I have customized the text/html module ascx file exactly as I wanted.

So the user just goes to the FCKeditor, selects the styles from the drop down and applies them to the text.  I learned this watching your great videos on Styling and formatting Text/HTML module and FCKEditor. 

when I was all done and proud that I was able to control the look perfectly. 

I added a second module to sit underneath the one I finished.  when I do this the second module lays on top of the first module. 

Like they are both filling the leftpane top position.  Since I commented out the settings menu out of this template.  I needed to write over my ascx file with an original version inorder to delete the second module. 

Have you ever had two modules lay on top of each other?

Thanks

I have resolved this issue. Though I have it working I compared the code using
microsoft word merge and compare and I only found one difference between the code that works and the code that does not. the dnn:title tag had a different id. I changed this but the modules still over lap.

i just back tracked using a fresh default skin and copied sections of my modified code into my corrupt .ascx file. when I was done replacing all the custom code it fixed it. I can still replicate the problem by loading either page, but the code is the same. oh well.

if you are implementing CSS within your text HTML module, double check if you are using the float property. - if there is a float property this could cause elements to overlap each other, so after the float property you need to make sure that you clear both floats. - if you followed the tutorial, I created a clear class, so you could simply add [br class="clear" / ]

note [ and ] replace tags so that the code displays in the forum.

I did watch those tutorials and realized floating does this.  which was cool to learn. 

however I have not used float, well not to my memory.  Unless default.css or some other css in the default dNN comes with some of these properties.   

I have a simple question now. 

I have an image in my ascx file. 

it is just a small reference to top.gif  

the path is correct, the image is there, but it does not display when i run the page on my localhost.

is there something special about images in ascx files?

Images in ascx files work in exactly the same way as in a HTML file. - I would double check the URL to the image by viewing the page source in your DotNetNuke installation. - copy the URL and the page source and paste it into your browser url - does the image display?

Thanks,

Thanks I knew it was simple.

With your help I did get the static path (http://local...../images/top.gif) working, but at first I could not get a relative path working.

scr="images/top.gif" will not work, even though visual studio express does NOT warn that it cannot find the image. So bY simply adding runat="server" to the image tag, it now works with the necessary relative path.
