unexplained behavior

Permalink
Text is running out of the content box and is unreadable. I need one of three things to happen on my website.

1. The text needs to automatically word wrap like I expect.

2. If I try to correct this by adding indentations, spaces, and lines, I need the changes to work for me. Why do my changes not stick when update them?

3. Disable the double spacing it forces me into. I thought single spacing was norm when hitting enter. Not here. I have to do edits in Notepad and copy and paste them into the edit box.

Text is running out of content box on the site or in TinyMCE editor?
Can you give the link to this site?

Both. Everything makes it run.
It's really preliminary athttp://www.shelbyinv.com/target/...
even the info is faked. It's just a formatting placeholder.

There is mess in template CSS - also typography.css and styles.css.
For instance you put header image (this city view) into #header-slogan wich has defined height:26px; (in styles.css, line 83). This picture is much heigher...
You said about text not wrapping - I think that everything is OK with text wrapping, only problem is that you have that main text in div .content, which has width:960px;.
div id="site_wrapper" is unclosed, id "content-area" is duplicated...
So template is very buggy.

Your answer is - fix the template. :)

Hi, there are a few errors in your templates markup, most notably you have unclosed wrapper elements so this will be causing a lot of funky behaviour as some of your divs wont know if they are closed or open.

Have a look at your validator results, correct the errors and you should see a more sane page.

Well thank you for pointing out the problems. I have more knowledge of HTML and when I went through the page source to locate and correct the problems. Everything in red is already there.

So I have no idea what could change to fix the theme. I'll just try to change themes and hope for the best.

Thanks everyone.
