Hi Folks,
I've just noticed that when viewing my site http://www.crowdedbrain.co.uk via the iPad's Google Chrome Mobile browser that it tends to ignore the Override.css code that I have setup.
I specified that the top Ad should float to the left and while this displays correctly in Safari it does not work in Google Chromes Mobile browser.
I have attached comparison screen shots to the post.
Here is the code that I use in the override.css file to achieve the result. Possibly something is not working with this?
body[data-tablet="true"] #gkTopBanner {
float:left;
}
However I believe Google Chrome does not even load the Override.css file because removing the above line of code and adding display:none !important; for example, does nothing in Google Chrome Mobile.
Any ideas or is this just a bug with Google Chrome Mobile?

Please add your code to tablet.css and mobile.css because media queries may overwrite default 'desktop' styles.

Thanks for the reply.
I added the code to the tablet.css files etc but it did not work, I think Google Chrome Mobile is actually taking the css from the main template.css file.
I simply changed the default code in the template.css file..
And changed this to...
#gkTopBanner {
float: left;
margin: -16px 0 10px 0;
}
However as this pushed the banner out for the desktop version I had to add an extra line of code..
Now Google Chrome Mobile displays the banner, albeit a little out still, but it is a lot better than it was
Thanks though for the heads up.

- Code: Select all
#gkTopBanner {
float: right;
margin: -16px 0 10px 0;
}

margin: -16px 0 10px 0;

}
