Thread

I have had this issue off and on while developing my site. When I update one of my templates particularly ones that are designated for CSS or JavaScript all I get is a blank white screen when I press update. When I remove the extra lines of CSS that I add and press the “update” button again then the changes submit and the page refreshes as it should.

Any ideas on this? Are there restricted characters that I am using perhaps?

Below is an example of code I recently added to my CSS. Once I added this code the template wouldn’t allow me to save:

  input.getdirections {cursor: pointer !important; border: none !important; position: relative !important; left: 0px !important; top: 0px !important; width: 121px !important; display: block !important; height: 29px !important; background: url("/images/site/forms/btn_getdirections.gif") 0 0 no-repeat !important; text-decoration: none !important;}
  input.getdirections:hover {background-position: 0px -29px !important;}
  input.getdirections:active {background-position: 0px -58px !important;}

Thank you for your help.

You might be running into a problem with mod_security. I used to see this happening on pages with Javascript.

See: http://www.liewcf.com/how-to-disable-mod_security-in-htaccess-file-3631/

For information on disabling mod_security.

NOTE: This involves .htaccess. Make sure you’re comfortable working with .htaccess.
