A little help, please? This is MESSED UP! :-(

Can someone please take a look at http://www.OlgaBonfiglio.com and tell me what is causing the sudden weirdness?

The site looked fine, and then I changed a graphic in one of the rollovers--didn't touch the HTML, just replaced the graphic file--and suddenly the copyright information at the bottom of the page started repeating all the down from the top of the page to the bottom. The repeated text can't be selected.

I have tried everything to fix this. I even tried deleting the lines that are repeating from theme.html, clearing the cache, deleting all the files in templates_c before refreshing. The same text keeps re-appearing even when it's not even in the HTML. (If you look at the source code now you'll see it's back in there, but when I took it out, it still appeared as before.)

Also, I suddenly got a weird graphics glitch just below the masthead in the middle of the page, but only in IE (not in Mozilla or any of its derivatives).

This is driving me stark raving mad, and there's no reason this should have changed because of a simple graphic upload. HELP ME BEFORE I START HURTING PEOPLE!!!!

Don't hurt anyone yet. I could be wrong, but I've noticed that whenever I used tags that are capitalized, I have a LOT of problems in XOOPS. You have a couple of table tags that say TABLE, break tags that say BR, and td tags that say TD. Try using lower case on all of them. It might work.

You may also have to delete the files in your template_c folder, except index.html

Re: A little help, please? This is MESSED UP! :-(

I already deleted the files in template_c, as noted above.

Changing the tags from upper case to lower case also had no effect.

I'm wondering if this could be something on the server end, like a server cache that's corrupted or something. I mean, it's displaying things that aren't even in the file anymore. Is this possible, and if that's what it is, any suggestions on a fix?

Do you have "Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?" Set to "Yes" in your Preferences-->System-->General Settings?

It's already set that way.

The site has the same problems in Firefox and Opera on my computer. I want to see if I can validate the HTML.

FIXED IT!!!

Got it. The problem was with the graphic, after all; I created the graphics from a mock-up in Photoshop that I sliced down into a table. I forgot to take the copyright notice off of the mockup before exporting, and then inadvertently uploaded the graphic with the copyright information on it.

DOH!

So, thanks for the help. It's always stupid little things like this that are the most maddening!

(BTW, the tag problems are largely because I generated the initial page using NetObjects Fusion 8, which doesn't really care too much for valid HTML. I'm sure it got muddled even more by my manual tinkering, as well.)

Thanks, mate! Appreciate the help. As usual, it was a mechanical problem: the nut behind the wheel.
