blocks disappeared in Firefox and Explorer. Still visible in Safari.
Permalink
I develop my sites on a Mac and Safari is my main testing browser. Once I have a site fleshed out, I then review it on Firefox on the Mac and I.E. and F.F. on a PC as well as a few other browsers later on. I've been through a few incompatibilities and have learned how to avoid many of them. I've done several sites now and so I can't seem to find what I did differently on this one to cause the trouble I'm having. It works fine on Safari on a Mac, but on Firefox or I.E., on PC or Mac, my navigation block and main body content block will not show. I've looked into the "pasting from Word" issue, which I'm well aware of and try to avoid, and can't find anything related to that. Can anyone offer me any other ideas? Here's the link to the problem page:http://americasminitruckparts.com...

I got this fixed but I'm still not sure why there was a problem. I had a second Content block with plain text in the header area. In just doing trial and fail guessing, I deleted it in case there were some hidden Word characters in it and everything was working. I then re-added the Content block with the word "TEST" in it and the vertical navigation and main content blocks again disappeared. So, I just deleted that text block and put the text directly into the header background image. It's obviously no longer editable but that's not a big deal here. So, I wish I knew the reason this simple change caused my blocks to disappear, but I can't say. If anyone has any ideas to add, please do. It may help the next person that runs into this issue.
You might have a stray div tag in your theme someplace, also if you are cut and pasting into the content block you could be sticking some markup in there as well, if you click the html button on the editor you can see if some junk got pasted in there
Thanks for the ideas, pvernaglia
I did check for extra markup code early on since I've seen that before, but nothing. And I work with the code in Dreamweaver which highlights errant divs. Also the code is very short so it's easy to scan for that, but nothing. I'm sure it's probably one of those things I could spend hours looking for and then, on finding it, kick myself because it is so simple. But, I owe, I owe, so back to work I go. I'll have to do the research later. ;-)
