Hello all,

I have posted this in the help section too. Thankyou to everyone for making/maintaining pixelpost... Its excellent!

Problem: please visit my site to see as i'm having trouble explaining, but when I add a description of myself to the 'about' section of the pepper template, if it gets too long the whole template goes all weird. The extra lines of text i have entered don't show up, or show up down on the bottom under the template in the gray space... and the footer is moved around. suggestions??

Thanx!

in your image_template you have this code :

Code:

  &lt;div id="footer">&lt;/div>
&lt;/div>
&lt;/body>
&lt;/html>
/div>
	&lt;/div>

	&lt;/div>

  &lt;div id="footer">&lt;/div>
&lt;/div>
&lt;/body>
&lt;/html>

delete all code below the first </html>

I am 100% sure that this is a problem of the CSS which is used in the template.

please, do not doublepost!

hmm.... when i open my templates up in textpad... there isn't the same problem with the duplication of the same code... thus, there is no code to delete below the first </html>. Thanks though!

Connie... sorry about the double post... didn't realise it was such a problem. So if the problem is 100% css... any suggestions on what to do about it? Perhaps some thoughts from the creator of this template?

Thanks for you help!

Replace this with :

Code:

  &lt;div id="footer">&lt;/div>
&lt;/div>
&lt;/body>
&lt;/html>
/div>
	&lt;/div>

	&lt;/div>

  &lt;div id="footer">&lt;/div>
&lt;/div>
&lt;/body>
&lt;/html>

Code:

  &lt;div id="footer">&lt;/div>
&lt;/div>
&lt;/body>
&lt;/html>

hmm, I think there's a bit of a misunderstanding here... i'm going to post what the bottom of my 'about_template' looks like in textpad... as it looks different than when you view the source of it:

Code:

&lt;h3>Technical Difficulties!!&lt;/h3>
	    What on earth is going on here?  My page is all messed up....&lt;br />
    &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div>
	&lt;/div>
	&lt;/div>

	&lt;/div>

  &lt;div id="footer">&lt;/div>
&lt;/div>
&lt;/body>
&lt;/html>

Note... the site is even showing a line that i deleted in the template ("This part has been added to demonstrate to the forum people what seems to be happening." ) It used to say that, then i updated it with the 'what on earth is going on here?' statement.... which isn't even showing up. weird... i just don't get it...

so now you are saying it's not uploading your edits to the template file correctly?

I have one idea what could cause this double </BODY></HTML>

are you using a template with a header and a footer?

If so, the main template which contains the actual image, should not close with </BODY></HTML>!

please check this!

and I see an unclosed

/div>

there!

Thanks to everyone for their help. Turns out the problem was me... (isn't it usually!)

When editing the about_template.html in textpad I wasn't saving it as a unix file and that was causing the file that was uploaded to end up having all sorts of weird breaks in it. I don't fully understand, though my boyfriend who does seems to be able to explain it much better!

For now, it seems to be working fine, fingers crossed.

Thankyou all again...
