Buying I will pay $25 to the first person who can post a solution to my html error

Somehow I introduced a bug that I can't find. I will pay $25 to the first person to post to this thread the problem AND A FIX. You may need to to a file save-as to put a local copy on your hard disk to find the problem.

Ok so here is the problem:

http://www.xmms3.com/sami/What_does...ber_is_temporarily_disconnected-qna39774.html

works fine

Now the new version that has a bug:

http://www.xmms3.com/branch/What_do...ber_is_temporarily_disconnected-qna39774.html

Notice the box that is supposed to go around the entire page now only goes around the top header area. I can only imagine a div or table was closed early or something. Anyway I will pay you $25 if are the first to post a solution to this thread. Do not PM me the solution because I need it to be clear who was first in case there are two solutions close together.

Thanks guys!

Doug

 

I have sent you a PM with the html fix.

Thanks

 

Ok, thats an extremely incorrect way about going about solving this. Defining the width of that SPECIFIC page in question doesn't fix it for any of the other pages (as this is a dynamic script).

The ACTUAL problem is that after the <div id="content">(the content was here)</div> he didnt add the following:

<div style="clear:both">&nbsp;</div>

along with the footer code:

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" style="background-color:green;color:white;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td nowrap="" valign="top" align="center" class="Footer">
<span style="text-decoration: none;color:white;" id="bbb">

</span>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

which also causes the footer floating along the right of the page instead of anchoring to the bottom.

Please implement the actual solution and PM me for payment details.

 

I don't think I was clear. I need somebody to show me a snippet of code and where to place it. I already understand conceptually the problem and the things that can be tried. Riptidesolutions pmed me a link to a copy of my page "fixed" but I had that to start with. I just don't know exactly what code i broke and where. In other words show me where to put <div style="clear:both">&nbsp;</div> if that indeed is the problem. Thanks everyone for helping. Doug

 

Right after <div id="content"></div> ends. The best way to locate it would be to use a text editor with syntax highlighting (i use Notepad++) and click on the plus sign next to where you find <div id="content"> to un-expand the entire div. If you cannot locate it on your own, I can save the HTML file and add in the lines.

 

Sorry to be so dense, but can you simply cut and paste a chunk of the code with an <insert here> or something.

 

Basically, find this section:

</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div>

Code (markup):

and do this

</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div>
<div style="clear:both">&nbsp;</div>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" width="100%" style="background-color:green;color:white;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td nowrap="" valign="top" align="center" class="Footer">

Hello,

First you have to delete or comment this code from your html:

"
<table style="background-color: green; color: white;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<td class="Footer" align="center" valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">
<span id="bbb" style="text-decoration: none; color: white;">

Now it will be working exactly as you want.

 

Simple solution:

Just paste in to your head section of your page, it will work in all pages of your website.

 

hi,

after the closing tag of

<div id="middle">

Code (markup):

add this:

<div style="clear:both;"></div>

Code (markup):

 

Since none of these solutions seem to work, I will throw my offer out there to recode this without tables for the $25.

 

The solution by shawnssj doesn't seem to work. Did you try this yourself? You can check the view source to see if I did it correctly but it still doesn't work. I am going to try the next solution while I am waiting for your response.

 

It appears to me that gapz101 has also suggested the same solution (or am i missing something). The solution by mrkool might work (untested) but is really a work around not a solution and not everyone has javascript enabled.

Riptidesolutions has shown me a working version of my web page but I still don't have instructions on what to add/change. Riptidesolutions if you have a solution why not post it!! You also offered to recode without tables. That might be a good idea, but we are in the middle of a beta test and cannot go back into development mode and possibly introduce other bugs.

 

Can nobody fix this? Its driving me crazy. I am now doubling the reward to $50 !!!! The solution you post MUST be tested and cannot be a "work around". If you do NOT say I have TESTED this solution and it works you will not be selected as the winner even if your solution works! Sorry but it just seems like people are saying "try this" but it actually doesn't work and they didn't try it themselves first.

 

OK i am doing it and will test it will let you know via pm or gonna pot it here as its not done yet..

 

oh, can you put back the original file, it currently messed up

 

Well, after putting the code in through Firebug, I can assure you the solution I suggested functions fine. Other than that, gapz solution is just the same code in the wrong place. And all mrkools does is basically define a height of the document in some extremely meaningless way, which is EXACTLY what he tried earlier.

That being said, the problem relies in using the clear:both tag displayed previously, along with positioning the footer in the correct place. I don't know how else I can help without just going in FTP to the site and changing the code for you...

 

Change the last line of your code from:

</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div></div></div></div>

HTML:

to ..

</td></tr></tbody></table></div></div></div><div id="split" style="width: 100%; clear: both;"></div></div></div>

HTML:

If I'm the first one explaining it enough clear, kindly PM me and I'll reply back with my PayPal e-mail address Works like a charm.

 

You simply forgot to add an extra table to put everything within the wholebody box. I have attached a zip file with the corrected HTML file and a text file with the fix highlighted.

Hello,

Have you tried my solution once? It is working fine. I have attached the file you can find my change(finding with nirav) there. Please check it.
