I had paid a contractor to create a custom page as well as product page
templates. Her setup was bad and it negated my back office control of many
options on the pages and product screens so I just reverted to the original
page canned format MATTE. Unfortunately there are now many problems with the
pages. This page is a classic issue. There are 2 frames around the parts
listing instead of 1. If you try to click on the add to cart button you end
up getting a PDF file that is linked to the Owners Manual button. I switched
back to the MATTE format in the back office but left her custom template
uploaded. Is there somewhere I need to turn off her template since it
appears to still be in control of the page? The DETAILS button is one that
she placed in the Custom template she created. Help I am totally lost now.

You didn't give a link to the page that is having the problem.
Does one of your page fields (text 1, text 2 etc) happen to have a table
defined that would be used on the pages inside of the main table? Is
there something in your page header or footer that would cause an
additional table?

Below is the link to the page I am talking about. All my pages are now hosed
up. If you try to order a part on this page or view the cart from one of
those buttons you get the PDF file that is the owners manual button. All
those buttons are not linking any longer. I do not believe there are any
problems with the header and footer unless she messed with them as well.

ABOVE IS A LINK TO ONE OF THE MANY PAGES THAT ARE BROKEN
You will see she has not picked up the text 2 from the pages so she added
more junk to the footer to get it to show up. The same thing happened with
the ability to turn on or off the search window from the back office. It
apparently did not show up so she placed code for it in the footer. All the
odd stuff she did took my ability to switch things on and off in the back
office away. Additionally there are a ton of code errors on every page that
is causing havoc with Google indexing.

I can add products from that page without any problems. I don't get a
pdf file clicking on the add, view or details buttons. I used both IE
6.0.2900 and firefox. Maybe it is a brower issue on your end. Have you
tried looking at it with different browsers?
The template below looks very basic and I don't see any particular
problem with it. Although it doesn't have all of the flexibility that
the ShopSite templates you could modify it to do the other things you
want to do. There is a tag that will display the text 2 field > [--
PAGE.Text2 --].
In your product template there is a missing > after the Owners Manual
button. Here is the source
<a href="http://209.250.87.54/aprilaire700.pdf"><img
src="http://209.250.87.54/shop/media/OwnersManualButton.gif" width=128
height=24 alt="OwnersManualButton.gif" hspace=3 vspace=3 border=0</a>
There should be a > after the border=0 . This may be causing all the
rest of the links on the page to function improperly.

Re: Custom Template Was Changed Back To Canned Template

You are correct about the > being missing. I found that problem on many of
the TEXT 1 bins. I am now in the process of fixing that problem. There were
also some issues with a missing </A> after some of the links in the TEXT 1
code. Not sure how all this mess happened unless some code got dropped out
by the developer while she was messing around with it. I did find some code
in the Header that was creating a frame around all the products on each
page. Instead of placing that in the Custom Page Template she placed it in
the header for some reason. I just plucked that out of the header and
regenerated so the pages look better now. The whole reason I hired her was
to improve my rankings and indexing with Google and Yahoo. It looks like she
got the look she wanted but did it in a way that wiped out all my back
office control of product placement, headers, footers, Text 2 and everything
in between. Does anyone have any suggestions to improve the look of my site
or make it more user friendly and especially more spider friendly?
