  Gidday,
  
  Im just mucking around with the Flexi themes and using Openstar/pagesetter the text of the Pagesetter article disappears when the Flexi themes are set.
  
  The odd thing is, it shows the article header and the article footer, but not the main text?
  
  

  Code

  <!--- middle (main content) column begin -->
                          <div class="bannerbox"><a href="banners.php?op=click&bid=1" title=""><img src="oicm.net/lcctest/themes/seabreeze/images/lcc_banner_smaller.jpg" alt="" /></a></div>
                         
                          <h1>LEARNING COMMUNITIES STRATEGY</h1>
  
  
  <br/>
  
  THIS IS WHERE THE ARTICLE SHOULD BE?
  
  <a href="http://oicm.net/lcctest/index.php?module=Pagesetter&func=printpub&tid=10000&pid=20">Print this</a> | <a href="http://oicm.net/lcctest/index.php?module=Pagesetter&func=sendpub&tid=10000&pid=20">Send this</a> | Hits: 3 | <a href="http://oicm.net/lcctest/index.php?module=Pagesetter&func=pubedit&tid=10000&id=36&action=edit&goback=1">Edit this</a>
                          <!--- middle (main content) column end -->

  
  
  Okay an update, or a stream of consciousness - which ever you prefer
  
  It seems it isn't these themes in particular but something between Xanthia and Pagesetter, I assume there is another magic setting somewhere which I need to hunt down? When I switched back to Xtralite there was no drama.
  
  Cheers

  What about other Xanthia themes that do not belong to the Flexi series? Do they show the same behavior?

  It was all Xanthia themes, but it was something to do with how I setup the template for the Pagesetter article, which by accident, I have been able to rectify.
  
  I do have another problem though with the Right Hand menu being pushed down in IE6. Works fine with Firefox.

  Probably due to the overflow setting (auto) in the #mainColumn div.
  
  IE adds up the width of your scrollbar to the width of the DIV (yes, a bug) and therefore there is not enough room for the sideblock to put it aside. It therefore sets it below the mainContent. FireFox does this correctly.
  
  Setting overflow-x to hidden will solve this for now, but with the chance of hiding content. I suggest you either make the theme wider, or loose the right columns on all pages except on the startpage. You can do this by editing master.htm

  Yupper changing this overflow component of the style.css file to hidden pushes the right hand column back up but loses the content.
  
  

  Code

  #leftColumn, #rightColumn, #SOWrap
  {
      overflow: hidden;   /* fix for IE italics bug */
      position: relative; /* fix some rendering issues */
  }

  
  
  This is the same for both Fleximple and Flexicorp
  
  Any other suggestions?
  
  Cheers

  That's what I said...

  Teb

  ... but with the chance of hiding content.

  
  
  This is a disadvantage of multicolumn layouts with fixed widths: If the centercolumn exceeds borders (and it will happen alot), your centerblock is 'too narrow'.
  
  So, maybe follow my suggestion: You either make the theme wider, or loose the right columns on all pages except on the startpage. You can do this by editing master.htm, remove the right blockpositions and adjust the width of the mainContent div to fill it up. Probably alot of playing around.

  Thanks Teb, I made both themes as wide as I could, but still no improvement.
  
  If I could figure out the resolution for the startpage I would be happy to lose the right hand block for the rest of the site - but no luck
  
  Cheers
