[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Space over Gallery

Yes, it was down all day, “thanks” to my hosting… It happens now and them, they say they’re upgrading and sometimes they have problems “upstream”. No ideea what that means. ??

Anyway, now is working “fine”.

WshiperT and Alex, we (or at least I) need help with this.

Anyone?

Just to make sure: Have you deactivated Lightbox (in ngg & plugins)? Lightbox has an issue with IE6.

Don’t have IE6 here (and why should one use a stupid browser with no tabs?), can’t really check what’s going on there.

No idea what your blog is about, the pictures in between the text are are certainly … questionable content, don’t you think?

I also can’t help… i didn’t use IE6 anymore. Sorry

I found those on the forum on one of the biggest financial newspapers in our country. I’m making posts about things like that sometime. To show people how some don’t care about their website at all.

Anyway, on the matter at hand: this is not an issue about IE6. It’s the CSS in general. In Firefox, in Opera. All those errors are from the CSS, not because of IE6…

There are 2 problems.
1. The big space in lower versions of IE.
2. Those CSS and html errors which appear in all browsers.

The plugin is generating somehow 22 CSS errors, and dozens of html errors. Here are 2 examples of pieces of text/code that the validator shows as errors:

CSS: 169 .ngg-navigation Parse Error !important;

html: <font color=”#ffffff”>*</font>
<div class=”ngg-galleryoverview” id=”ngg-gallery-8″><div id=”ngg-image-35″ class=”ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box desc”>

… On the other blogs where I don’t have NGG installed I have 0 errors now, both in html and CSS. I don’t know if it’s a conflict with my theme or something native, it would be nice if someone who cares about validation and has NGG installed would share some knowledge on this.

Oh, and I don’t use Lightbox.

If you have validation problems with thickbox.css, you should switch the effect. I never looked for the CSS valdiation inside of thickbox…

If i use the W3C validtaion for CSS I get a couple of errors, but they are all related to Thickbox (and some warnigs, which i ignore myself)

The W3C HTML validation says it’s “Valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional”

So, no problem with the code, but maybe a problem in combination with a theme file. So use the default theme and try to reduce the number of plugins to find the problem source.

Thickbox is off. I have no effect.

Still the following CSS errors:
169 .ngg-navigation Parse Error !important;
170 Unknown pseudo-element or pseudo-class :block
170 display Parse Error !important;
171 padding-top Parse Error padding-top:15px;
172 Unknown pseudo-element or pseudo-class :center
172 text-align Parse Error center;
174 text-align Parse error – Unrecognized }

As for other plugins, I’ve tried deactivating all of them except ngg and the problem remained the same.

And I have alot of html errors as well when I try validating, lik this one:

Line 564, Column 87: document type does not allow element “div” here; missing one of “object”, “applet”, “map”, “iframe”, “button”, “ins”, “del” start-tag.

…g-galleryoverview” id=”ngg-gallery-8″><div id=”ngg-image-35″ class=”ngg-galle…

Anyone? Anything?

I will try to see if that’s the solution to the problem.

very intresting theme i think

@Dheers (and anyone else):
I’ve just replaced the thickbox code with what you had on your site, and I still gave these errors:

CSS:
169 .ngg-navigation Parse Error !important;
170 Unknown pseudo-element or pseudo-class :block
170 display Parse Error !important;
171 padding-top Parse Error padding-top:15px;
172 Unknown pseudo-element or pseudo-class :center
172 text-align Parse Error center;
174 text-align Parse error – Unrecognized }

And a bunch of html errors that seem related to the NGG plugin. Here’s the link for the validation page.

Why do I say related to NGG? Because they appear on a single post, the one that I’ve used to post some pictures using NGG:

It seems that something is really wrong here, netween my theme and this plugin… Does no one know how to fix this?

@iam123: Mine or Dheers’s ? ??

i think i may have figured out how to get rid of the extra spaces that appear at the top.

here is what i had written before:

[album=13,extend]
[album=14,extend]
[album=15,extend]

this would put album 13 right under my header, then 14 a space under that, and 15 two spaces under 13.

This is how I got rid of the space that would appear at the top of the galleries:

[album=13,extend][album=14,extend][album=15,extend]

I lined up all the albums next to one another and when I clicked on any particular album, they all appeared the same number of spaces under the gallery header.

It’s odd, but it did the trick for me.

I just installed the new version (0.97) and notice there is no clear:both in the code. I’m back to square one with the space over my gallery again. Unless I missed something, does anybody know a fix?
