Hey Warriors!

I'm using a sales page template that's in a .php file, it's mostly html though, and it uses a table that creates borders around text.

I'm not sure what happened but as I'm cutting things out and adding in my own text, the borders that are supposed to be in the table backgrounds disappear.

The original .php shows borders, but once I start editing text elsewhere in the page, the borders disappear. these borders are .png images.

I'm going to try slowing changing the text and keep refreshing to see what's causing it, but thought I'd check here if it's apparent to anybody what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks!

    HEy ochiam, could you show me an example of your code by using jsfiddle.net, or just paste it here? that way i could solve it for you much more easily.

    ps. why you using images for borders, why don't you use CSS?
    table {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
    }

    thanks

    Sales pages with tables are really oldschool programming (or slicing PSD)...

      Yeh i really agree with micheal, you want just normal div boxes, or just twitter bootstrap for responsive design, and and appealing call to action, big colorful buttons

    Thanks for the suggestions guys.

    I found the problem. I've been trying to customize this sales page using instabuilder and and making a standalone page from it. I just found some table styles in the instabuilder css that is interfering with the sales page's own tables.

    The only reason I'm doing it this way is because this sales page is a series of php pages comprising a sales funnel. I tried to rebuild the pages in instabuilder but it uses a php include that I couldn't quite get to work even using the "php in page/post" plugins.

    The php include calls a config file that has all the pertinent info for the sales funnel, like oto and download page urls, paypal email etc.

    I thought it this might add a layer of some sort of security, but I'm realizing that's probably not the case.

    If I can enter all the variables that the php include calls for, then maybe I can get rid of the php include altogether?

    Does that make sense?

    Thanks for your input,
    Owen
