Page contents keep moving...

the site is https://www.holkat.co.uk/index.php

My problem is the Home page - the underline below breadcrumb trail keeps appearing in different positions....and the photo does the same. This happens all the time when refreshing the screen.

Any thoughts what is causing this?

thanks

Looks like a mismatched div somewhere

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Re: Page contents keep moving...

Wow...had a look in there....where is all that code?? not css? I have never delved into those areas before - site started off with a template so I guess most of them were already there.
Any pointers which error is actually causing this? thanks

Re: Page contents keep moving...

I'd start by redoing the contents of your main_page file

(admin->tools->define pages editor->define_main_page.php)

If I had to guess, it looks like you pasted the contents of that file in from word? I would type it in rather than pasting it from an external document.

Thanks but the wording was all typed in.

The main image and newsletter image were both inserted using FCKeditor function.

Re: Page contents keep moving...

Ok...here is the cause/solution for anyone else that might have the same problem....

What was happening on the home page was caused by the images in the center column boxes - New Products for... Featured products, Monthly Specials.
They're randomised aren't they!! Every now and then it was picking out say images that were 145px wide and if one of the rows had 3 of them then it forced the template wider on that refresh.

Everything on the template that wasn't a fixed width would shuffle over to try and catch the template width up.

What I've done is made those boxes 3 columns wide instead of 4 so the columns have more room now to display the wider images.
With 4 columns it was becoming a little cramped for the images that were 145px width. It was fine with the 120px width.
