Right Side Column Will Not Go Away in IE only

[weddingpearls]

Hello everyone,

I'm having a problem with my new zen cart site.

When I look at www.valorsinc.com on firefox it looks just the way I want it.
It only has two columns. But when I look at www.valorsinc.com with Internet Explorer the pictures are all pushed together because there are three columns (the third column is blank).

In the admin I made the right column 0px. I also turned the Right Column Status - Global setting to Column Right is always off.

There is no right column when I use firefox but there is a blank right column and a squished middle column when I use Internet Explorer. What do I need to do to fix this?


Thanks for helping,
Jacob

Jacob, if you notice, even in FF, the page is too wide......see the scroll bar at the bottom? Try setting Main Wrapper to 85%, to make it look like:

#mainWrapper {
text-align: left;
width: 85%;
vertical-align: top;
}

Not sure that will take care of IEs' problem, but ya' never know.

Where did you get that template? It is a mess! you need to talk to whoever designed it.

Hello,

Get em fast: Thanks for the idea. I tried changing the mainwrapper bigger and smaller than 100%. It didn't solve the problem but thanks for the suggestion.


Kim: I've tried contacting the person who did the template for me and he is no where to be found. Do you know what file inside his template I should look at to solve this problem?

Thanks so much!

O.k., Jacob......just noticed that editing the main wrapper on your site with FF, DID take away the scrollbar at the bottom, making the site not overflow on the sides, but, of course, I couldn't test this in IE. Sorry it didn't work.
Was it someone in this forum who designed your template?

Get em fast,

No, the person that created the template is not part of this forum. I found them on a freelance site.

Another thing you might do, is put that main wrapper back to 85% (to take care of the scroll issue), then, in your stylesheet, look for the line: .columnRight {} , and edit to look like: .columnRight {display: none;}. That should make the right column go away......for good.

I don't see a scroll bar on my screen on ff or ie.

I checked the css and made the change but it is still not working.

In the template there is a file that is named tpl_box_default_right.php. Could this be the file I need to change? It looks like this:
