My Cherry Zen site Shows Different in almost Every Major Browser..

I'm using the Cherry Zen template as a basic template for almost all designs I do, but from time to time I get into some issues regarding placement of graphics that will not show correctly, which I usually am able to fix - but not this time, as most browsers (except Firefox and Internet Explorer 8!) will show it the bad way. Take a look at vaho.no - the lower wave in the footer area is the problem. The CSS that I use for placement is: ```
#bottom_illustration
{
background-image:url("../images/footer-bar.gif");
background-repeat:no-repeat;
color:#FFFFFF;
height:52px;
margin-top:-120px;
margin-left:364px;
position:absolute;
width:950px;
}


I have also tried using position: relative;  but with no exciting results..

Anyone got any pointers I would appreciate it tremendously :D

Also attaching what I get in the different Browsers:

Firefox

Internet Explorer 8

Chrome 6.0.472.63

Safari 4.0.4

Internet Explorer 8 With Compatibillity View:

Thanks for taking the time to read this cry for help :blush:

From your source

<!-- end mainWrapper -->
<div id="bottom_illustration">
</div>

Notice your added div "bottom_illustration" is outside of the mainWrapper...
If moved so as contained within the mainWrapper you should not have the issue

Remove the position:absolute commands, after you've done that.

Re: My Cherry Zen site Shows Different in almost Every Major Browser..

Hi and thanks for taking the time :D

I tried this now, but I can not see any visible changes - thinking I done this the wrong way, since you guys obiously know what you're talking about :blush:

I did move it within the MainWrapper div and so on, but same result. I also removed the position tag within the CSS code.

Thanks for helping :D

Cheers,
Surtsey

Re: My Cherry Zen site Shows Different in almost Every Major Browser..

This is quite strange... you currently have the bottom image inside #contentMainWrapper, but #contentMainWrapper is after everything else on the page (and holds nothing else) instead of containing most of the page. Is that the way the template is built, or did you modify it?

Re: My Cherry Zen site Shows Different in almost Every Major Browser..

Now from your source

<!-- end mainWrapper -->
  <div id="contentMainWrapper">
    <div id="contentMainWrapperb">
      <div class="outer">
        <div class="inner">
          <div class="float-wrap">
                <div id="bottom_illustration">
    </div>

Still outside of the mainwrapper

Re: My Cherry Zen site Shows Different in almost Every Major Browser..

Hei
Jeg har ikke noe svar, men lurte på om du kunne forklare hvordan man poster spøsrmål.

Finner ikke ut hvor man gjør det. Etter det jeg kan se er det ikke noen logisk enkel måte å gjøre dette.

Mvh
