I downloaded Firefox on my PC a second ago and my slideshow doesn't display. If you come across any solutions, please let me know. Thanks!

I've found that installing Flash for Firefox can be tricky. The best way to do it is to completely close out Firefox, open internet explorer, and go to the Flash website in IE. Click "download flash," but choose the option for "another browser" and download the non-IE version of flash, then install. For some reason trying to download Flash in FF itself never allows FF to completely close. So even though it will appear as if Flash was successfully installed it won't work.

Thanks for your answers..... but downloading a new flash solves my problem???????? Mine can.. but with others who want to see my website in their homes? I cant say to all of them to download flash...

Anyone have a magical code to arrange all problems?

Thank again

start with double checking your html code in your header. It seems that you have at least one unclosed tag.

For each <tag> you need a </tag>

(Unless the tag is actually of the form <tag/> )

Thanks...For example, for a 'div', you need to open and close the tags, like this:
<div>
.... more code here
</div>

If you are missing one (most likely the last one) it can cause a lot of problems and break other code also.

Hi Jacinto,

Here is some code to hopefully resolve the open div that is fighting the slideshow centering. If for some reason the code in step 2 is not in your HTML window let me know and don't proceed with the other steps. Let me know and I will provide you with alternate code to make your logo clickable to your homepage. I have not used the customizer so the contents of your HTML window may or may not have that configurable code which I am relying on in that step.

Try this:

1)
Back-Up your existing code by emailing it to yourself using the button located at the bottom of the Site-Wide Customization page and confirm the email was received and you can open it properly in case you need to reverse a change made in the following steps.

2)
Find in your HTML Custom Header Section the following entry and Delete it (should be near the top of the window):

<div id="customHeaderContainer"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td><div id="customLogo"><img src="http://jacintopolicarpo.smugmug.com/photos/675350093_yf57L-O.png" style="visibility: hidden;" border="0"></div></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table></div>

Then you will replace that deleted entry with the following entry (this includes the code to click the banner to return

to your homepage):

<div id="customHeaderContainer"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td><div id="customLogo"><a href="http://jacintopolicarpo.smugmug.com" title="Click Here to Return to the Homepage"><img src="http://jacintopolicarpo.smugmug.com/photos/675350093_yf57L-O.png" width="387" height="82" border="0" /></div></td><td></td></tr></tbody></table></div>


3)
Find in your HTML Custom Header Section the following entries and Delete them:

<div id="my-header-image">
<div id="my_banner"> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;" id="navcontainer">
<br>


4)
Directly after the above entry you deleted you should find the following entry. You will want to rename the text in

parenthesis as shown:

<div id="my_header">

Rename "my_header" to "my_navbar" and should look like this:

<div id="my_navbar">


5)
In your HTML Custom Header window find the following entry and delete it (should be found after your navbar code):

<div id="my banner">
<a href="http://www.jacintopolicarpo.com">
<img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="0" height="0" width="0"></a>
</div>


6)
In the CSS window, find the following three entries and delete them:

#my_headerContainer {
width: 100%;
height: 100px;
padding-top: 20px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: transparent;
position:relative;
}

#my_logo {
width: 48%;
height: 86px;
margin-left: 1%;
margin-right: 1%;
padding-top: 0px;
background: url(http://jacintopolicarpo.smugmug.com/...65_pU3rL-O.png) no-repeat;
float: left;
}

#my_navbar {
width: 48%;
height: 30px;
margin-right: 1%;
margin-left: 1%;
padding-top: 28px;
background: transparent;
float: right;
}


Then you will replace the deleted code with these three entries:

#customHeaderContainer {
width: 750px;
height: 88px;
padding-top: 10px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background: transparent;
}

#customLogo {
width: 387px;
height: 82px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
background: transparent;
}

#my_navbar {
width: 750px;
height: 30px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
padding-bottom: 5px;
background: transparent;
}

Check the preview button and if it looks good save with the update button and make sure your other pages display properly with the new changes.

Attached is the screenshot I get when using the code in WebDev:

As always, your assistance is GREATLY appreciated!!! I have no plans of using Firefox...I only downloaded to see how my site displayed with that program. I assume there isn't a script that I could insert in my CSS that would force my page to display properly with all IE programs is there?

In most cases, the right form of CSS will work similarly in all browsers. In 98% of the cases I see here where IE isn't working right, it's because the CSS has problems or is not letting the CSS box model do the layout for you.

Hi Travis,

I believe I have figured out the centering issue with your albumDescription on your guestbook page.

The issue isn't an open div as I originally thought, it appears it's an upper level div container that needs to also adjust to accommodate your wider description box. Try the following code and let me know if you see any negative affects to that page or others on your site.

Add to your CSS:

.gallery_7572699 #journal{
width: auto;
height: auto;
}

It shows the right way (basically - still tweaking) in IE, but then I just downloaded firefox and the print pricing area isn't displayed right. Any suggestions?
