It seems something wrong with your template. Try with one of Joomla's default template.
You are right. When I changed the template to joomla native, it worked. Any workaround for the issue with my current template. To chnage the template, I need to startover with certain page/background changes.
As a matter of fact this has only worked with JA_purity template. Not even with other joomla native such as milkyway.
Your help is really appreciated. Thanks for the prompt response.
