I am designing a new webside based on the Joomla CMS. All has gone well. I've designed my template and am working on the content and features. I stumbled into a problem that appears to be firefox only. Clicking on a link will throw off the alignment/wrap of that section of content. I've looked around my CSS and the page source to see what would be doing this. No luck. Take a look at the problem here: http://new.washingtoncouncil.org/in...n&id=1&Itemid=2 Clicking on Lastest News will scrunch all the content in the content area to the left and wont take you to the link. Clicking again on anything but the link will restore the content to its original state. Any ideas on what is going on? Also... I'm having the problem on other parts of the site. I will list them here. Hopefully these will help, not confuse: http://new.washingtoncouncil.org/in...emart&Itemid=51 Clicking on Add to Cart will throw the button down because the title text moves left and makes it two lines. Possible div with a width that just got lessened? http://new.washingtoncouncil.org/in...emart&Itemid=51 The text is over the image but isn't in internet explorer... as you click the link it lessens the width. Any help on these three issues would be great. Bonus for solving... Why is this image getting an underline too? http://new.washingtoncouncil.org/in...emart&Itemid=51 The top left image in the product discription is linked and underlined in firefox but not in IE. I want the text underlined but not the image... If any of this is unclear, please ask me to clearify on anything. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
You caught me... I tried, and it is a paste job. I need help and I'm searching for it wherever it is to be found. It wont let new members post links! I'll try again...
I'll explain how to get to the four links in order: For all four of them, start at new.washingtoncouncil.org 1) click on the side menu bar on the item news. Proceed with post above 2) click on the side menu bar on the item shopper. Click on website membership. Click on Washington Council Membership and proceed with post above. 3) click on the side menu bar on the item shopper. Click on website membership. Proceed with post above. 4) click on the side menu bar on the item shopper. Click on website membership. Click on Washington Council Membership and proceed with post above.
ok, first things first, validate your code. there's 44 errors on a sample page i looked at. http://validator.w3.org/check?verbo...option=com_content&task=section&id=1&Itemid=2 firefox is picky, and that may solve the code. I am seeing the first thing you mention.. but its not just when you click a link, its when you click anywhere. do you have any onclick events anywhere? I didn't see any, but i didn't look around too much. Also, check out the steps to solving a Mystery Bug: http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/mys-bug.html
oh, and i'd also be willing to bet that its the marquee. if you click, but not release while its scrolling, it will actually keep moving left as the marquee does. pull that out. use flash or something instead. marquees are depreciated
I solved my problem. The table displaying the content didn't have a width assigned to it. Set that to the correct value all my problems are gone Thanks. I agree marquees are old school, but they have gotten better. That was not the problem nor was the validation. It simply didn't have a static width and i think anything in that content area that tried to use a % width was getting wacky since there was no baseline to start from.
PS. I will take a look and see if there are flash solutions out there for news scrollers in joomla. Thanks
