Another layout problem

[herefordmaps]

Hello,

I still have quite a major problem with my layout...the footer should appear at the bottom of the page, but it's appearing in the top right.

I have un-compacted my HTML so it's more legible. The template-page system is driving me crazy.

Someone please help!

Thanks,

HMC

I can't see the problem but it's almost certainly problems with your table tags again.

It helps if you can direct us to a specific url.

Ok...

For example...

Go here:

http://www.themapcentre.com/acatalog...sles_maps.html

all is relatively fine.

Go here, one section in:

http://www.themapcentre.com/acatalog...50_000_34.html

again, all fine.

go here, to one of the product sections:

http://www.themapcentre.com/acatalog...slands_33.html

And it's all wrong!

OK. I found a validator that would look at your code and it says there'a missing <TR> tag on line 118 (just after the <table> tag).

I have to say though that your code isn't the tidiest I've seen. That last page is about 250K Bytes, and that's without the images.

Fix the TR thing, and then take a look at your code. there's lots of stuff there that shouldn't be appearing.

thanks for the advice. Line 118 of which file?

The problem is, I didn't make the site, so it's pretty hard to decipher what my predecessor did.

OK new problem. The problem must lie in the Act_Primary template, but I can't isolate it. Changing various things seems to fix a problem on one page, but not on another.

Line 118 of this one: http://www.themapcentre.com/acatalog...slands_33.html

Here's the offending bit:

<p><a name="top">
<input type=HIDDEN name=RANDOM value="NETQUOTEVAR:RANDOM">
</a> <Actinic:TEMPLATE type="begin" filename="C:\Program Files\Actinic Ecommerce v6Sarah\Sites\Site1\Act_ProductBody.html"/>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<TR>
<td width="650>

I highlighted where the <TR> should be in red.

I don't know which template this is in, you'll have to look through your templates to find it. And the stuff about templates in the code snippet shouldn't be there. I've no idea where it comes from.

PS. The problem with open/missing tags is that the problem can appear to be somewhere else as the browser is waiting until it gets to the next tag to do the formatting.

Thanks for your help...I eventually managed to find a backup of one of the templates...now my problem is, since de-compacting the HTML to make it easier to read, the images in the header have disaligned themselves. Oh joy!
