Guest Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Hi, wonder if anyone has the answer? The images in question are tabs. When going from page to page when viewing in IE you can see them briefly while the page is changing, and they are clearly there when you "view source". All other images are ok, just these tabs. They show up fine in Firefox. I have looked in the forum, and seen posts about similar issues, but nothing that seems relevant to this. Thanks in advance Chris Simply Scent
germ Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 The /includes/header.php has the HTML all screwed up... :( I saved the source from the page and edited it locally until it appears A-OK in IE7 and Firefox 3.0 Here is what shows in the source now: <!-- header //--> <table align="center" border="0" width="945"> <tr> <td> <table width="945" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <img src="images/logo_1.jpg" width="179" height="170" alt=""> </td> <td class="searchboxarea" align="right"> Search <form name="" action="http://www.simplyscent.co.uk/shop2/advanced_search_result.php" method="get"><input type="text" name="keywords" size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: 160px"> <input type="image" src="includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_quick_find.gif" border="0" alt="Search" title=" Search "><input type="hidden" name="search_in_description" value="1"></form> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="languageboxarea"></td> </tr> </table> <table border="0" width=945 cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" valign="top" align="right" > <td align="center" valign="top"> <a href="index.php"><img src="images/homescent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="products_new.php"><img src="images/productsscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="login.php"><img src="images/loginscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="logoff.php"><img src="images/logoutscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="account.php"><img src="images/accountscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="shopping_cart.php"><img src="images/basketscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="contact_us.php"><img src="images/contactscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <img src="images/whichperfume.jpg" border="0"></a> </td> <!-- header_eof //--> Here is what works: <!-- header //--> <table align="center" border="0" width="945"> <tr> <td> <table width="945" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr> <td> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td rowspan="2"> <img src="images/logo_1.jpg" width="179" height="170" alt=""> </td> <td class="searchboxarea" align="right"> Search <form name="" action="http://www.simplyscent.co.uk/shop2/advanced_search_result.php" method="get"><input type="text" name="keywords" size="10" maxlength="30" style="width: 160px"> <input type="image" src="includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_quick_find.gif" border="0" alt="Search" title=" Search "><input type="hidden" name="search_in_description" value="1"></form> </td> </tr> <tr> <td class="languageboxarea"> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <table border="0" width=945 cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" valign="top" align="right" > <tr> <td align="center" valign="top"> <a href="index.php"><img src="images/homescent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="products_new.php"><img src="images/productsscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="login.php"><img src="images/loginscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="logoff.php"><img src="images/logoutscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="account.php"><img src="images/accountscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="shopping_cart.php"><img src="images/basketscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <a href="contact_us.php"><img src="images/contactscent.jpg" border="0"></a> <img src="images/whichperfume.jpg" border="0"></a> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> <!-- header_eof //--> If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Guest Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 The /includes/header.php has the HTML all screwed up... :( Hi - thanks so much for taking the time to look at that. I made the changes and although the images are now showing, in IE there's a black line which isn't showing in Firefox, and also the top right of the header looks disjointed. I've tried changing image sizes in the stylesheet and only succeeded in improving one image but making the other worse, so changed it back to where it was. Any idea why it should show like this? Do you think it's my images? Or is there something else I should be looking at? Thanks again, very grateful :) Chris.
germ Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 I've been doodling with this and let me tell you IE is NOT cooperating AT All!!! :'( I can make the black line the same color as the background but I haven't been able to remove it in IE. Stupid browsers anyway! :angry: Would that float your boat (at least for a while)? :unsure: If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Glad it's IE and not me (for a change!!) :)
germ Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 .languageboxarea { background-image: url(images/logo_3.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 764px; height: 140px; padding: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; } Find the .languageboxarea area in the stylesheet and alter it to the code above. Sometimes after changing the stylesheet in order to see any change 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. If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Managed to get rid of the little distortion in the top right with a similar change to the searchboxarea. At least it's tidier. Thanks a lot for your help :) Chris

Thanks a lot for your help :) Chris You're welcome. :) Sorry I couldn't do better that that right away. I just got back in from changing the oil in my pickup and my wife's car, and it's supposed to be hot and humid here today so I don't plan on doing a whole lot else outside. I'm working on what you posted in the other thread ("New products for..."), then I have a few things to do on a site I manage for a friend, and a small programming change on something else. I hope to do some more testing locally and see if I can find something better for your problem. If I do I'll be sure and post it.
