QuickEdit: "Edit Content"-Button disappears

    Hello,

    I am using Modx (v. 0.9.5) as the CMS for our school-website and in my opinion its a great CMS.
    But since I changed my template, I have a strange problem with QuickEdit:
    QuickEdit appears correctly when I am loading the page, but when I move my mouse-cursor over the "Edit-Content"-Button it disappears. The QuickEdit Menu Bar is still visible.
    I am using Firefox 2.0.0.2
    In one Tab there is the Homepage, in the other Tab there is the ModX-Manager.
    I am logged in as Admin.
    The "[*#content*]" is inside a table:

      ...     <td>
<h3 id="post-">[*longtitle*]</h3><br>
[*#content*]
         </td> ...


    Using a template without "[*#content*]" being inside a table, QuickEdit is working correctly.

    I would be very glad if somebody could help me with this problem.

    Thank you,

      Looks like you’ve got an HTML/CSS element naming conflict. Since the QuickEdit buttons are generated by javascript, it’s kind of difficult to troubleshoot, though.

        Hello,

        Thank you for your help.

        I have changed my template like this:

                <td>
	<div id="content">
              
<h3 id="post-">[*longtitle*]</h3><br>
[*#content*]

	</div>
	<!-- close #content -->

         </td>


        and it seems to work now.
        The QuickEdit Button does not disappear anymore.
