I created a new theme based on a template I found on internet.
In design mode (using Chrome) everything looks o.k., but when I logout and revisit the page the header logo is gone.
And when I try to visit the site using Internet Explorer my auto nav is displayed vertical instead of horizontal, it also not diplaying my header logo, my header search field is shifted out of place and my main area is larger then my header area.
All this is not the case in design mode (with chrome).
I attached a document with the varioud screenshot.
I'm also getting to get used o c5 and like you, after any changes I would go to other browser/s for live look thru's.
1. Cleared cache "totally" (repeated Ctrl+f5 - sometimes 3rd times a charm) on your working browser before viewing in IE (or other). There were times i have to clear browser cache manually (esp. with chrome) but turning on (both) dev. mode in > cache settings, it seldom happens.
3. Your stylesheet for the effected area/s used, which may make IE not to behave (possible).
4. When adding additional wrapper div for the entire page (as required by c5 dev's, after <body> tag and before ending </body>), I tend to target with id="unique_character" and on my stylesheet (which area/s needs loads of customization) use the specified id tag (incl. children classes). A bit of work though, but helps get the job done.
Anyway just my 2 cents, dropped by while finding my way thru some new codes/ideas for upcoming design dev's. Hoped it worked though.
I'm very new to this stuff, my previous page was just plain HTML/css and I wanted to try some CMS to make my life easier on updates. When Drupal did not work for me I tried to use C5, so far so good, until I tried to view the result as an unregisterred user.
The clearing of the cache (3 or 4 times) did indeed do the trick on my header logo.
Regarding the menu bar and search box I still have no solution the areas are approved.
But I will go through my css once more, because my guess is it has to be there (in conjuntion with C5).
Hmmmmm I thought so. Well, glad concrete5 made your life easier as it made ours. Everyday it's always a learning process.
BTW... good move hoping on board.
p/s: Dropped by your dev site, nice layout. Apart from the #footer, I think it's a great start.
Yes I'm on board. I really like the product I just have to work on my learning curve.
Any suggestions on the #footer?
Which means the inner div's holding the bg-image, whilst the outer div's holding on the page structure. I think you get the idea.
And if I'm not mistaken, the outer div will have a position:relative to make the bg-position to work. Might be wrong but it's somewhere around there.
Could you provide the url so we can have a look.
