SOLVED: Entry title not displaying on Firefox

[anyssia]

Hi!

I hope this hasn't been asked already, but I couldn't find an answer anywhere, so...

My problem is this: I uploaded premade-ljs's Travel away with me layout and it works just fine on Chrome

Are you experiencing the same problem right now? Because I'm not able to reproduce it. However, I'm on a Mac.

[anyssia]

Yep, still the same. The last two entries' titles (both crossposted) don't display on Firefox and apparently, Chrome has decided that it didn't want to display the last entrie's title either.

The really weid thing is that I would understand if both Firefox and Chrome had decided not to show the last two entries' title, but two entries in Firefox and only the last one in Chrome... It's really strange.
And I don't know enough CSS to catch an hypothetical error.
(and I use a PC)

I wonder is it has to do with the image used for the entry header area...

If you remove http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v297/troubion/s2%20layouts/travelawaysubj-1.jpg from the entry header code - just leave it like this () - do you see the titles?

[anyssia]

I deleted it from entryHeaderSubject but it didn't still the same. Apparently, the background under the image is the same color, so no difference.

It made me think, and I tried highlighting the title and it does appear as if it was here, except probably the same color as the background, which would explain why we can't see anything.

*tries a couple of things*
I realized that there was a problem with the background link in the entryHeaderSubject part and now it displays the image correctly. But I still can't see the title. It's as if those first two entries' title was the same color as the background, but not the other entries. I don't understand why.

[anyssia]

What I don't understand is that there are only two places where this color (the entry title's one) is used: the dates, a block at the end of the page and the title's background color that I removed without any improvement.

How can the title be of the #622a1d color when it isn't specified anywhere else (or did I miss something?)

[mordyn4]

I was just looking at that.

Try removing:

.entryHeaderDate a {
color: #622a1d;
text-decoration : none;
}

I don't think you need it anyway.

[anyssia]

I think I found it! (maybe ^^;;) I just realized that after opening an entry and coming back to the main page, the title doesn't display anymore. So I need to look at the ... used links color or something, I don't know the name

[mordyn4]

Visited. But I don't see that same colour listed in any of the visited definitions.

[mordyn4]

I wonder if this is a caching issue with how the subject titles don't show up on the single entry view. Rather, they're moved to the body, but most designers display:none that part.

[anyssia]

Got it! I added
.entryHeaderSubject a:visited{
color: #e9c6a6;
}
and now, it works, apparently. probably a conflict with a previous a:, even if I can't find the error

[anyssia]

(now, if only I could manage to add the title on the entry page, without it being eaten by Smooth Sailing. I tried to check a few Smooth Sailings tutos, but I don't really understand what code I should add)

Anyway, thanks for your help!! I was really useful for me to have you give me suggestion, I don't think I would have managed to catch the problem if you hadn't been there.
Thanks! ^^

You do have a paid account, so you could achieve this.

Basically, you have to turn your layout fully into code:

And then you can modify the overrides that define what shows up where.

[anyssia]

Hum. I don't think I'm going to risk myself into playing with that, especially not tonight. But thanks anyway, I'll be sure to keep the link on the side, in case I get more css savvy someday ^^

[anyssia]

Okay, I claimed victory too soon, it still doesn't work right. (and it's 12:15 pm and I need to be up by 5:00 am >_< Today is going to be especially hard I feel)

[mordyn4]

Did you try removing that code for the "date a" color? Because there's no link in the date area, so there's no need or that bit of code.

[anyssia]

... ^^;;; This is very, very weird. I put back up the original code and just added again the
.entryHeader a:visited {
color: #e9c6a6;
}

after the
.entryHeader a{
color: #e9c6a6;
}

and now it works again, apparently. maybe I had misspelled something?

I had tried earlier the date a thingy, but it didn't change anything, so I had put it back on.

Again, thanks!
