Website not retaining formatting when...

Here's a strange one. I have built out a lot of websites in RSD 2.0 and have not had this issue before. Actually 3 issues.

Here is the page: http://65.60.26.206/~livewell/

And here is the project file: http://65.60.26.206/~livewell/templates/livewelldfw.rsd

If you look at the page in RSD and compare to the uploaded index.html file, you will see the following differences.
1. The background colors set on rows 11, 6, and 7 are not showing, just white instead of the specified color.
2. The photo slideshow has a huge gap below it, even though I change the % bottom padding it makes no difference.
3. The bottom navigation menu (Row 8) is not centering like the rows above and below it.

Looks OK in the preview pane, but you can already see the issues in the: "Preview on"

I cannot figure out what is wrong.

Many thanks for any insight, this is really holding up my progress on this brand new website.

As a sub note, I have subsequently discovered that if I copy and paste the offending rows into a new blank page they show up correctly in html.

So I guess a fall back solution would be to recreate the page on a blank one, copying and pasting row by row. Perhaps this page has become corrupted in some way?

Thanks!

Hey Bruce,

I'm not an expert with RSD...I learn on the fly. But it seems that something in the html element for the wow slider is causing that...I got rid of it (the html element) and it shows the correct color...I even changed the color and it shows...put the html element back in and it was white again.

Thats as far as I can go on this, but maybe it will help?

Good luck!

Thanks, pretty weird as I use Wow-slider a lot and actually redid the code for it. But that is definitely somewhere to start. Thanks for the heads up!

Here's some feedback in case someone runs into the same problem. I was using a responsive embed code for the Wow Slider and further down the page I was using the same code for a YouTube video embed. The codes were interfering with each other.

So once I changed the YouTube to .video-container and left the Slider as .embed-container it all started working perfectly.

So for those non-coders (like me) out there - don't use the same embed code (like what you get at http://embedresponsively.com more than once on the same page! Took me too many hours to figure this out and find an alternative code.
