Spontaneous <div> creation in 'Featured Products' block

[LostLoon]

Hi all,

 

In our 'Featured Products' block, a <div> is being spontaneously created below the price of items when we edit the description of the item. Here is the text of the html after it happened:

 

 

<div style="height:23px;"></div> is the part that just appeared out of nowhere.

 

It just pops in out of nowhere immediately after changing the 'Short Description' of the item. It hasn't appeared with any items that have not had the 'Short Description' altered recently.

 

Here is a link to the page:

We moved the items with the extra <div> to the bottom row as a temporary fix. When they are in the top row it creates an empty space below the item.

 

Any ideas how to get rid of this <div> and keep it from being created? We can't edit any descriptions at this point without having the layout go haywire...

[Herland]

did you try editing the tpl file?

[LostLoon]

Revealing my skill level here... What is the tpl file? Once I am in, how would I want to edit it?

 

Thanks.

Themes/yourtheme/modules/homefeature/homefeature.tpl if you'd be so kind, would you please upload that file in your next comment in order to see the code?

Here is the code for that .tpl file. Thanks for any input!!

Hello @LostLoon

 

let us know if you managed to fix this :-)

 

regards

[LostLoon]

Thanks Herland. I tried that. I erased it, nothing. I changed the 23px to 0px, nothing. I change the 23px to 5000px just to see if it would make a big space, nothing. I am pretty sure it is coming from somewhere else, but can't figure out where. Again, it only appears when I change the "Short Description" of an item, or at least that is where I have seen it come up.

 

Thanks..

hello

 

you should try to turn force compilation on.Sometimes it is necessary to recompile the template after changes. Can you try it?

[LostLoon]

Force compilation is on, no apparent change... Is it possible this is happening because of any other file?
