Hello!

I had the clients cart looking great...they wanted to add a "shipping cost" table in the product display to motivate people to buy more and save on shipping. added the table in the footer and made sure i closed all my tags. when i went to load up the cart to take a look at it...the product page wasnt the same layout/colors and when an item is added to the cart, the "thanks for adding..." text is squished into the side of the page, and not the top under the title as it was before.

can someone tell me what i am missing to get it back to "normal"

Normal is the the product display page would be 2 column, and the back ground would be the gray color.

Thanks!
Scott

looks like you got it fixed.
there is one thing in your header that displays an artifact. check out...
</td></tr><tr>/<tr><tr></tr></TABLE>
notice the forwrd slash. it displays on the page.

Thanks for the reply...

Actually its still not "fixed" it works better, but my big concern is the "items in cart..." code that pops up when an item is added. this was centered under the "tow truck in a box" header, and now its all squished over on the left. any ideas?

and that artifact cannot be located. I have searched every thing i could find, but it does not appear in the code. when i view source i can sometimes find it, but it doesnt appear in the same place in the actual code.

thanks!

according to the broswer source it's in your store header file...

please post your store header, store footer and ppinc. maybe i can duplicate the cart summary thingy and fix it for you and figure out the artifact dealy.
i take it you want the cart summary to lay out on a single line and not be "boxed up" like it's displaying now, right?

Dan:

All my code is on my other computer...I will post it once it is up and running...

Originally, the summary was across the page under the "tow truck" stuff. i looked like this

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Items in cart:
View cart Checkout
subtotal:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope that show right with formatting...

thx

it doesnt look right there....

it was on one line centered "items in crt:"
next line aligned left View cart....then aligned right checkout
last line was centered "subtotal"

try this in your header...
</TD>
</tr>
<tr>
<TD WIDTH="620" valign=top>
<!--END HEADER TABLE-->

well that helped but there is more. here's what i have with the rendered page saved. i corrected the layout.



no need to post the header, footer and ppinc for now. just examine your table structure in the header file. note i ended and started a table row just before the end of the header. also note i changed the td width that encapsules the cart summary table.
let me know if you have any problems.
d

thanks for helping dan!

That script you gave me was from the rendered file, so it showed something in the cart when there isnt anything in the cart.

it looked right though. but when i launched that page, the "border" on the left side of the cart was missing.

here is the header file that i have (without your changes):

<!--BEGIN HEADER TABLE-->

The other thing i am wondering about is how to change the background in the center of the cart so that it is all gray, and just has the green on the sides?

Thanks!

try this...


not sure waht you mean about missing border. try the above then we'll take each issue one at a time.
