Getting so AGGRAVATED with alignment problems...

garysgal · November 18, 2006

My site is live, and I've been fighting alignment problems for weeks... I've compared clean copies of OSC with mine, can't find added <tr>'s or <td>'s, etc. etc. etc....

Two big huge problems (yes, I've posted this before but now I have new issues): my "shopping cart" box drops to align with the product description, and my product description is not at the top of the page, it drops to the middle if the description is short. See HERE. If the product description is large, the description aligns properly (see HERE), although the shopping cart box still drops.

It's like the valign is set to middle somewhere, but I've searched every alignment and changed everything to "top", and still no changes...

Can anyone help with this frustrating issue? Thanks so much!

This is the offending image.

If you do not want that Image that large reduce it or white it out and make it 1px by 1px Then It will not show.

You did not say if you want it there or not.

Thanks for giving it a shot... but that's not it either... I changed ALL of the "table_background" images to 1x1, and still have the alignment problem... sigh.

On the one that you say the discription that has dropped is just missing a discription title.

The page you say is correct has this discription

12-MONTH CALENDARS, 13 PAGES

The text for the discription is alined on both pages but one is missing the title.

Even if it has the title (see here and here), it's still not aligning at the top...

I frankly just don't get it... like I said, I used my Beyond Compare and matched the product_info.php pages, no extra tables or other data are in mine... and I'm thinking my shopping cart alignment is a "stump the panel" too...

Is it too early to start drinking?

Ok I see what the problem is! You have incorrectly closed your table see below in red and the the redo below

<tr>

<td class="main" colspan="2">Available Options:</td>

</tr>

</table>

</td>

<tr>

<td align="center"> Quantity:<input type="text" name="cart_quantity" value="1" size="6">

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</tr>

</table>

<tr>

<p align="center"><font size="4" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>CONTINUOUS

<p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><font size="2">Tired

of remembering Aunt Bessie's birthday? Your parent's anniversary? How

about a client's birthday?</font></strong></font></p>

If you are right, I swear you'll join two others with their names tattoo'ed on me... lol... I'll give that shot after dinner!

Nope. Changed teh code in product_info.php to this:

<td align="center"> <?php echo TEXT_ENTER_QUANTITY . ":" . tep_draw_input_field('cart_quantity', $pf->adjustQty(1), 'size="6"'); ?>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

</table>

</TD>

</TR>

<TR>

<?php

}

?>

and got this:

Totally running off the screen...

Ok another go at this.

This code is from the Mini-Calendars ( alined to the top correctly)

<TR>

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This bottom code is from the ones that do not aline to the top. There is a line in your code missing from the ones that have dropped down discriptions. The <TR>is missing along with the

<table width="70%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="2"> this line

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

<p align="center"><font size="4" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong>CONTINUOUS

CARD SERVICES</strong></font></p>

<p align="center"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><strong><font size="2">Tired

Try adding the missing code and see what happens

If all else fails; kinda tedious but , one at a time add a border attribute to each tr and td tags one at a time until you find the one that extends to the right above the right column. then place the correct closing tag. Could take a while but it works.
