this page with expression engine code and the div doesn’t work.
http://www.hhdc.com/index.php/site/indexee.html

<div id=“head”>
<div id=“promo”>{exp:channel:entries channel="promo"
limit="1" disable="pagination" }

{promo_head}

  {/exp:channel:entries}
</div>
  <br class=“clear” >
</div>

Why does the 2nd URL have .html extension ? EE does not use the .html (or any) extensions (aside from index.php)

Also on that 2nd link this script tag “src=Scripts/swfobject_modified.js” is pulling in some really strange content, it looks like it’s pulling the entire pages html code.

I TOOK OUT THE HTML…AND JUST LEFT IN THE PROBLEM CODE.

THAT IS FOR THE GALLERY…WHICH I THINK I CAN FIX…AFTER I RESOLVE WHY IT SEEMS TO IGNORE MY CSS WHEN IT’S IN CSS.

THANK YOU

Your css is loading but your code is incorrect, you have a “p” tag inside a <h2> tag as well your outputting multiple “br” tags instead of just one. I edited them via firebug and works swimmingly.

Your template code looks fine, id look at your WYSIWYG {promo_head} for the issue as it is most defiantly an error on entering the copy.

Let us knwo where you are with this one farberrifkin

thank you for your quick response!....i am going to take some time to check and organize this weekend.

Sounds good.. let us know what you find out. We’ll be here.

I am baffle…(which isn’t difficult)
i don’t know if this is because of a preference i put in on the entry…
or something dreamweaver decided to add….

This is the copy that i put in my entry..

This is the code that i put in my template….
<div id=“promo”>
    <!—/*ee_ promo*/—> 
  {exp:channel:entries channel="promo"
limit="1" disable="pagination"}

{promo_body}

{/exp:channel:entries}
  <!—/*ee_ promo*/—>
</div>

I checked firebug…and i saw   which i am guessing is the problem..
but i didn’t put it there….

please advice…

thanks again.

It appears whatever u intended to write here , didnt get parsed, needless to say we don’t exactly what your issue is.

When i looked at the page source…via firefox…
there is an additional “p”  “/p” I didn’t add this code.

Here is the code via firefox…
<div id=“promo”>

“p”

farberrifkin, what is {promo_body}? Is it a text field or a textarea field?

Field Type-Textarea
Is this a required field?-yes
Is field searchable?-yes
Textarea Rows-3
Default Text Formatting for This Field XHTML,
Allow override on publish page?-yes

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you…
thanks all..again

I’d imagine that the textarea being XHTML is adding this automagically - disable this functionality by setting the formatting to none. This will remove all formatting applied by XHTML and mean you’ll have to manually wrap the output of the custom field.

You can read more about this in the documents: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/general/text_formatting.html

farberrifkin,

What Cheif says is what we recommend. Switch your Default Text Formatting for This Field to none

Also for future reference wrap any code examples in the tag [ code]  [ /code]
You have a button for it in your reply box or when creating anew thread. It makes your code more readable

<div id="promo">
{exp:channel:entries channel="promo" limit="1" disable="pagination"}
{promo_body}
{/exp:channel:entries}
</div>

thanks for all you help…
i am not sure why it’s still not working….
