  • appearance of html boxes in strange places

    Hi there, I have suddenly started experiencing boxes that I create for buttons appearing in totally different places on a page than where I drag them to. Usually way way down lower than where I put them. I have uninstalled blue voda (and deleted as load of important files along with it. doh.) and reinstalled. This has not helped. Any thoughts anyone? Many thanks

    And now even photos are appearing in bizarre places when previewed even when I set and lock them to x=0 y=0 before previewing.?

      This may or may not be a solution for you, but have you added any "external" html to the page(s)? I had a similar situation a few weeks back (html graphics were showing up way down at the bottom right hand corner of the site, outside the template), and it was caused by a simple piece of code I'd added.

      BTW, I love your signature. LOL

        Yes, you might be having some sort of code conflict.

          Been away for a couple of days in Crans Montana watching the Euro Masters Golf and hopes this would sort itself out....no such luck..:o(

          Now I am stuck. I have made an index page with my basic layout then hit save as 18 times to come up with my pages. Now I start editing each one. I cut n paste links in from commission junction for example to make click banners. and when I preview this page the text, links are way all over to the right and way down as my old mate racefan20 says.

          Not knowing a code conflict from a conflict of interest I have published my index which is ok and then my tuning page and you can see the layout probs...

          The performance parts links is placed under the red banner on my construction page but appears way down ...??

            The code for that is in the wrong place. Here is what you need to do.

            1) Download a free HTML editor. This one is very good: Aracnophilia. Install it on your PC.

            2)Open up the file tuning.html.

            3)Goto line 80 on the file - the code controlling the element you want to move is between line 80 and 91 - here it is below.

            ##################################


            <DIV style="Z-INDEX: 24; LEFT: 198px; WIDTH: 351px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 258px; HEIGHT: 83px" align=left>
            <FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt" face="Times New Roman" color=#000000>Performance Products specializes in
            Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Chevrolet/GMC, Toyota, Ford and Jeep parts and accessories. <BR></FONT></DIV><DIV style="Z-INDEX: 25; LEFT: 545px; WIDTH: 221px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 249px; HEIGHT: 94px" align=left><A onmouseover="window.status='http://www.performanceproducts.com/default.aspx?referer=1943';return true;" onmouseout="window.status=' ';return true;" href=http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1770760-10366411target=_blank>Performance Products</A><IMG height=1 src="" width=1 border=0>
            </DIV>


            ##################################

            Copy the code and then go back up the page to line 60 or there abouts - look for this piece of code on the page.

            <DIV style="position:absolute; left:260px; top:56px; width:381px; height:39px; z-index:12" align="center" align="top"><FONT style="FONT-SIZE:10pt" color="#000000" face="Arial"><B>You have found the ride pimpin section to the LeasingXchange - Welcome!!</B></FONT>
            </DIV>

            Paste the copied code on the next line after the above code in your HTML file.

            You always come up with a problem of this nature with a WYSIWG HTML editor at some point.

              Thee should be upgraded from newbie to guru Mr. neworldisorder. I will give it a go but still not sure as to why it formats as per instructions then goes awol with a certain piece of html.

              Cheers for the fix....I will feel the force and cut n paste and let you know the result....

              Here's one I did yesterday without freaky formatting...
