"I've removed the s-description code"
fairly common ... if you have something like
<div>Here is my short description</div>
and u shorten it by the std. code shopFunctionsF::limitStringByWord($product->product_s_desc, 60, ' ...') you easily end up with
<div>Here is my short....
now u have one div extra which breaks the whole layout
I use
$sdesc = strip_tags($product->product_s_desc);
echo shopFunctionsF::limitStringByWord (strip_tags($sdesc, 60, ' ...'))
