Having trouble with 'Browse Categories' Format...

[hazchem]

First let me apologise if this has been covered before. I'm sure the solution is relatively simple. I did search for a couple of hours before writing this.

Every Ounce Counts - I have added my categories, and some fields have more sub-cat's then others. The table of categories is offset to the right. If anyone knows which code I need to change in order to get them centralised it would help a lot. (Even spacing left and right...)

Do I need to have the same amount of Char in the description of each maybe ?

Additionally, I'm curious as to whether or not to have the Cats on the front page... Becuase I have so many, am i restricting my potential Featured positions ?


Kindest Regards...

More info..

I have just downloaded Firefox and it works fine...

I am running windows7 with new IE... Maybe thats the prob...

If someone could let me know how it shows up in other browser's that would help. Thanks.

Firefox tends to be more forgiving in it's rendering when HTML/XHTML syntax is wrong.

It appears that you have modified the home.tpl file and somehow have broken the balance of your XHTML elements. I believe you may have deleted the table end that should be before your new listings portion which in the home.tpl file starts like this:

<div id="newlistings">
	<h2>{$smarty.const.LANG_FEATURED_LISTINGS}</h2>

That's where I would look to resolve this.

Thanks Mike,

I had been playing with the table size.

Looking at your code you are mixing html with xhtml. You should try to stick to xhtml as this is how the template was defined.

Use W3C XHTML to validate your code (you have 173 errors reported) and it will help you to discover the exact problem.

I think you may need to use a <div class="clear"></div> in your home.tpl file as opposed to the incorrect xhtml <br><br> that you have used to separate the tables. The advice above nonetheless still stands.
