Hi there, i been trying to find out how CMSMS works for over 2 weeks now and decided to build a new website with it. I'm almost happy with the result it but there seems to be 2 strange things:
1. i've placed the search box in the header links and it looks fine on my mac with safari & firefox... in i.e. it doesn't look that good, it fills out all page but i can't figure out why? If anyone can help me... would be highly appreciated.
2. for some reason the menu shows numbers but i don't want that, i tried to find out how that works... but i seem to be missing the point. Same question: anyone got any tips how to get rid if these numbers?
Finally... the news section looks almost good. However, it would look even better if the [Meer] (means 'more') button would be directly behind the content, anyone knows how to accomplish this ?
Thanks in advance.
All the best,
Ton

You need to attach the accessibility and cross browser tools stylesheet to your template to get rid of the numbers.
Positioning the search and "more" can be done through your stylesheet.

hi thanks, i know about the positioning in the style sheet, ofcourse i did... therefor it's nicely in the upperright corner but... somehow... it doesn't work for internet explorerer. When the page is looked up via safari / firefox.. everything is just as i meant it.
I'll have a look into the crossbrowser stylesheet, thanks !
Best

euh... i don't think so, this is what's in the layout
{* Start Navigation *}
{menu template='cssmenu.tpl'}
{* End Navigation *}

Try changing this:
Code: Select all
/* header links */
#header #header-links {
color: #5b4a29;
font: normal 11px "Lucida Grande", Lucida, Verdana, sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
float: right;
width: 275px;
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
right: 9px;
}
#header #header-links a {
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 0 2px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#header #header-links a:hover {
color: #111;
}
to:
Code: Select all
/* header links */
#header-links {
color: #5b4a29;
font: normal 11px "Lucida Grande", Lucida, Verdana, sans-serif;
text-transform: uppercase;
float: right;
width: 275px;
position: absolute;
top: 20px;
right: 9px;
}
#header-links a {
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 0 2px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#header-links a:hover {
color: #111;
}

Also noticed that your
has a width of 840px, which is wider than the container with a width of 500px.
And your has a left margin of -32, which displays incorrectly in IE.

Also noticed an empty section after the news div
which is throwing IE into fits.
