Why is my search side box overlapping in Firefox??

I have an issue with my search sidebox (top left of page) it is overlapping in firefox only (I.E, Chrome, Safari, Opera all fine??)

http: //77.92.73.65 /store /zen

Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks :smile:

you are using a editor that is set to UTF-8 and inserts utf BOM character into beginning of your page .

use developer tool kit to locate files effect .. for this 

this is not solution to your problem . once removed , i guess would be easier to figure what is the solution to your original problem .

also turn off UTF 8 Encoding in your editor

Hello Tony,

Am i right in thinking that I should use the developers toolkit to search for  ???

Thankyou

yes. those characters are somewhere , in one or many files that you have edited .. using DTK , you can find all instance of those character and remove them .

I have just finished trying to search for those characters you suggested using DTK...I couldnt find any anywhere??

Any Ideas?

Thanks

using DTK , use the bottom search field and in dropdown select catalog .
bottom last search field , search your entire zen cart files.

No, sorry Tony I did EXACTLY what you said and DTK on both my live server AND Localhost (just to be sure) found no instances of  how strange...

I have installed notepad++ and intend on using that as my text editor from now on (was microsoft expressions)

Any suggestions??

Regards :smile:

Has anyone got anymore suggestions??

Thankyou.

How are you entering the characters in DTK ?

Are you using "copy and paste" from their display on the browser?

At about line 122 in your style sheet, try removing:

margin-bottom: 10px;

from the #logo statement. That should make your search box slide over to the right.

If I misunderstand your question, sorry.

Never use anything with "microsoft" or "MS" in the name near any of your zencart files for editing purposes.

Or about line 216, add:

margin-top: 10px;

to the navcolumn styles.

Ok Ill bear that in mind from now on, if you dont mind me asking why is this?
And yes i did just copy and paste the text tony said to look for.

And also thanks for your suggestions Kiddo Ill try those tommorow and let you know if they work :smile:

Kiddo their is also an issue with the search SIDEBOX on the left aswell, it overlaps slightly in firefox as well as the issue with the the search box under the logo not sitting completely to the right. Thanks for your suggestions Kiddo Ill try those tommorow and let you know if they work :smile:

Kiddo I tried the first suggestion you gave and this fixed the issue with the search bar at the top right of the page in firefox...so a big Thanks for that. I still have the issue with the search sidebox overlapping though...

Regards

About line 722 in your style sheet, try removing the line that says:

padding: 4px;

Microsoft programs format stuff the "microsoft way" (MS assumes everyone in the world - and I mean everyone - only uses their stuff). When you use MS tools, they add formatting (that you can't see while you edit stuff) but when you work with sensitive code files, and background formatting will be included - therefore messing up the code.

You should always use editor programs that DO NOT format the text you are editing. Ideally, you should use an appropriate editor for an appropriate file type, so fo a .php file, you should use a PHP editor.

But this is impractical, so if you get a good PLAIN TEXT EDITOR such as notepad++, it is capable of recognising the file type and rendering the text on-screen (using text highlight techniques) appropriate to that code.

Basically, don't ever open your core files with MS programs. It will give you big headaches.
