Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Hello,

Wordpress newbie here...I'm curious as to why there seems to be display issues between firefox and ie 7.0 for my website running the latest version of Atahualpa:

http://www.edmonton-insurance-quotes...-car-insurance

Firefox works excellent, but in Ie there are two issues:
1) The two buttons are not on the same row as they should be;
2) There is a white space about 4 pixels high running through the header image.

Also, is there any difference in support for diamond vs gold members? Just wondering...

Thanks in advance!

In Atahuala 3.6.4 IE7 Emulation is off by default but can be turned on in ATO>Style & configure Layout.

The two button aren't aligned side be side in Firefox for me. Do you have the left one set to float left?

oops float fixed it...thank you very much!

Thank you for the prompt reply...could you tell me if I make a donation to you specifically do I get gold status?


Edit:
Hmmm now the buttons are not lined up correctly (they are in firefox but not in IE). Also I turned out IE7 compatibility but the whitespace is still there...I suck at this :P

You will get Gold status either way you donate.

With regards to your images I would like to see the code you have in that post for those images. You could use a table with two cells which should make things line up properly. Sometimes the floats and such don't play nice with different browsers.

donated earlier today!

here's the code (I've simplified things to try to make it easier):


<div id="brandingArea">
<a href="http://www.edmonton-insurance-quotes.ca/a-quote"><img title="Save hundreds on car insurance with the Discount Checklist" alt="Save all you can on car insurance with our Discount Checklist" src="/img/autoProductButton.gif" style="float: left; padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;padding-right:0px;"></a>
<div id="getRateQuoteAuto"></div>
</div>


and the corresponding css:


#brandingArea {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 10px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-right: 0px;
width: 559px;
}

#getRateQuoteAuto {
background: url("/img/autoProductButton.gif") no-repeat top right scroll transparent;
display: block;
float: left;
height: 130px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: 5px;
padding-right: 5px;
position: relative;
width: 250px;
}




I just don't understand why it shows up in Firefox as even but not in IE...I have a feeling it may have to do with Display: Block but when I change it to inline the background just disappears altogether...

update: I can get the two images to line up by changing the following in the css:

#brandingArea {
float: left;
margin: 0 0 5px;
padding-top: 15px;
padding-bottom: 0px;
padding-left: 3px;
padding-right: 0px;
width: 555px;
height: 130px;
}




However, I don't understand why this works...aren't both the image on the left and the background image to the left both inside the same container, so shouldn't changing the padding of the parent class affect both images equally?

I looks like you have an empty paragraph after the second image. In the HTML editor take out any empty lines just before the first line of text.

You also have the divs set up in a way that is not clear to me but I think the quick fix is the empty paragraph.

THANK YOU for solving the issue!

I can't believe it was all because of an empty paragraph...lol...

Looks like it's an issue with Wordpress's html editor; it automatically put in a paragraph even though there was no <br> or <p>...weird!!

In the visual editor hitting enter puts in a paragraph break. In the HTML editor hitting enter puts in a line break. WordPress doesn't show those tags in the HTML editor. There are ways to show those tags but I find them distracting and find that just being aware of how the editor works is enough.
