    I just installed modx, but the login area on every page is corrupt, do you have any suggestions, i am brand new to modx.

    Thanks...

      Maybe you FTP some text files in Binary?

      Try to to Resources -> Chunks -> WebLoginSideBar

      and let us know if it looks good.

          <!-- #declare:separator <hr> --> 
          <!-- login form section-->
          <form method="post" name="loginfrm" action="[+action+]" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> 
          <input type="hidden" value="[+rememberme+]" name="rememberme"> 
          <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
          <tr>
          <td>
          <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
            <tr>
          	<td><b>User:</b></td>
          	<td><input type="text" name="username" tabindex="1" onkeypress="return webLoginEnter(document.loginfrm.password);" size="5" style="width: 100px;" value="[+username+]" /></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
          	<td><b>Password:</b></td>
          	<td><input type="password" name="password" tabindex="2" onkeypress="return webLoginEnter(document.loginfrm.cmdweblogin);" size="5" style="width: 100px;" value="" /></td>
            </tr>
            <tr>

            that shouldve worked, it is unwacked in the chunks section but still messed up on the site:

              Try to check under Snippets under User Management.

              My bet was that you have uploaded your MODx installation in BINARY instead of text and when you install it, the corrupted BINARY is loaded into the databases.

              You may want to delete everything and reupload using ftp TEXT mode.
