Columnb grid layout problem

Occasionally, the pictures in the product listing begin to overlap one another. This doesn't happen all the time, but it does once in a while. I'm hoping to fix this and would appreciate any input. I previously thought it was CSS problem because I wasn't sure, but upon further inspection I believe it had to stem from the installation.

Please see this page as an example. (If you don't see any problems, click around to other categories to see the overlap.) It often appears without problems on the first few clicks to product listings. You need to really click around to start seeing errors. This shows up in Firefox, Safari, IE (on both Macs and PCs).

Thanks!

Re: Columnb grid layout problem

This is due to tables.....What version of Zen Cart and what version of the Column-Grid Module did you use?

Re: Columnb grid layout problem

You do not need to find them and if you are using Zen Cart 1.3.7 and the mod that you linked they should not be there.....

Do you have FireFox and the web developers tools?

Re: Columnb grid layout problem

The web developer tools which is an extention the you will also have to get has a tool bar and in this you can select to outline tables.

You will see that you have many tables and I will PM you a site that has this installed and you can see that there are no tables around the products in the rows

Re: Columnb grid layout problem

Hmm, I outlined tables for both sites and compared them.

The only difference I noticed is that mine has one table surrounding the products in the rows.

Re: Columnb grid layout problem

Hmm, ok.

I tried that just now.

There are tables around every product in each category.

Is this what's causing the problem? If so, should I take out these tables and where can I take them out?

Re: Columnb grid layout problem

A properly installed current Zen Cart and the correct column grid module should not be creating these. You can not edit them out but just have to get your install correct.

Re: Columnb grid layout problem

I think I just fixed it.

I compared the product_listing.php template file with the mod file.

They were different. I think somehow, the file in the mod didn't overwrite the old one when I installed it. I outlined the table cells again on my site and there are no tables around the products now. I've also checked every category at least once without any problems.

Thanks for all the help! :)

If anything still goes wrong, I'll post in this thread.
