OK CSS Guru's

Somebody please keep me from the continuing motion of head against wall:lamo:

I built this template http://lakecountrygiftshop.com/
Which looks great in firefox - but when you look in IE7 I have 2 (?? only these 2) the information box and the paypal box which are pulling in a solid brown background rather than my graphic. Also I notice that the Information box is very left aligned instead of padded as it is in Firefox.

Can someone who hasn't been beating their head on the wall over this for a week please take a peek and tell me what I wonked in the stylesheet for those boxes! I'd really appreciate it.:yes:

IE 6 also shows the same problem as IE 7.

Here are good places to start at.

Selector expected. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.
stylesheet.css (line 175)

Expected end of value for property but found 'color'. Error in parsing value for property 'width'. Declaration dropped.
stylesheet.css (line 292)

Expected identifier for pseudo-class or pseudo-element but found ' '. Ruleset ignored due to bad selector.
stylesheet.css (line 521)

Fixed all three - thanks for the check - but still the problem persists - any other suggestions ? Thanks again !

Tina,

I looked at the view source and found this error on both of the sideboxes.

You have this extra quote mark before the class declaration.

Tina,

TIDY also reports the following errors:

I have actually cut my errors down to 8 on validation- but one of those - the very first one is stumping me :(

I've attached a zip file with corrected code for you. Also includes a suggested color change for your special prices.

Still means a bit of work for you to do but at least you wont' have to worry about code errors. :smile:

Thanks Rob :-) I am sure it's something that I am simply failing to see - considering it's not my first time around the block with a template but this one just wants to piss me off :)

Thanks again my friend!

Tina,
again, taken from the view source:

Warning: <div> unexpected or duplicate quote mark

Its the quote immediately in front of class.

Yes I know - I see that too - but the problem is that I don't see where it's getting that at... on ONLY those two sideboxes. I mean I realize that they are the template and all - but I have edited them over and over and I cannot find why they get that code :(

Here is the code for the div in the paypal box :

$content =

'<div "class="sideBoxContent">

And in info pages it's :

$content = '<div class="sideBoxContent">';

And the information sidebox isn't even being over written at the moment, so it's using the default :lamo: :lamo: :lamo:

FIXED !

Thanks Clyde and Website Rob !!!

class="sideBoxContent" is defined in 'includes/templates/*/sideboxes/tpl_ezpages.php', if using EZpages.

• means either template_default dir. or your custom dir. if using one.

Just noticed you fixed your problem. Good for you, Tina, and you're welcome for the help.
Will leave the post as is though, since it might help someone down the road.

Glad to be of help.

Still got one small error, Tina.

#navBreadCrumb {
width: 90%;
color: fff;
}

Should be using: color:#fff;

Good Eye ! Thanks Rob :)

In following up on this thread I see the site [lakecountrygiftshop.com] is now offline?
Don't tell me all that hard work has been for nought? :shocking:

maybe a temporary thing ? It's there now.

You are correct.

What were the odds I would be checking when the Server was not available? Me thinks I should buy a Lottery Ticket today. :wink2:

TinaS,

Can you post your fix for the rest of us? I have a similar problem.
