Hello from Paris,

It's Stefan, I'm using the Zen Blank template on the following web page under construction :

www.leguidebea.partenairewebdepuis2004.fr/index.php/formapolis-nancy-bienvenue

I have a problem with the space I have in the bottom of my page :

1 - how can I reduce the blank space I have below the indication "Vers le haut" (i.e. to the top)
2 - How can I reduce the space I have between 2 modules at the bottom : in IE (not in FF Mozilla) there is a huge space between the Google map plugin and the slideshow module (mod_briaskISS )?

Thank you for your help,

Stefan

In the template_css.css file you can remove the padding (line 31) padding:30px 0;

.containerBG {
display:inline;
float:left;
padding:30px 0;
width:100%;
}

and here (line 31) margin-bottom:45px;

#abovecontent, #belowcontent, #mainContent {
margin-bottom:45px;
}

Hello Stephanie,

Thank you for your time and help.

I followed your instructions and reduced the padding and margin in the template.css of the Zengridframework (I'm using Zen blank template). In IE, it managed to reduced the blank space at the bottom of my page, which is what I needed :
www.leguidebea.partenairewebdepuis2004.fr/index.php/formapolis-nancy-bienvenue

But nothing changed in IE concerning the big space I have between my Googlemap module and the slideshow at the bottom.


Any other idea?

Thank you in advance,

Have a good day,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

There is only a tiny gap there now, maybe you were looking at browser cache? It looks fine from here.

Hello Seth,

Thank you for taking the time to look into this also.

I emptied my cache and here attach is what I see with IE.

You see, the gap below my google map module and my next slide show module is far from being tiny.

Any idea...?

Thank you,

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Do you have an IE specific css file?

Seth,

No any IE css specific file that I am aware nor that I would have created...

What should I do about it?

Stefan

Looks like it might be because of these errors ont he page:

validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.leguidebea.partenairewebdepuis2004.fr%2Findex.php%2Fformapolis-nancy-bienvenue

Thanks Anthony

Hi again Anthony,

Thank you for this information. Very useful link to check where errors are. Unfortunately, I think most of these "errors" come from modules themselves etc and I do not want to start editing these files - So I guess I will have to stick with this blank space at the bottom of my page.
Thank you for the information,

Stefan

Sorry I meant that it was coming from the content in the modules. If you set the modules to strip tags eg remove the <em> tags etc that arent getting closed - as per the errors - then that will reduce those errors which I think is where the issue is coming from.

Anthony

Ah, ok.... I understand our point now. Thank you for the explanation.
I will check but my bottom modules/elements are
- a slideshow called mod_briaskISS : there is no option to remove tags (but the content is only images)
- a fixed image
- plugin_googlemap2 : i cannot see any option to remove tags

I will check with the other modules in the upper part of the page. What is strange is that in FF Mozilla there is almost no blank space while in IE it's quite large...

I'll see if I find something and will let you know in this case.

Thank you again for your help and explanations.

Stefan

Godd luck Stefan, hope that you manage to track down the culprit. It might be a good idea to diable to module one by one, until the errors are gone. Then you can see where the problem comes from.
