Category Pics are messed up with Internet Explorer

My website looks messed up when viewing it with IE but it is fine with firefox.

The url is http://www.yourweddingpearls.com

The category menu shows blank pictures in IE.
I don't have any pictures set in the admin for the categories.

In Firefox it just shows the text name of the category.
That is the way I want it to be in IE.

Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix this?

Thanks!

Re: Category Pics are messed up with Internet Explorer

Firefox renders the alt text that you have assigned to the images. Your source in both IE and firefox show the image call as > <li><a class="category-top" href="http://yourweddingpearls.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=3"><img src="images/" border="0" width="86" height="36" alt="Bracelets" title="Bracelets" /></a> </li>Maybe it would help if you provided it with an image.:wink:
You also have several errors in the stylesheet that may or may not effect the look.
Like the use of image handler and think you should also look into the lightbox add on.

Re: Category Pics are messed up with Internet Explorer

Thank you for the response.

I know you were able to view the html source and see there is no image.
What I don't understand is the path to the file that needs to be changed.

Would you happen to know the path to the file that I need to change?

thanks

Re: Category Pics are messed up with Internet Explorer

sorry,
I'm not able to know the name of your file without access to your server. If you look at my quote above, you'll see the red text. it should normally read```html
src="images/whatever_your_filename_is.gif"

Since you have added these image calls to the template, you will need to change each one to show the name of the image on your site.

If your filename for the gemstones is gemstones.gif, then your file will need to be changed to ```html
src="images/gemstones.gif"

Hope that makes it a little clearer.

Just a guess. You purchased this template?

Re: Category Pics are messed up with Internet Explorer

Hi,

Yes, this was a free template and my first time to use zen cart.

I understand how to change the html I just need to find the file.

It seems so complicated to find which php file the server is calling for to create each page.

Thanks

Re: Category Pics are messed up with Internet Explorer

Hard to find each little bolt or screw for a powerful engine.:yes:
Fortunately, there's a tool included with the admin portion of Zen.
Log into your admin and click on Tools --> Developer's Tool Kit.
The last block on the lower left says "Look-up in all files."
Enter > <img src="images/" border="0"in the next block to the right (dropdown), select "all files - Catalog/Admin", and then click on the search button. Zen-cart will search for all occasions where that image call exists and give you the name, location, and image of each one it finds. Then you just edit those files accordingly.
Are the devs neat or what?:clap:

Re: Category Pics are messed up with Internet Explorer

Thanks for the idea. I tried and it is not working.

It gives me this error:
Error: No matching Configuration Keys were found

Re: Category Pics are messed up with Internet Explorer

:shocking:
Do you know the names of the images for the items AND are they in the https://www.yourweddingpearls.com/images folder?

You say that you have a free template but the system is loading the classic stylesheet. You may have loaded the freebie over classic. If so, you're in danger of losing your changes in the future. But first, we need to find those images and put them in their place.:yes:

In the includes/modules directory, there should be a file called categories_tabs.php. See if this file has been modified to bring in the images.

Re: Category Pics are messed up with Internet Explorer

Thank you so much for your assistance.

When I said free template I meant the classic.

I think I'm just going to load an entirely new template and start over on the design.

Thanks for your help!
That is very kind of you.

Re: Category Pics are messed up with Internet Explorer

Before you start over, make sure you read this tutorial on the override system.

Take it from a guy who made lots of mistakes, if you change just one thing from the classic template, save it in the override!

Also, if you're going to start from scratch, there's a new release of 1.3.7.1 with some important updates. Get it and upload it to your site and you're ahead already.
