Logo/ Page Jumps 10pixel sideways when navigating pages
Posted 12 years 9 months ago
Looking for some immediate assistance on an issue I'm having w gantry for Joomla. I'm using the gantry frame work for the first time with joomla and so far its been great to work with. I'm 99.9% done with the site Ive been building except for the fact that my pages jump around when you navigate through them. The logo skips a bit to the side and everything moves with a quick jerking motion when going thru the site. I ran some test to see if I could figure it out and I'm thinking its the containers/ modules within the pages since once I remove them the jumping stops, but I need them in place. I have no idea on what I should do and I needed to hand this over to the client yesterday. Help!
Firefox is the most stable with this issue but still skips at times. Its mainly safari, chrome, IE.
Any help is much appreciated. thanks tico

Hi there,
Looking at the CSS it appears you have been changing sizes in Gantry. This is a bad decision as every time you upgrade Gantry you will lose all that work.
The images in the table for projects are 467px each plus spacing between. This means width is 934px plus the middle column, possibly 6px, so width is 940px
The template allows width of 940px less the 15px padding all round - so you only have 910px to play with.
This is part of your problem.

Hey David, Thats for getting back to me. The moving of elements is happening on all the pages, not just projects. I'm looking into the size of elements now. Is there anything else that could be causing this? For example. If I remove all the elements from the pages and just type in text the jumping stops. I than put in an empty table and the jumping starts up again. I did this as a test to narrow down the problem and its something to do with the container/ table.

I suspect you have edited some of the gantry settings and you have different margins or padding under different circumstances. A common one is padding/margin on links.
People make changes for a link but forget to make changes to active/hover css as well.
Not knowing how many changes are involved it could take a while to sort out.

So I decided to made a new joomla/ gantry install and start from scratch as the original site is not that complicated to redo. I had no idea where to even start to trouble shoot the original.
I've been carefully adding in my content, checking the live version with each save. It was going smoothly until I got to the service page. Home and project are staying in place, but services is jumping now. I'm noticing its happening when I added in a table/cells.
Can you help with this version as its a clean install and I haven't adjusted any default perimeters of gantry.

Hi there,
Can you try the following please...
Unpublish the sub menu items for services please. Does this make a difference?
Try adding an empty table to one of the other top-level menu items, perhaps About?
Can you PM me with a temporary Super Admin access to this clean site please and I will take a look to see what the cause may be.
Thanks
Thanks for your patience
