Apple Zen Support Thread

[hrm]

Hi all. I'm using Apple Zen on a new site and I'm having a problem with my background image in the centerColumn on the product_info page. In Firefox, the image shows at the top of the div and in IE it shows at the bottom.

Here's a link
Here's what I have for CSS

.centerColumn {
	background: url('../../../../images/wide_mt_faded.jpg') no-repeat bottom center;

	width:70em;
	height:100%;

	margin:0 auto;

	padding:0;
	padding-bottom: 100px;

	text-align:left;

	line-height:1.6em;

	}

If anybody has got an idea of how to fix this, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

ACTUALLY, it looks like you have some </div> closing issue, trying to validate that page gives many errors, I think you have one extra </div> somewhere, find that, and the issue will probably go away.

Hello,

My submenu still come over the main menu !
My .htaccess is it well formated for my website which is on subdomain?
Any idea?

Thanks in advance

It looks like IE7, now that you're using images for the menu, is not respecting the HEIGHT for the images, as if they were not there. Try adding this to your stylesheet_header_menu.css:

div#dropMenu ul.level1 li.submenu:hover ul.level2 {top:2.2em;}

I have this wonderful template installed and have installed several mods and all seems to be working fine with one exception; loading speed! Sometimes the menu or all of the sideboxes do not load at all. After several refreshes it will finally load. I use Firefox but also have tried in Explorer.
The flash images on the main page is very small and the fact is it was loading slow before I added the flash.
I don't know much about optimizating for speed nor have I found anything about optimizing Zen in the forum. I would like someone to take a look and give me some critque and suggestions.

I would definitely get rid of the flash, it is not very small, it is almost 420K, whoever told you it was small was smoking something good, LOL. You can analyze the speed of your site here:
http://www.websiteoptimization.com/s...yze/index.html

Your total site size is 563960 bytes, and says it would take 7 seconds to load on a T1 connection:

Connection Rate Download Time
14.4K 441.30 seconds
28.8K 222.75 seconds
33.6K 191.53 seconds
56K 116.60 seconds
ISDN 128K 38.62 seconds
T1 1.44Mbps 7.19 seconds

MOST of your site is that flash file. You should make your logo smaller as well. I would make it much physically smaller, and try to get it under 20K (its at about 70K right now).

Hiya!

Love the template, and I am using it as a basis to my new store I am in the process of putting together.
I am a complete beginner with CSS, but I have spent the afternoon tinkering around with things, and switching out all the colors to yellow to document what changes what, and where

I have one piece left that I would like to remove from view, which is still (at this time, until I figure it out) colored yellow.

My site is http://www.shirt10tees.com/ and I would be very grateful if someone could point me to what I should delete / comment out to make this simply disappear.

Thanks in advance!

This turned off the "Home" text (which is actually something I didn't mind turning off for the front page only, option 2), it didn't touch the categories in the currently yellow section.
