Variant Label Layout

[BilstonBob]

I have 2 different component options for a product. I've used VARIANTLABELs and VARIANTSELECTORs and a HTML table, to give the components a uniform layout. However, there's a <BR> tag appearing before the second VARIANTLABEL 'CPUs', which forces the label out of line with the top of its associated dropdown. I've attached a screen shot to show you what I mean.

I'm having a little bother finding the locality of the <BR> tag that forces the 'CPUs' label down a line. I've checked the Act_VariantAttributeName file and there's no sign of the <BR>, so I assume it's part of the HTML Text options....but which one?!

Anyone got any ideas.

There's a <br> at the end of the line in the default Act_VariantAttributeName. Double-check there.

Also it could be coming from the Separator option in the Attribute or Choice.

Hi Norman

No it's not the Act_VariantAttributeName, I'd already removed the <br> in there for other reasons.

I've just checked the component and attribute setup and removed any <br> or <p> tag options and the <BR>s just keep coming back in preview mode. It's funny because the 'Processor' option above CPU's has a <br> in the same place, yet I can use valign="top" in the <td> tag and it works just fine.

I think I might have to systematically go through every <BR> in Actinic's HTML text options, until I identify it.

OK I've found it! Why I didn't just do this in the first place is another mystery of my slightly skewed logic.

For anyone who comes across this in future the <BR> tag can be found in Design > Text > HTML and search for ID 2045. That's the little blighter that's just wasted me an hour or two.

Thanks for your help Norman.

When I'm looking for a hard-to-find tag in Design / Text I do the following (let's assume it a <BR> that needs locating):-

Use Design / Text / Search to locate every <BR>.

Replace the first one with <BR>1

Replace then second found with <BR>2

Repeat using 3,4,5, etc until all found.

Now Update or Preview the site and see what shows up where.

Finally go back into Design / Text and replace all <BR>n with just <BR>

That's an neat idea and would still have saved me valuable time. I went through them one by one putting a '*' next to them. I have to say I was extremely lucky as it was the second one I tried.
