Hello, I have been trying to work out an issue for a couple days now. I am getting different looks on my site while browsing with IE, Firefox and Chrome. If anybody has a second could you take a look and reply as to whether the page looks exactly the same in those browsers to you. I have attached a screen capture that shows the same discrepancy on 3 different computers I own. Deals with the category/subcategory image backgrounds. IE showing different than FF & Chrome. Thx.

Every browser will render a webpage different. I'm jealous that your page looks so close in all browsers.;)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Eric I do appreciate that fact but I have done a lot of css and never had this problem. The two graphics are made from the same color in photoshop using all the same settings. They should not be viewing as different colors. It wouldn't matter if we were able to use transparent png's for the images and the image place holder was transparent as well. But as long as that white block is there for the image placeholder there has to be an effective workaround.

So are we asking about color differences or positioning?

Color differences. Did you take a look at my attachment? It shows the differences as I see them on several machines.

Here's what I see.

I think it might be the parallax from your monitor.

Ok thanks for checking. Used different computers at different homes and still got it. Might be just one of those things not to over think. Do appreciate your time.

----------------
Here is a separate issue since I have you here. I am trying to add a continue shopping link to the view cart page. I want to use the php http_referer so the actual URL of the referring page is used. I want to add these lines of code:

<?php $referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if (!$referer == '') {
echo '<p><a href="' . $referer . '" title="Continue Shopping">&laquo; Continue Shopping</a></p>';
} else {
echo '<p><a href="nojavascript...history.go(-1)" title="Continue Shopping">&laquo; Continue Shopping</a></p>';
}
?>

It does not give me the desired results when adding it to the spotlight area of the view cart page. To view what it does go to:
xygengraphix.com/shoptest then add something to the cart and take a look.

Do you know if it is possible to add some php using the add html code function? Thanks again.

Looks good. For security reasons you'll see the the forum block java script code from being posted fully so I use an attachment to make sure you got the code complete.
