margin property issue in Google Chrome
 

Hello,

I'm trying to get a left and right margin of 20px, so this the coding I have in my main.css

html,body {
height: 100%;
background-color: #ffffff;
margin-right: 20px;
margin-left: 20px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
border: 0px none;
}

It works fine with I.E. and Firefox, but not with Google Chrome; the body overlaps the right side of the screen and there is no right margin present.

I also tried "margin: 0px 20px;" and even tried using padding to get the job done, but with the same results.

Is there something I should add to /main.GC.css ?

My xcart version is 4.3.0 I forgot to change my old settings...

Many thanks, Colin

Hi totaltec,

http://www.miniatures-workshop.com/

Problem is the store is closed and I wouldn't want to leave it open for very long.

Since posting my original message I edited /main.GC.css to give the margin a value of 0 and it works ok, but changing the margin to 20 in /main.GC.css give the same results as before.

OK just hidden the categories and opened the shop.

Thanks, Colin

Okay, now I don't see the problem. :-) You may have to explain it to me more in depth. First off, you are applying your margin to both html, and body, so you are effectively getting a margin of 40 px on both sides. This dispalys fine for me in both chrome and FF.

See attached overlay of the two browsers, there are other inconsistencies, but the margins seem fine? I am using Windows 7.

Hi again,

Since it was showing up correctly on your system I decided to mess around with my browser settings and found that a bittorrent add-on was causing all the problems. I have disabled it and everything is showing up fine now. Wow, such a simple thing that wasted many hours of my time...

Thanks very much for you help.

I've been hearing that a lot lately. Spent some hours of my own trying to figure out why a clients browser would not display a site properly. :-)
