Info Boxes just WONT show up

[Gimpz]

Hi again

 

I've got a problem:

 

None of my info boxes show up. I've gone through the column_right.php (and left) to check if any of them were commented out. Nope, all looked normal to me.

 

I tried to add a few contributions which add boxes to the column, but they're not working either.

 

Essentially I've only got one active column active (www.dell-direct.co.za) but nothing I do to add a box to that column works.

 

Please can someone guide me.

Hey Allan,

 

I visited your site and viewed the code. First off it looks as though you are using a template which will make it just about impossible for anyone here to truely help.

 

But what I noticed from viewing your code...

 

Your page is not calling for either the left or right columns.

 

It seems that your Browse by Categories is called out in your footer. :blink:

 

Here's the code I am referring to:

 

<!-- footer //-->


 </td>
 <td width=205 valign=top>
  <table cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
   <tr><td height=1></td></tr> 
   <tr><td height=29 class=ch8><span class=ch3><i>Browse by Categories</i></span></td></tr> 
   <tr><td height=13></td></tr>
<tr><td class=ch8><img src=images/m29.gif width=3 height=5 align=absmiddle>   <a class=ml3 href=http://dell-direct.co.za/index.php?cPath=39>Accessories</a></td></tr> <tr><td height=7></td></tr><tr><td class=ch8><img src=images/m29.gif width=3 height=5 align=absmiddle>   <a class=ml3 href=http://dell-direct.co.za/index.php?cPath=42>Desktops</a></td></tr> <tr><td height=7></td></tr><tr><td class=ch8><img src=images/m29.gif width=3 height=5 align=absmiddle>   <a class=ml3 href=http://dell-direct.co.za/index.php?cPath=50>Monitors</a></td></tr> <tr><td height=7></td></tr><tr><td class=ch8><img src=images/m29.gif width=3 height=5 align=absmiddle>   <a class=ml3 href=http://dell-direct.co.za/index.php?cPath=38>Notebooks</a></td></tr> <tr><td height=7></td></tr><tr><td class=ch8><img src=images/m29.gif width=3 height=5 align=absmiddle>   <a class=ml3 href=http://dell-direct.co.za/index.php?cPath=40>Printers</a></td></tr> <tr><td height=7></td></tr><tr><td class=ch8><img src=images/m29.gif width=3 height=5 align=absmiddle>   <a class=ml3 href=http://dell-direct.co.za/index.php?cPath=41>Projectors</a></td></tr> <tr><td height=7></td></tr><tr><td class=ch8><img src=images/m29.gif width=3 height=5 align=absmiddle>   <a class=ml3 href=http://dell-direct.co.za/index.php?cPath=43>Servers</a></td></tr> <tr><td height=7></td></tr><tr><td class=ch8><img src=images/m29.gif width=3 height=5 align=absmiddle>   <a class=ml3 href=http://dell-direct.co.za/index.php?cPath=44>Software</a></td></tr>

 

Check to see if the above code is listed in your footer.php, if not it might just be hard-coded in your index file.

Thanks so much! That is correct!

 

Satish added me on MSN and we chatted through it and he found the same as you.

 

Finally got some of the boxes to show! Which is great!

 

Q: Why don't my infoboxes have headings? They're just stacking below each other with no headings?
