the validator picks-up my zenids, which it does not do on other templates, including yours. Don't know why, but wonder if that's causing an issue with the url and google/se's.

Thanks for looking in to this.
