Text/refresh issue....

[JayMa]

Hello all,

 

I am new to this forum, so, forgive me if this topic is elsewhere. I have looked and searched the internet and these forums, but cannot find an answer to my problem. My site is still a work in progress, but, the one thing that is really frustrating me is I cannot figure out why the text in my shopping cart box and in my search box disappears if I click refresh in my browser a few times. I had been playing with changing the colors between green and yellow and I am sure I messed something up, but where? Seems to me as if the text "disappears" because it is changing between yellow and green. Maybe green in one file and yellow in the other? I have learned from scratch through trial and error and reading forums and tutorials, but, this one is frustrating the living biscuits outta me. My website addy is www.webejant.com. Please, someone, go there and refresh several times and keep your eyes on the cart and search box and hopefully someone can tell me where this "learn as you go" kinda gal messed up. Please? Thankyou. :(

It doesn't do it in IE, just Firefox...

 

Probably because in your style sheet your color tags are mucked up about 15 places:

 

  background: #;

One more:

 

TD.main, P.main {
 font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
 font-size: 12px;
 line-height: 1.5;
 color: #F9F9B6;
 border: 0px;
 border-style: solid;
[b]  border-color: #;[/b]
 border-spacing: 0px;
}

Good morning,

 

Thankyou so much for helping.

 

I took all the offending css out, but, the text in my search box still goes in and out and I just noticed the pricing in my what's new box does too. The cart count seems to be ok though now. I must have messed alot of stuff up. I am usually really not this "stoopid". I am trying to learn php and css on my own, but, just need a little guidance. I appreciate any and all help. Is there anything else that could be doing the "disappearing act"?

[JayMa]

Umm....oops, the cart contents IS still doing it. ggrrrr

Try adding the color to this style in the stylesheet:

 

.boxText { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; [b]color: #F9F9B6;[/b] }

Sometimes after changing the stylesheet you have to hold the <Ctrl> key down while doing a page refresh in the browser to force the browser to reload all contents from the server, including the newly changed stylesheet.

 

This works with IE and Firefox.

Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

 

I have refreshed about 20 times after adding the last suggestion and nothing has "done a Houdini!!"

 

You, my friend, are a wonderful human being.

 

Thankyou for your help.

[germ]

You're welcome, Ma'am.

:blush:

 

You, my friend, are a wonderful human being.

I'd say you fall into that category.

:rolleyes:

[JayMa]

Uh oh....that was just the prob with the main page. The price disappears on this page with refresh a few times. http://webejant.com/index.php?cPath=31_32

[JayMa]

Maybe I should have checked all my pages for my "stoopidity" before I posted. lol Sorry.

[germ]

TD.productListing-data {
 font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
 font-size: 12px;
[b]  color: #F9F9B6;[/b]
}

Add the color there.

[JayMa]

You're welcome, Ma'am.

:blush:

You're such a nice guy. Especially after I feared posting here, in fear of the response that I may have received. I've been reading the forums, and some people can be a bit "harsh".

[germ]

I try not to be an a$$.

 

I've probably been "harsh" a few times, but I really felt they deserved it.

 

And I see a lot of times replies are that way when they shoudn't be.

 

We're all just normal people, prone to mistakes and misinterpretations.

[JayMa]

Ok, fixed it on that page too. Now I feel really "stoopid". I probably could have eventually realized that one on my own. But, thankyou, once again. Learning on your own gives you a feeling of pride. Atleast for me it does. Every once in awhile, we all need help though. I'm glad you were there when I needed it. Now, enough of bothering you. Back to trying on my own. Your help won't be forgotten. Back to work for me....I am FAR from done with this site. Have a wonderful day!! :D

I agree entirely. But you made my mistakes alot easier. Good day to you Jim. ;)
