Guest Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 What a day I have had! Went to my parents' home for Christmas in another state....wanted to show them the new website. Dad's using Windows ME and his browsers were ancient. My website wouldn't appear properly on either Navigator or Explorer. Ultimately, it turned out to be a problem with my webhost, but, in the meantime.....I was there upgrading his browsers. He had Navigator 4.2 and now he has 7.2 He had IE 5.0 and now has IE 6.0 Webhost fixed the problem and the new browsers display my website perfectly. Thing is.....when you click on one of my items for sale in Navigator 7.2.....it displays the item description AND the photo at the top right side where the item description begins. But in IE 6.0.....only the item description...no photo. Why is that? And is it something I can fix? I'd really like to have the photos appear when people click to view the descriptions, so they don't lose track of what they're clicking on to view. Is it something I can adjust in the Admin panel? Or....is it more complicated? Any help is appreciated! Merry Christmas everybody! Andrea
Guest Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 You should post alink to your site so we can see what the issues are - it's also a good way to get people to look at your site in different browsers. :) TJ :) What a day I have had!

Please visit My Website Let me just mention, too.....that I'm not using any code whatsoever to attach photos to the item descriptions. No img src HTML code, nothing at all. The photos just.....appear....when using Navigator 7.2 But, they do not when using IE 6.0 Hope that helps! Andrea
Guest Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 ok, I think your html in the product descriptions is causing this. Try taking out the table tags and only using the rows and columns, lfrom this: <table> <td> <tr> to this <td> <tr> Hopefully there are no <div> tags either. Hope that helps. :) Hi!

I took out the table tags, and now the photo appears in IE 6.0 Thing is......I wanted to have a background color for the item description of silver.....black text on a silver background. I removed the table tag at the beginning.....the table width=100% but left the code of bkground="silver" and it doesn't show now. The background of my item description is now that of the background I applied to my homepage.....it's not the worst thing I ever saw, but.....is there any way I can insert a different background color to the item description....and still have the photo display? Please go back to my website Here and use the search box on the left hand side of the screen and type in 10-26-93 That's the date of the magazine I altered in order for the photo to appear. Is there any way to insert a different background for that text description and not screw up the photo showing? On that note.......lol.....is there an easy to way to change almost 300 item descriptions at once? Oh my..........honestly, I'm really pleased to see the photo appearing! Andrea

Guest Posted December 26, 2004 Posted December 26, 2004 No problemo :) <tr> <td bgcolor="#eeeeee"> Looking at the other issue :) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Andrea Your going to have to learn a bit about the stylesheet. Do some searching and find out what makes that table tick in the stylesheet and edit it to include a background image. or color or whatever... On the descriptions. ummmm no :) One by one either way you do it. Unless you want to do a mysql dump of your database and then edit it there and tthen restore your database. All I can think of no. Have a nice XMas night - Time to get off this puter :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: .

I did the td bgcolor=xxxxxx thing and it moved the item description to the far right side of the page and all of the boxes in the right column ended up back in the left column....when the item description ended. Not very pretty. So, I've fixed it so it's just tr and td, no color, and left it at that. Not bad, really. And I can always change the background image anytime. The only thing bugging me about how it looks now is the fact that the photo is positioned to the far right side, above the item description. I'd like to have it centered atop of the item description. Know how? Hope you check back in to this thread again tomorrow sometime. In the meantime....I'll be spending my Sunday removing table markers.....over and over. LOL. Honestly, I'm thrilled to see a photo there now. I don't use anything but IE 6.0, so I've just assumed all along, that photos would not appear with your item descriptions unless you inserted code to PUT them there. Really happy to find out that's not true! Thanks again! Andrea :P
