[Pro] Site issues FW6 to FW7

Hi All,

I’m having a couple of issues with two sites I’ve built in FW6 and now updating with FW7

The first is: http://www.stagedoor-harpenden.co.uk

I originally had (in FW6) the sidebar with the opening times automatically adjusting to the height of the main content by adding, to the div’s extended attributes; position: absolute, top: 0. bottom: 0. In FW7 though this extends the sidebar all the way to the top and bottom of the browser window?

The second: http://thehertfordshiregardencentre.com

I’m using a negative margin to shift the content up over the top of the Exhibeo Slider here is FW6 but when I update the site in FW7 the Exhibeo Slider goes over the top of the content (though oddly not over the css menu or the googlemap)?

Any help, as always, is very much appreciated.

Cheers Steve

Hi Steve,

I suppose this is through “missing” position:relative for the DIV #content-top. Try to add via extended dialogue (as you already did for #opening-times-wrapper) position:relative to the #content-top.

With the second I’m not sure - but could be the same issue.

FW7 doesn’t declare the position:relative for the initial DIV anymore. Only if you add (which will mean working in 7 from scratch) something to this DIV, it will be added afterwards.

We had already discussions about this - with different opinions.

Cheers

Hi Thomas,

First site is now back to working as it should now that I have set the position of the parent div to relative.

If the issue with the second site is again down to the positioning not being declared, I don’t understand why I can’t just set the parent div to position:relative too (but I’ve tried and it doesn’t work). Do I need to create an initial page div into which I add all the content and declare its position relative?? I’ll keep playing around with it.

Thanks for the help.

Steve

Hi Steve,

can’t say anything without seeing the 7 result. In this case I don’t think it’s positioning. It might be a clearfix issue - who knows?

So if you could shoot it somewhere on a clean and safe space, chances increase to find a fix.

Cheers
