Child categories (single column) display with a wide gap between them.The site is on localhost so it's impossible to post a link. But, I have attached a screen shot.The issue appears to involve the "itemListsubcategories" div class.I looked for a solution in the forum and came across a possible answer On March 11, Elisa F posted that it might be necessary to insert the following command to clear a white space problem:.clr {clear:both;height:0;line-height:0;display:block;float:none;}
.clearList {display:none;}My HTML skills aren't that good. Could someone please advise/comment?Thanks.

Let's try to rule some things out.

Have you disabled the modules on the page? If so, does the size of the gap change?

Have you tried the Purity or Milky Way template? Any change in the gap?

Hi Mike,

Use your Firebug and check for extra that might have been added.
Which WYSIWYG editor are you using? You might have to look at the source of the item that you have created incase there are the exraor
Not seeing the link directly to Elisa's post, I suspect that she is referring to adding this to the k2.css, found in /components/com_k2/css

Post back.

Thanks.

Thanks for your help.

Disabling one of the modules closes the gap between category boxes.

The module is Interdesigns Slider for Joomla v1.5.x It is a banner slider module based on MooTools Noob Slide script.

Should I simply ditch it and try a different banner module? Or, is there a fix?

I used Firebug to inspect the improperly spaced categories. I tried the fix suggested by Elisa F i.e. amending the ".clr" div class. This action closed the gap, at least in Firebug view.

Using Dreamweaver I then amended the".clr" div class in k2.css. But the problem persisted upon page reloading.

Disabling a page module--Interdesign Slider a banner module based on MooTools Noob Script--per the suggestion of piperchick did work to close the gap.

I am thinking the best/easiest solution is to discard that module. Would that be your suggestion?

Is Frongpage Slideshow by Joomlaworks the better option? Or, should I use a K2 content module to display the desired image?

Interdesign Slider was pre-installed on the Shape5 template which I am using.

Hi Mike,

It will depend on what you plan on put there.
What was you going to use the Slider for?

Maybe consider the Tab and Slides from Joomlaworks.

Let us know.

Hi Mike,

Before you toss the module, re-publish it and try changing your template to one of the defaults (Milky Way or Purity). If the gap is closed with the other templates, then contact the help forums on Shape 5 and post your question there. I had a similar issue with a Joomlashack template and the community there was able to quickly isolate and fix it.

If the Milky way or Purity templates don't work either, then perhaps it is time to consider alternatives to the slider module.

BTW, Simon always gives good advice!
