Cherry Zen Template Support Thread

Hi Ruth,

You have an issue with your header when your site is viewed in Firefox.

See attachment for details.

Thanks
Rob

:laugh: that's putting it mildly... What you are looking at is me trying to get the menu to work properly with my custom links and second level links. I posted over in the flyout menu forum to see if anyone had any suggestions.

If you take a look now, you'll get an idea of what I'm trying to do. The problem is when I add the next level of links, the entire menu does one of two things.. it breaks the way you saw it, or the next level doesn't appear at all.

In messing with the menu, something now in the css hates IE6, but I figure to get the menu links fixed where they work as they should first and then address that issue.

Thanks for taking a look! I was getting really lonely talking to myself.

Hi Ruth,

No probs.

I have done the same and got it working nicely in IE6 and Firefox, but not in IE7.

If you have a fix for IE7 that you could share, maybe it is related to the issue I posted earlier.

See attachment for details.

Rob

EDIT: IE8 is working fine too. So it is just IE7 that is causing me issues.

OK Update...

I have it working in all IE browsers and FF browsers except in IE7 when hovered over it drops behind that purple image (which is just an image loaded into the define pages main page editor)

Anyone got any advice how to bring it above that?

Rob

Give me a sec. and I'll put it back where it "appears" nice in FF and IE7 - I killed IE6 - Gosh I can't tell you how good it is to talk to "someone"..LOL - maybe together we can fix each other's problems.

Go here really quick - http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=58629&page=133 and read my other post so you can truly see what I'm trying to do. It's the darndest thing I've ever seen. I can do the first Level "Men" with the sub levels - fine (no actual links coded yet, just the names), but soon as I add the next level... it breaks. I must have tried a hundred different ways of doing this. I've done these kind of menus a hundred times, but the way Jade had to code this for the category portion of the menu, has made it a total puzzle for me to figure out.

I'll look at your post and see if I can help you fix yours... you look at mine and put in your two cents...LOL Maybe if we work together I might be able to sleep at least a couple hours before company starts coming. (I was doing all my cooking prep work when you posted before...multi-tasking..LOL)

That's a z-index issue. What is the hover's z-index set at now?

(pm me a link to the real store.. I understand the under construction thing - mine is totally a mess until I get through this) and I can take a look at your source and be of much more help).

Ruth

The z-index is currently at 1000 I have not changed it yet.

There you will see what I mean :D

Try setting the z-index to 100 and see if that fixes the problem.

Well I just made huge progress!!! :clap:

I now have Men, Women & Kids -On Kids it gets a little tougher (as though figuring this out hasn't been tough enough..LOL). Kids has two primary sub menus - Girls/Boys each with lower tiers. Its all in the closing tag combination. I've been trying them all...LOL

Take a Look now (my site)

Thats excellent that you are making progress.

Reducing it to 100 has not worked either.

I am stuck with this, I think i will step back and take 5 and have a think.

:clap: I got it fixed!!!!!! It just dawned on me (I'm sure due to being absolutely exhausted blurred my brain) that I didn't need that many levels. The kids stuff is not broken down like that - at least not at this time (not enough of them to do that). Now I have to slide the rest of the links in and then I'm literally on your page.

In checking the browsers back and forth, I realized that when the menu was broken, I could see it in IE6, fixed it disappeared. That's because it's sliding up underneath the background image.

So.... I'm going to go a frig around with that and see if I can get that to go. Go check mine now... it's actually starting to look like I know what I'm doing....LOL

I'll post back on my progress, as I'm sure my fix will be yours also.

By the way... even though you didn't have the answer... having someone to whine to seemed to do the trick!! I think it re-energized me to keep working on it vs. throwing my hands up in the air.

Thanks for being a great sounding board. Sometimes that's all we need. :hug:

I know this is pretty basic but I was hoping someone could help me. On the product info page there is a leftfloat div and a rightfloat div. The right float is set to Width 45%; it appears they are part of the .contentWrap

What I would like to do is make the rightfloat larger than 45% and make the right float smaller. This doesn't appear as easy as making the 45% a larger number. Can someone help me? I am just working with the sample db but an example is

Thanks

I got that last question figured out but I am having a real problem setting the color for the navEZPagesTop. I was able to set the link colors fine for the section but when I set

#navEZPagesTop {
color:fff;
}

It continues to pull 000 for the font color.. why would it not look at how I defined the color?

If you have it like this

#logo {
float:left;
padding-left:00px;
text-align:left;

then maybe you need to clear your cache on your browser.

Please help JadeI don't have time to look right now, but look in your stylesheet.css for header width, it seems as if your header width is only 800px

Doing final clean up on site upgrade. I used Cherry Zen and incorporated the css drop down menu.

I'm having a couple of final issues as I check all over - moved the site to the root at 4am, so.. making sure all is there and correct.

I have an issue with the header - I have a flash built for the top banner position (to the right of the logo) but I had to turn it off. No matter what I do, the drop down will not flow on top of the flash, instead it hides behind it. I've searched high and low on this one. It's not a z-index solution (tried that first) - I ended up putting in a static banner for the moment as a place holder till I can figure that one out. If anyone else has any ideas I would be thrilled - :frusty:

What I hope is the last issue (still checking things over) I have the E-Z pages footer turned on, but only link that is showing up is the "Home" link - I checked and all the code is in the footer and I've set the configuration for the footer to be on, but nothing appears. Am I forgetting something, as I noticed no one else has this issue.

Feel free to take a look at the site located here - MySite - and let me know if you see any other anomalies. I definitely have had issues that I had to work through with IE (of course).

An extra set of fresh eyes are always welcomed.
