Hi folks!

I have had a site up and running for a couple of months now.. The hosting company made some changes and now the pages are looking like crap!... According to them IE is not reading the CSS correctly now. They can not tell me what they changed and why it is not working!

The site is working in Fire Fox!

Here is the site.... www.needleandthreadoftomball.com

Any help or ideas on what I should look at would be greatly appreciated!
Steve

I have seen this before... It is due to how IE uses the base_href tag incorrectly... Look in your main_page.tpl.php and remove the line in the <head> section that defines base_href and see if that clears it up for you.

Worked like a champ!!! Thank you so much!

Would a change on any of the server programs have made this happen? After all it has worked fine for a long time...

Thanks
Steve

I really cannot remember what the exact cause was, as it was a while ago that I dealt with it. I think it had more to do with the improper way that IE uses the base_href tag, compared to how it is supposed to be used... I could be totally off base though...

I am always amazed that I cannot remember where I put my wallet, but hey, some obscure error that I saw once, three years ago... no problem!

Cool!

Now I found another problem... When you "Click to enlarge" a picture of an item it is brining up the box by with a red x

I hate it when they change stuff!!!!

Do you think this could be related to the above problem or do I need to look elsewhere?

Check the path of the broken image in the popup (right click the box and select view source)

Then check to see

1. is the path a valid one and
2. does an image exist at that location

This has something to do with the image resizer... What it is I don't know

Take this image... osCMax v2.0 : #60 Christmas Cheer - $49.95

The image shows up and looks good... But when you click to enlarge you get the box with the red x... The path is shown as http:///images/60_Christmas_Cheer_OP_300.jpg So I assume the program is not working right and giving a bad path....

Any Ideas? This is all related to whatever changes they made to the server package... They still swear up and down it's not their fault

The popup image works fine for me on that page... no red x. The larger image displays properly. See the screenshot of your page...
