I just upgraded to SP3.2


The footer is overwriting the product page before it's done loading.



IE6 only, FF seems to be OK, don't know about IE7. It dosn't happen all of the time. If you re-load the page, it loads fine. Viewsate is at the bottom, changing it didn't make a difference.



I removed the price and 'details' bar from SingleProductDisplay (CrossSells). I restored the original files and it made no difference.

Any ideas?

Got to be in the SingleProductDisplay. Always happens at the bottom of the stack.

Yep. Sometimes it does it, sometimes not, always cleans up on refresh.

Always puts the footer at the bottom of the CrossSells when out of whack.


Happens only on products with CrossSells.



If you select a radio button, the balance of the page appears.

No. I haven't fixed it, it takes some serious clicking on items that run the modifiers down past the CrossSells.

about 1 time in 20 or so. I was really hoping it was my computer, but I've gotten it to happen on 3 computers with IE6 and 7.

Refreshing the page clears it up, as does clicking any radio button - because the modifier changes the price.

I'm almost thinking that once the CrossSells load, the rest of the page gets orphaned and the footer comes up to fill in the gaps. I've seen the page load, and then get covered by the footer.
Got this just now, 7th product viewed:

OK, I stripped out all of the html. I re-built the product type and type properties using only ul, il and a href. None of these were later tagged as being a problem.

I stripped out my html in the product description and used the free text editor to build a new product description.

The page was run for errors and 44 errors remain if run as a XHTML 1.0 Transitional.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.missionfurnishings.com%2FProducts%2FBurbank-Recessed-Medicine-Cabinet__MAS751R.aspx&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=XHTML+1.0+Transitional&ss=1&group=0

All of the remaining errors save 5 are BVC code. There are plenty of upper-case tags, but non were tagged as being problems. The page failed validation.

Just for fun, with no description at all the page still failed to validate.

SO....... If the end is near for HTML and it's comfortable quirks, what do we do? Perhaps in a not to distant SP a replacement for the free text editor could be arranged to help out with Css/ 1.0 transitional product descriptions.


BTW - the page has yet to fail to load properly.

I've only done one product to test.

I hope you didn't open Burbank-Recessed-Medicine-Cabinet__MAS751R

Thanks, I think 3.2 caused a more strict adherance to XHTML 1.x rules. Taking the table out of the product description seems to be the big thing.

It happened when my 3.2 site went live and always showed the problem at the bottom of the CrossSells area and never happened if there were no CrossSells. Why would anyone assume it wasn't a singleperoductdisplay problem?
