Hello,
For some reason my K2 item in my ja_community_plus template forces the right position down to the bottom of the page. I have identified how to fix the problem in firebug, but when I go to the file to fix the problem, the file has the right css, which firebug seems not to be picking up.
When I use firebug, I get the following information about the html and css it is applying to produce the page as shown in the screenshots, which I will include down below. I also provide the screen shots of what firebug is telling me. Then I show the screenshot of Dreamweaver reading the file Firebug says it is reading to produce the page. This dreamweaver screenshot sort of contradicts what firebug is telling me. Let me lay it out more clearly.
In the Firebug screenshot, you will see highlighted in the html window the code it is reading for the mainbody of the page (the entire width of the middle block I think it is):
<div id=”ja-mainbody” style=”width:78.5%”>
Then below, you see the html code it is reading for the main article portion of the main body:
<div id=”ja-main” style=”width:100%”>
The problem is that these two widths are switched. Instead of the main article nesting in 78.5% of the entire mainbody. The mainbody only fills up 78.5% of the website envelope and the mainarticle is assigned 100% of the main body, forcing the right position, which is supposed to get 21.5% of the mainbody down to the bottom of the page.
When you look over at the CSS side of firebug, you will see that it is reading line 66 of the layout.css file (I will show the file path in a moment) to get the #ja-mainbody {parameters. The specific parameter it is reading, however, is only “float: left;” The width element is not there. Instead, firebug tells me it is getting the width from “element.style { width:78.5%;} but does not show the file it is coming from.
When I click on firebug’s blue hotlink for layout.css (line 66), the file path is:
www/plugins/system/jat3/jat3/basethemes/default/css/layout.css.
When I look at this file in dreamweaver, what I discover is that the width parameter is correctly stated as 100%, not 78.5% as defined by “element.style” as reported by firebug. It also shows that “ja-main” is correctly sized with “width: 78.5%;” A screenshot of this code as viewed with dreamweaver is attached.
I don’t know why browsers are not reading this code, but only the “float: left;” portion of #ja-mainbody. I don’t know how to reverse the two width percentages, but when I do it in firefox, the page looks the way it is supposed to. I suspect I created a “conflict”, but to tell the truth, I don’t yet really know what that means!
Can anyone help?
Thank you!
Hank
