:cool: site looks nice on my two computers IE6 and IE7

thanks, I have made a few changes, seems to have fixed a few things, but can't get the text in the copyright - Zen area bottom right of footer to show up. It looks like the box is either too small for the text or margins or something. Am playing around with it now.

Did you notice if the top and bottom borders on the product info pages are rather large (thick) showing in the buy box?

Thanks for your comments - appreciate the feedback.

Did you do this change in your stylesheet?

.centerColumn {
background: #fff;
font-size: 1.2em;
position: relative; /do not remove-fixes stupid IEbug/

It fixed the problem for me.

Sure, I have 3 HTML files saved, but can't upload them, any other way to show you?

put them in a zip file and upload that.

But as I said I verified the store portion of your site and only got the warnings I previously mentioned and these didn't have anything to do with colors.

Here are the files I saved after validating using IE developer tool

Thanks again for your help

Yes!!!! Thanks, read it in a previous post - fixed most of the probs I have with IE - but still have a few issues to iron out.

Like Date errors when I have done all the changes (for Aussies) and borders on the centre box in page info view too large, and copyright box not showing the Zen text properly.

Otherwise, things are looking a lot better in IE than they did a few hours ago. I really appreciate all the help I am receiving from you guys.

I've fixed those and will zip up the changes and post them for you.

I fixed a lot of things in the stylesheet that should take care of most of the IE errors and I've increased the height of the footer box so that should take of that issue also.

Just unzip the file and upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Thanks for that, other than messing up a few things I had modified, it seems to have made a difference in IE and FF - but I can fix those I guess.

Now all I have to find out about is fixing the date error message in the account area.

Thanks again,
Really appreciate your time

Great, did that and seem to fix a couple of things - my heading won't center any more tho' "text align: center" doesn't get read in the <div statement when you view the page source.

Not urgent.

Thanks

open the stylesheet.css and change:

#logo {
margin:0;
float: left;
}

to

#logo {
margin:0;
text-align: center;
}

Thanks Clyde,

Everything seems great now except I have lost the shop options graphic from the footer. Can't seem to get it back.

Any thoughts?

Only thing I see is in the following from the stylesheet.css:
Delete the highlighted portion and make sure the graphic is located in includes/templates/comstock/images

#shopOptions {
margin: 0px 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
background: url(../images/options.gif) center center no-repeat;
height: 35px;
float: center;
}

Found the prob. Had edited image and saved as a .png - had to change that in stylesheet again - forgot I had changed it.

Most things are fine in IE now - can't thank you enough for your help Clyde

Most appreciated

Thanks again :clap:

Glad I could help.

Hello Clyde, first of all I simply love this template of your. What I'm trying to do is get everything cleand up before I start actually adding content to my site. I've got some I.E. bugs that I can't seen to clear up. I've been reading this thread and trying different things but haven't found the fixes yet. I was wondering if you have the time could you take a look at my site in both F.F. (how it should look) and I.E. (at the problems that I have. Any help would be great.

Thanks,
Charlotte

not the right URL

clydejones:

not the right URL

Hello Clyde,

I just copied and pasted this url right from the browser address bar on my website. I also clicked on it here and it goes straight to my website. I have another site running live right now at http://www.xtreme-rc-hobbies.net/ which is Oscommerce and not Zen Cart. I am getting this site (Zen Cart/Comstock) setup to replace that one and have it in a completely different directory with my web host.

Here it is cut and pasted directly from my website with Zen Cart and your Comstock template that I am trying to complete.
