If both are the same product type, then I'm not sure why one would work and the other does not..

thanks for taking the time to look at it for me

Hopefully someone else knows the answer.. I'm afraid it will be difficult for any of us to give an answer as we really can't see your site files. This certainly is not normal for TPP.

The only other time I saw issues with how this mod generated tabs had everything to do with another mod which affected the product info page which was in direct conflict with TPP. In that case I don't know how it was resolved, but I suspect that the person went back to the the author of the mod which was in conflict with TPP..

You have some serious validation errors on your product pages.

For example you load a number of scripts including jQuery in a place where the script tag isn't allowed, and the structure of some of the data that you are trying to include in your tabs is broken.

Browsers will do their best to work around these errors, but in this case the page's underlying structure is so badly broken that it's not even clear where it starts and finishes.

This may or may not be the cause of the problem that you reported. It probably is, but even if it's not, it will be difficult to diagnose the problem with so much else getting in the way.

crikey!!! thats a bag full, to correct these I will obviously need to revisit numerous files, is there a quick fix??? this prob reason why the website loads pretty slowly too. Was not aware of the site you directed me towards so thanks for that, much appreciated. BTW this is all fixable ...right?

Probably is all fixable, but my guess is based on what I've seen and Kuroi's response is that NOT ONE BIT of the issues you are having has anything to do with TPP directly.. You are gonna have to review your site and all your modifications to get to the culprit..

[kuroi]

There's not a quick fix, as there are several problems in there, but probably not as many of the number of errors suggests.

These problems tend to cascade, so once something is broken several other errors are reported as the validator tries to work out what the structure should be to get back on track (much as the browsers would). So clear one problem and several reported errors disappear.

However, there is no avoiding the need to go back over the changes you've made to find the root causes. But as guidance I'd guess that most if not all are in your template and the way in which you've structured your product description when your entered it in the admin.

Thanks for the feedback, I have spend some time now fixing these errors, so Kuroi, if you get a chance please have another look to see what you think down to single no errors but a bit stuck on these last few as majority seem to relate to the drop down menu but cannot seem to get to bottom of it.

The TPP issue is still unresolved, so as DivaVocals said I think I need dig deeper for a solution.

BTW although I have posted a thread for feedback in reviewers corner, unfortunately nobody has got back to me (not sure what i take from that but...) just if ye can give any feedback or advice be much appreciated. cheers.

[kuroi]

That clears it up a lot. The remaining errors appear to be because you have list items outside of lists in your drop down menu, and a repeated ID in your manufacturers (brands) sidebox.

However, these probably aren't the cause of your TPP issues. Rather I'd take a look at the minification of your css files (a process where a number of them have been shoved together and reduced in size for faster loading). What happens if you turn that off?
