I've had a left slider on my homepage for several years, and it has worked fine.  It quit working properly sometime in the last 6 months.

Here is the slider working properly, if I only click the Homepage Message editor Save button once:

Here is the slider working improperly, after I click the editor Save button twice:

Here is the code that works:

Here is the code that the editor creates when I click Save two times:

This is the line of code that is being changed, and is causing the problem (it's about 12 lines down from the top).  This is the code that works:

<td class="widgetleft" width="15"><div class="mainwidgetleft">

This is what the editor changes the code to, and is what keeps the slider from sliding all the way out:

<td style="width: 15px;" class="widgetleft">
<div class="mainwidgetleft">


Any suggestions?

Thanks

The code that does not work properly, try using in the CSS the below code. It should make it visible.

I think this code "widgetleft" if you add the code "overflow:visible" it will fix it. Check it out

Code:

.widgetleft {
position: fixed;
top: 20px;
left: 0px;
width: 15;
height: 100%;
overflow:visible;
}

Tried adding the CSS code from Marios94. No change.

Did you add it to the CSS or did you search to find it and you replaced it?

I searched first, but didn't find anything. Then I added it.

Is your forum the one provided on your profile? If yes, as a guest i can see it work perfectly.
Maybe is a cookie and cashe problem.

Yes, this is the forum with the problem:

It's working properly because I only clicked the Save button once.

All I have to do to screw it up is hit the Save button again.

If I right click to look at the source code, it is

<td class="widgetleft" width="15"><div class="mainwidgetleft">

If I go into the AP and look at the Homepage Message code, it is:
<td style="width: 15px;" class="widgetleft">
<div class="mainwidgetleft">

Yes both of the codes you send are the same. its just the one is separated and are not in the same code.. Both codes do the exact same thing..

Suggestions for fixes?

Have you tried adding the code again and saving it once?

That's how I've been doing it for several months.  But every time I make some changes elsewhere in the Homepage Message code, I have to copy/paste this code again.  I don't know how much longer I'll be admin, and I don't want to leave something like this for the next admin to deal with.

Are you using WYSIWYG mode?

I do not use WYSIWYG.

I've narrowed it down farther. The editor changes <td width="15" to <td style=width: 15px;

That's what's causing the problem. I eliminated width altogether, and the slider works properly now.

Problem solved.
