Hi Lee,

I have built a skin layout using divs controlled by css.  Much of my intial work on the skin came from learning and examining the red leaf skin.  It's been a good 8 months since then and I finally launched my first site.  One of my best features is a library resource center that is built using the latest version of the repository module.  I am using the directory template to list url resources and for some reason when I click visit the target window opens but my initial page does a postback and the skin breaks.  It mainly seems to affect the menus on my skin but it also affects the tabs on my aggregator.  I have moved the repository out of the aggregator but the behavior is still there.  I have changed the page skin to the dnn blue fixed width and the behavior went away.  So I think I can conclude that something in my skin is causing the issue but I'm at a loss as to what.  You can take a look here - make sure to view the site in IE 6 or 7.  FF only seems to have issues with the aggregator tabs.

Thanks for any insight you may be able to offer.

Hi Lee,

All the people who work at my organization are seeing it and so are the parents who have there students in our school.  I thought at first maybe I was the only one seeing it but I am now convinved it is obvious that the skin breaks during postback.

If you did not see it before would you please take a closer look, specifically at the top menu

after postback it looks like this:

Also, in the left pane area, after postback, the black side gradient image does not retain the same width but is truncated  and does not fill the left pane any longer.

The final thing that happens after postback is that the aggregator tabs that the repositories reside in apply a hover class even though it is not defined in the aggregator module css.  This happens in both IE6/7 and FF.

As for your suggestion to use Visit instead of relying on the javascript thats used for postback, I don;t understand how this would work since all the items (URL's to external websites) are stored in the db and must be referenced somehow by the [download] token.

I did notice in your CSS code they have duplicate calls to the skin.CSS file and to the left container.CSS file - have you left in your skin.htm file the code to call up the CSS file?
I'm not sure what you're seeing here...I have one link tomy skin.css file in my ascx file.  I have one left pane that has 3 smaller panes nested within it.  They are all properly defined in my css.

Sorry to be a bother...this is a big deal for my site and I really need to solve the problem.  If there is a work around for this, please advise.  If I am mistaken about how the visit would work, please feel free to correct my thinking.

Thanks,

Paul
