I have a strange problem. All of a sudden my teasers mess up my theme. Teaser pages created lately are wider than usual and therefore push navigation menu or sign in down. The background color also changes from white to either the color of the side panles or other color (depending on the theme).

I installed lately TinyMCE and some other module. Could those cause the problem?

Hi,

I'm having the same problem.

Did you find a resolution to the teaser list / theme conflict?

Thank you,

OM

This reply was from another post... looks like I had too much html crap in there... I fixed the problem by running all of my articles through notepad.

Found your problem:

You're obviously using a Rich Text Editor to edit nodes?

You've got a tonne of what I would call "crap" html - i.e copy and pasted from Word or other websites:

i.e, looking at your source code, I find lots of stuff like this:

What's happening is that this underlying code is occasionally using div elements, and sometimes the teaser will contain the ending /div, but not the beginning etc.

this means your main body/wrapper div (which gives you the white BG etc) is closing too early, hence breaking the layout.

Go through your nodes, look at the source code and strip all the unnecessary formatting and you should be ok.

I'm having the same issue with a Marinelli site. Very frustrating. I developed my teaser pages as taxonomy terms. The pages that have less than 10 look fine. These pages don't require more than 1 page of teasers listed and don't have the "next... last" at the bottom.

The pages that have the next... last, are messed up... the lack the white background and the right column is placed at the end.

Has anyone figured out a fix for this?

Here's an example of a messed up page:
http://drupal.revivethesanjoaquin.org/category/issue-catagories/editorials

and a clean page:
http://drupal.revivethesanjoaquin.org/category/issue-catagories/land-use...

The strange thing is when I increased the # of teasers per page so the next...last were removed, it didn't fix the formatting of the page...
