genesis theme - class="help" ? why?

Hi,
I'm using a subtheme of the genesis theme. My site has the taxonomy and views plugins enabled. I'm using a custom view with a taxonomy intro and some products.

please check it out for yourself:

Does anybody know why does the flash movie and the intro text appear in a help box?

Thanx

Switch theme to Garland and see if the same thing happens.

with the garland theme the

with the garland theme the page shows up fine. It must be a genesis theme issue. I found the style (called div.help) in the base.css of the genesis theme, but I can't find where it's being called from.

thanks for caring!

Please contact me directly via my contact form, I need high level access to the theme files and your site to diagnose and fix the problem. I am the developer of Genesis, I would like to find out why this is occuring, right now I am a bit stumped so I really need to have a look around. Send me an email, we can get this sorted out today.

Thanks to cirrus3d allowing me access to the site I was able to determine the problem.

The issue is with the Taxonomy Introduction module which outputs its content via the $help variable. As this is heavily styled in the Genesis theme it doens work so well. In Garland the style is very basic so it the Introduction looks OK, but in Genesis you need to do a bit of theming to get it looking good.

Add this to your subthemes stylesheet and all should be good:

.section-taxonomy div.help {
background:transparent;
border:none;
color:#000000;
margin:1em 0;
padding:0 !important;
}

.section-taxonomy div.help p {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

Thanks a million! I would
