Default Re: Changing static pages
View the source of that page...you'll see you have two <title> tags, two <body> tags, etc. Not sure where you have added that extra code, but you'll want to fix that first to see if that is the issue.

Being involved in genealogy for many years, we know that one of the only ways that people can get pictures or transcriptions from there relatives graves, was to either pay someone privately to research Cemeteries or use Friends of the Cemetery.</p>
<p align="justify">Either way, it involved many hours of mails, letters, phone calls etc. These people do a fantastic job, but they can only spread thereselves so far. That is why we decided to offer this facility online. The obvious benefits are both cost and speed. Most people want this information quickly, so where better than online.</p></td>

The body tag has to be there to display the disclaimer popup.


and the code for the home.tpl

Yes, there is your problem. You have a <head> tag and a <body> tag in head.tpl. Those should only be on customer/home.tpl.

Default Re: Changing static pages
removed those balinor, but still the same. totally different in IE7 & FF. At the simplest level. what is the correct way to set up your pages in x-cart so your site is uniform in all browsers. Thanks. peter

Default Re: Changing static pages
You need to fix the errors in your code and make the site W3C compliant. Right now you have 14 critical errors and 53 warnings. Start by fixing those and you'll stand a better chance of getting the site to display uniformly. By default, X-Cart is compliant...but the custom code you have added is really messing things up.

Default Re: Changing static pages
Just remember that anything that is supposed to go in the <head> tag needs to be added to customer/home.tpl, not head.tpl. Run your code through a validator to make sure you are following the standards, and use css as much as you can (as opposed to tables). Keep your JavaScript called externally instead of adding it to the templates. Good luck!

Default Re: Changing static pages
Balinor. just follow on from yesterday. re-installed cart. still getting 33 validation errors with clean install.from w3. only using home.tpl for headtags etc. am i correct in assuming that any javascript that uses the head tag needs to be placed in the home.tpl? how does this relate onload commands etc where a body is needed? i have also placed all javascript in external js files, but cannot get them to display. code is fine if i run it direct from page, but not as external js file. Any ideas? Thanks. Peter
