Re: Blank space between images on the home page?

Firsat off you have your ZenCart in an iframe
This will break many items function

Remove your ZenCart from the iframe and see what happens

Re: Blank space between images on the home page?

Is not in a frame is it embedded:

<div> <table style="width: 100%"> <tr> <td style="width: 757px" class="style7"> <object data=http://www.svdpgpusa.org/store width="810" height="900"> <embed src=http://www.svdpgpusa.org/store width="810" height="900"> </embed> Error: Embedded data could not be displayed. </object> </td></tr></table></div>

I may have a cache issue at work it is working just find at home on my laptop/tablet/cell/desktop...

The only thing that does not work however with embedded function is when I use PayPal! PayPal for security reason does not me to use embedded too bad I like to control everything under my site: http://www.svdpgpusa.org/default.html

Thank you for your prompt response. I'm really new at that stuff and appreciate the help I can get on the PayPal issue. The other issue about the space I think I can find out...

When I select "Shopping Cart" Zen cart is in an iframe and most probably why your having issues with PayPal

I'm not sure what you mean by 'I like to control everything on my site', but there's no way around Paypal's regulations concerning embedded parts of the site (or frames), nor should there be. As you said, the rules are there for security reasons, and security needs to be our first priority when it comes to our customers.

I don't see the blank space problem you describe in any browser.

I agree so I removed the embedded page to go to paypal. (Thank you ZenCart ) the Paypal stuff works great!
However I still have the space problem betweem images (Only at work) not evrywhere else. (see attached)
I clear the cache, I ipconfig /flushdns / I reseted the router

I still have the same problem??? This is the source from both http://www.svdpgpusa.org/store at home and at work

Re: Blank space between images on the home page?

I'm back at home now. I'm using VISTA at work with explorer 8
My boss using Windows 7 with Explorer 9

Both machine are having issues with the blank space between pictures.

Here at home I'm using windows 8 with explorer 10 on the laptop
and windows 7 on the desktop
No problem at home.

Re: Blank space between images on the home page?

Could be. I think they use Symantec 360 up to 5 machines
I'm at home now and everything is working fine with my laptop.
I removed the embedded/frame of the shopping from my site and you are correct the PayPal is now working just fine. I tried to go around it but way to cumbersome for me so I followed your advice and Stevesh and removed the embedded/frame.

On the spacing issue I'm still puzzle... I'll bring my laptop at work on Monday and see what's happen. I'll let you know on Monday. I still do have a lot of work to do on the shopping cart and the website. One thing that I would like to add later on, would be for the client of the shopping cart to be able to make a donation at the same time than they purchase something (Since we are a non profit organization 501-c3) before selecting PayPal. Or better yet to have PayPal add a donation amount on the payment page This way the client will have more incentive to make the donation and more difficult to change its mind since this would be the last click before the actual payment.

I'm not sure if I'm clear my English is kind of week. But if you understand what I'm trying to say let me know how I could do that one way or another.

Thank you Kobra.

Re: Blank space between images on the home page?

I'm back at work this morning and I installed windows Explorer 10 on my boss machine. No problem now with Explorer 10 at work.
However on my machine upstairs at work I'm using windows Vista and explorer 9 and I'm still having those space problems on the home page!!! Plus I can't upgrade to 10 on vista... Many people are still using explorer 9 is there something I can do to make that work at work with Vista / Explorer 9. Also I like to know if it is just in my work because of some unknows issue that my cart shows those spaces on the open as discribed in the attachement above? Can you try with other older broswer including explorer 9 on your side to see if it is just my location at work? http://www.svdpgpusa.org/store

Thank you

Jacques

Sorry for the delay. Thank you guys! My only problem was with a older version of the explorer with VISTA you were correct. My last problem now is the email. I can send from the contact us page through the cart but those email sent never arrived?
