Why is the table to the left in IE6 and to the right in Firefox. I want it centered.

Please advise what I am doing wrong.

Are you not going to use any sideboxes? Try removing this from stylesheet.css:

.outer {
padding-left: 165px; /* Same width as margin-left for the float-wrap div */
padding-right: 150px; /* Our right column width */
}

Also, I'm offering a small bit of unsolicited observation. That background on your site is mighty hard on the eyes.

I am trying to get the footer navigation to look the same as the one in the header. I have identified the footer navigation is NavSupp and NavSuppWrapper and I cloned the header css styles then renamed them to match. I then added the <span> into the footer link within footer.php

This all seems to work fine except for two things.

1) The footer background image is 100% width across the page and does not have the margin like in the header navigation, so it looks odd. How can I get the footer navigation bar to look the same as the header so it has the margin around it and fits within the main layout?

2) The top of the footer navigation bar has a gap between the end of the white space and the navigation bar. How do I remove this so the footer naviation bar fits tight against the white bottom of the main page.

I hope that is not too cryptic and you understand what I mean.

Thanks

Paul

link please?

Question about the header... I would like to layer my header so that my logo is placed on the right while having a backriound image that fills the entire header are including the area behind the logo. One that would not be affected by the resize of the site based on screen dimensions.

In other words I want an image (logo) on top of an image (background) that makes up the header. Thanks! Josh

Would this also be the background of the site? As in the drop shadowed portion of the site would not start until after the logo?

Another question... in the header can I place a table that holds different images that when clicked the customer would go to different pages in the site. The images would also have roll over effects.

You could do this, open up includes/templates/cherry_zen/common/tpl_header.php, and insert the code wherever you'd like it, with new css. Of course, this would require some knowledge of HTML, and unfortunately I don't have ready made instructions for doing this, you'd have to dig in yourself with help from the general forum, or hire someone to help you out with it. Good luck!

I was able to add the table on my test site and that should come out pretty nicely.

I was also wondering how I could use he banners function (header position 2)

Thanks!

Hello,

I am having a strange issue that i don't know how to resolve. On the cherry zen template i would like to change the back ground color and for some reason when i change the color in the stylesheet.css file instead of only changing the back ground it's changing the content area back ground as well. Here is what I have:

body {
background:#DCC38B; /* main site background color, blue default */
}

I started off keeping everything #ffffff however I’d like to add a bit more color and in everything other than IE 7 it's changing everything. I remember reading that there were aspects of the template that only showed in IE 7 is this one of them? Is there any solution to this or is it just me changing the color in the wrong place?

The customer is ALWAYS right. Not my first choice either, but full customized shopping cart in a week takes time. I am not going to question their choices.

Please read the banner tutorial in the Tutorials/FAQ section.

When you added all that new coding for your site, you added new <body> and </body> and <head> and </head> and you even added a closing </html>. All that needs to be removed. I think that may be part of your problem.

Thanks so much for your response. I did not realise that the logo was being resized as the image I uploaded was 11kb. I have commented the logo resing out and that has solved the large size and teh logo look smuch better.

Thanks for your help.

I have tried setting the option array to 5 but that doesn't seem to work. I will move the sectons on the product display page as suggested.
