I am still running in circles altering the CSS file for IE, Firefox, and Safari. Here are the main issues:

In IE, the repeating pattern background on the left and right are also repeating behind the main body instead of my bgcolor.

In Firefox, the featured products area does not have the bgcolor specified or a border.

Also in Firefox, the middle of the Buy Now button is missing. I have specified the color in the CSS file.

Here is the testing URL: http://server5.alwayswebhosting.com/~mountain/store/home.php.

If ANYONE can lend a helping hand I would be SOOOO appreciative!

Not seeing the background pattern issue in IE. It stops right at the edges of the table as it looks like it should. Main body is black. Are you talking about the little stripe of pattern between the footer and the body?

Here is a screenshot of the background issue:

Are you calling the background color of that table cell by css? Looks like Safari has an issue with it. You could try the old school bgcolor="#000000"

[philipcox]

which file would i find the table to use the old school tag?

[balinor]

rectangle_top.tpl or home.tpl...

I am very close to fixing my problem thanks to your help. I still have a small space between the footer and body that has the background image instead of the bgcolor.

I also noticed a very odd error. In IE the repeating background image isnt the correct one. The new one shows up fine in Firefox and Safari, however IE displays an older version of the pattern. Where is this older image being called? I checked the images folder and the correct version is there.

That little space is an annoying one built into rectangle_bottom.tpl. I usually just remove this bit of code:

{if $config.Adaptives.browser eq 'MSIE' || $config.Adaptives.browser eq ''}
<TR><TD height="100%">[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</TD></TR>
{else}
<TR><TD>[img]{$ImagesDir}/spacer.gif[/img]</TD></TR>
{/if}

Sounds like a caching issue on your IE browser. Dump the cache and see what happens....
