I'm setting up a new site and am using xoopsfactory's myxoops CSS based theme. It's working fine so far, except that I can't figure out how to get CBB to show up properly in Firefox. Works fine in IE. Basically, there is a big white space gap. I've played around with the CBB CSS and have changed the theme preferences from default to myxoops to none, etc. but haven't stumbled on the solution. I'm not so great with CSS.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

See the difference between Firefox and IE (problem in Firefox):

Thanks.

hello toddherold,

thanks for comments on this theme. Some say my css themes are buggy and things, of course i do see this from another point of view, but yes there are some problems using some modules without editing their modultemplates.

In this case newbb is using a:

"<div class="clear"></div>"
(and in css a clear:both;)

I don't know for what it is there and I'm of the humble opinion that clearings only clear floats any nothing else.

In this case it overwrites/deletes my floatings which are used in theme.

erasing the "<div class="clear"></div>" in modultemplates of newbb will solve the problem in your case.

There are some other issues reported. Themes with full width do not display table width=100% as intended. I'm working on a woraround on this.

happy xoopsing
michael

thanks for your fast reply. I'm not that familiar with CSS only themes. In theory they sound ideal, but in practice may be a different matter. I understand the debate over CSS vs. tables but I'm just not as comfortable with CSS as I am with HTML. I probably should be thinking twice about using a CSS theme, but I thought it would be good for me to learn more about it.

Anyway, I removed the <div id="clear"></div> from all the CBB themes and it is dramatically improved. I still had some problems, so I also removed the style: clear from the breaks as you mentioned. Turns out this was not a good idea because it introduced more errors, so I reverted back to maintaining the break style clear.

Anyway, now it is just minor stuff:

In Firefox:

1. Gap between forum list and "users online" section at category level. Deleting the clear:both from the break or deleting the break all together from the index theme causes the section to move up too far. So either there is a gap or it overlaps. . How can I tweak that break?

Perhaps this will correct when I add several categories:

2. Gap again between forum topics and icons at forum level: Same issue with the clearing the break. . maybe I'll just add a lot of forums and see what happens.

3. Misalignment of Notification Options at thread level:

IE is fine except for the very minor misalignment of the "fast reply" button at the thread level:

How odd that with this it is IE that is functioning "correctly" and Firefox that is making trouble!
