Cant Click On Blocks

Permalink
Hi All,

I cant seem to click on a block in edit mode. When I hover over it, it produces a grey block about 20px below and its a real mess getting the edit tool bar to drop down- this is happening on a site I am building for a client and also my own.

Can Anyone help?

Do both sites use the same style sheet? Could there be one of your styles affecting c5?

Feel free to post/send a link and I'll have a look.

here is the link to the style sheet, I started the project yesterday and yes the style sheet I am using is basically a development of the other one as the themes will be pretty similar.

I have a feeling this might be the issue, but the tutorial I once used to structure this theme worked fine for a long time before, unless I have absent mindlessly changed something.

Many thanks in advance.

/* HTML Tag Redefinition */
html, body {height: 100%;  }
body {
   background:#ffffff repeat; 
   padding: 0px; 
   margin: 0px;
}
img {border: 0px}
a { cursor:pointer}
label { font-weight:bold;}
fieldset { border:1px solid #ccc;}
/* error text class optionally provided by theme */
div.ccm-error-response {color: #f00; margin-bottom: 12px}
/* Page Structure / Navigation */
#page {


this is my new attempt, it is clean as I can get it header, main and footer. It is still happening. I go to the block to edit it and the hover appears in grey about 30px below the block making it impossible to edit it.

Hi PR,

I am off to Paris for the weekend so I won't be able to assist until Monday after this message.

It is hard to see what could be interfering without seeing the page. Though your minimal css would suggest that maybe it isn't the css?

Can I suggest that you install firefox and firebug then use that to analyse what is happening?

You should be able to click on the messed up section and see what is happening. It might also tell you if their is a javascript error or whether a file is failing to load.

If you haven't used firebug then I suggest you put in the effort to learn it as you will save yourself hours of time in the future.

Good luck and if you're still struggling I'll be back on Monday :)

Thanks,

I'm needing to crack on, so will just rip the site down and start again from scratch. I installed firebug which is basically chrome's inspect element tool by the looks of things.

I am not sure what the error sign looks like and it may be something to do with the JavaScript. Its happening across all of my sites at the moment and have updated the copies, cleared browser and site cache and still the same thing.

getting bothered by this now.

:)

Hi, I hope you resolved your issue, if not I may be able to help. This happens to me all the time since I have gotten really into bootstrap.

Concrete5 already has it own jquery library built in (you can find it in <-- theme/concrete/js --> folder. I noticed that everytime I had <script> that linked to the library that came with the theme or called on the CDN of someone else like google it would make my jquery in the site go haywire. Delete the <script> that is calling to the libraries that did not come with concrete5 and it should clear it up.

They would look something like this

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="js/jquery-1.8.0.min.js"><\/script>')</script>
        <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
