osCommerce

The e-commerce.

My first Oscommerce Store...What do you think?

Recommended Posts

I was asked a few weeks ago by a local store owner to build him a website. After doing some research I found Oscommerce and decided to try using it. This is what I have Lion's Clothing after about 2 weeks of messing around. The products haven't been added yet but there are a few fake ones to serve as examples.

 

I wasn't attempting to make the store really fancy or anything I just wanted to give it a little bit of personality. The main picture of the store is just a substitute until I can actually take a picture of his store.

 

Please let me know what you think and give me any suggestions that you have.

 

Thank you

Its caused by your background image tag in the various CSS styles like infoBoxHeading in your stylesheet.css:

 

You have:

 

background: url('http://www.lionsclothing.com/chair.jpg'); color: #ffffff;

 

The standards compliant way to do this would be:

 

background: #ffffff url(/chair.jpg);

 

Or:

 

background-image: url(/chair.jpg);

background-color: #ffffff;

 

You just have a syntax issue on your stylesheet.css. You can view the background css style rules at the W3C school here:

My advice comes in two flavors- Pick the one that won't offend you.

Thanks for letting me know about the CSS issue. I hadn't had the chance to test it with anything other than IE.

 

I think I changed what you told me too but Mozilla doesn't seem to recognize the CSS at all. Any ideas?

 

Thanks

Yeah bud, remove the '' around the url in the style.

 

Do this:

 

url(/chair.jpg)

 

Not this:

 

url('/chair.jpg')

 

And there really is no point in putting the full URL, although I don't really think that matters. "/chair.jpg" is the same thing as "http://blahblah.com/chair.jpg". Putting a leading slash before any url means webserver document root.

Also, the reason you are dropping some of your background colors in mozilla:

 

You are missing some of your #'s before the hex color codes:

 

.infoBox {

background-color: FEFAE6;

}

 

.infoBoxContents {

background-color: FEFAE6;

font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;

font-size: 10px;

}

 

Should be "#FEFAE6" not "FEFAE6"
