Custom Theme

[dscontroller]

A little help if poss!

I have built a custom theme in Dreamweaver in css and this works very well locally in both IE7 and Firefox at this point in time.

I have used a method called 'onetruelayout' from positioniseverything.net to force the content divs to the full height of any page.

I have registered the design in Actinic for all pages yet, in ie7 and firefox 1.07 the urls - View Cart - Checkout - Contact Us - Login all fail as the css does not appear to work!

Now for the painful bit - if you visit stringer-family.co.uk you will find that it renders correctly in ie7 but forces the right hand column down the page in Firefox. It may be something in Actinic which I cannot locate which forces the alteration. Any ideas would be gratefully received

Thanks for any help in advance.

Regards,
David

Just spotted that the file is looking for the css in the cgi-bin - Would a copy normally be posted there rather than acatalog?

I can't see BASEHREF in your generated code. i would guess this accounts for the loss of css.

It might be the same as my problem - see: http://community.actinic.com/showthread.php?t=22946. Was told to report it to support but I dont have cover. Let me know if you fix it.

p.s. I do have href in mine, but it says ""... so might not be the same prob.

Hi Jo,

You are right - I've put the Basehref in and hey presto - the css works in the checkout etc.

Still stuck with the right hand column drifting aimlessly down below!


Hi Paul,

Thanks for your comments, but having done as shown above it all works ok now.

[dscontroller]

Hi Jo,

#rightBar {
float: right;
width: 170px;
border-right-width: 7px;
border-right-style: solid;
border-right-color: #A2D0F0;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 5px;
border-left-width: medium;
border-left-style: solid;
border-left-color: #A2D0F0;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #1B71AF;
padding-top: 15px;
text-align: center;
margin-bottom: -3000px;
padding-bottom: 3000px;

hth,
David

Hi Jo,

Found it! I'd obviously knocked off a } curly bracket or something else had eaten it whilst I wasn't looking.

Replaced and all appears to be present and correct with the exception of Actinic's own css which I pasted in the custom file. Is now behaving in ie7 and firefox. Ah well another day of fun.

Thanks very much for your help.
