Strange Underlining On Fast Lane Checkout

loopsound · #1 11-08-2006, 06:37 AM

I am getting an underline when I hover over the form that allows a new customer to register when using the Fast Lane Checkout. For example I click the "click here to register " link the form appears in the FLC but when I mouse over the form all text and asterix are underlined.

I have checked through templates and .css but cannot find an obvious solution. Anyone know how to solve this issue?

Any help gratefully recieved.

Did you buy your template or is it stock/modified from original code?

We bought the template, it is the crystal blue skin, and although we have done modifications nothing we have done should have affected the checkout. We have merely customised the skin and edited some labels. Tha layout is the same. Any idea where I should be looking?

There's probably an open tag, caused by a CSS class... I had to sort one out on my skin as well... What you have to do is get real friendly with webmaster mode, and examine all the nested files... you are looking for a class that doesn't close - which in my case, allowed a hover to underline all text on the page (regardless if it had a link or not).

It took me about an hour. Ugh.

Did you get this solved, because I have the same issue ... and my eyes are going bleary through staring at the multitude of code looking for this open tag...

carpeperdiem: when you say 'a class that doesn't close' what exactly do you mean? An issue in the css file, a tag's class attribute not closed with a quote properly, or a tag not closed properly?

Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

What I meant was a tag with a class associated with it that didn't have a closing tag.

I wish I remembered which one it was -- because many have had this problem...

You may try using a css validator, as they sometimes identify open tags.

Ok, found it.

It is the anchor towrds the bottom of "/modules/Fast_Lane_Checkout/checkout_0_enter.tpl". It has been self-closed, but anchors should not be self-closed, as far as I'm aware.

Change:

<a name="regdlg" />

to

<a name="regdlg"> </a>

as I've also read somewhere that IE7 doesn't like empty anchors.

Job done.

Good find...

There are probably others like it... I remember going through this a few months back... but since I based my store on a 3rd party skin (before I totally reinvented it), I wasn't sure how much of it was stock vs. custom...

I guess this would qualify as a "bug" -- it's worth reporting it as such.

Awesome post! I just started to get frustrated when I found your post, works like a charm!

Thanks!
