View Full Version : strikethrough doesn't look right

I've introduced a new variable for RRP which I'm playing with at the minute.

I've done a strikethrough for the RRP which works HERE (http://www.budget-bumps.co.uk/acatalog/Maternity-Summer-Specials.html#aMC_2dBLK_2dDress)

Thing is..the strikethrough looks a bit offset...too low.
I expected it to strikethrough the middle of the price but, for some reason, it doesn't.

Does anyone know why that might be?
Thanks :)

Central for me, although it looks crap i must say, come on bumpsy get it together. Does this (http://www.modelrailwaysdirect.co.uk/acatalog/Hornby-R4273.html) one look offset to you? If so, its your browser.

ooh..on closer inspection...it doesn't look right in Firefox...but it looks fine in IE7

Bit unhelpful really..but an added observation :rolleyes:

yes, Lee...it does (and I'd just figured it was Firefox doing it)

and I know..i know.. I'm not even entirely sure I'm keeping the RRP at all, might just stick to stating it in the description

If I'm honest, I was just bored of entering related products and wanting to do something less monotonous :D

Much like the marquee tag, it isn't even proper html bumpsy, get rid of it at once!

Much like the marquee tag

:eek:
even I wouldn't go that far :D

I just wanted a way of displaying the rrp more conspicuously than just entering it in the description in preparation for the arrival of a secret stash I have coming soon ;)

I think I'll go back to my related products :rolleyes:

You can say SALE like MFI or DFS.

Or you can say 'sale', it means the same - get it quietly and just put it in normal text.

RRP is the biggest farce ever, although some people are taken in by it, so it has it's place admittedly. I much prefer 'Our Normal Price', far more weight IMO.

well ok...it's not an RRP really...it's a tag price...like it says :p

Basically I'm saying "Mothercare were selling it in their stores for £X, I'm selling it for £Y"

I get that the red is an eyesore... point taken :o

Design really aint my thing :D
