My b2evolution Version: 2.x
hello! i'm pretty new to this forum but i've been a longtime fan as i peruse through for tips and tricks!
however, i'm having a really frustrating problem with a blog that i am currently designing..
my template utilizes floating columns.
everything looks great on my PC in both Mozilla and IE6..
it even looks fine on a MacBookPro in Mozilla.
but for some reason the center column is truncated when I use MacBooks!? (on Mozilla)
i've searched throughout this forum and others around the web and i've just come to a deadend.. so i thought i'd ask the pro's directly!
this is my stylesheet (i've removed a lot except for the basic structure div classes..)
div#wrapper {
background:#cccc99;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
}
div#MainPage{
background:#cccc99;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
}
div.pageHeader {
background: url(img/HomeHeader.jpg) no-repeat bottom center;
width: 1000px;
height: 140px;
border-left: 1px solid;
border-right: 1px solid;
}
div.pageHeaderLinks {
background: #990000;
border: 1px solid;
width: 1000px;
height: 30px;
}
/*Left of Post Box*/
.bSideBar {
width: 230px;
float: left;
position:absolute;
overflow: hidden;
border-left: 1px solid;
/* background: #900; */
}
/*Right of Post Box*/
.bChatBox {
position: relative;
width: 280px;
float: right;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;
background-color:#CCCC99;
border-right: 1px solid;
}
.bPosts {
margin-left: 230px;
margin-right: 280px;
overflow: hidden;
}
here's my template (again, i've removed all of the php code and lots of the excess tags for readability)
<div id="wrapper">
<div class="pageHeader">
</div>
<div class="pageHeaderLinks">
<table id="Table_01" width="1000" height="30" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

please yell at me if i've screwed something up royally or if you need me to post more of the code.. :)
i can't thank you guys enough! i'm just at a loss of what to do now..
Hi moodecaribou. Welcome to active participation in the forums ;)
First goodest question to ask and ensure is a "yes" answer is this: does your blog page have valid xhtml and css? google xhtml validator and css validator to find the pages that'll let you know, and then take care of what you can - if there is anything to take care of.
Oh and this is only a shot in the dark. Basically all I know about MacBooks is they're books by a guy named Mack. Or something like that. BUT valid xhtml and css are pretty much the place to start with display problems.
I think. Usually gets me in trouble but I do it anyway.
