Re: Align Categories Top Left

and what is all this?

<div class="sb-inner" style="position: relative; top: 8px; height: 2048px; margin: 0pt 1px; padding: 0pt; overflow: hidden; background-position: 0pt 0px;"></div>

height 2048px???? that can't be right.

I use the rounded corner mod for 4.3.2, and that's the stuff I can't seem to locate man.

Re: Align Categories Top Left

Webmastermode should tell you exactly which template to look in.

For the help section, in the default 3.2, the ul/li code is in skin1/customer/help/menu.tpl.

But you might not have to mess with the templates. You can set the margins and padding for the ul and li in the css file. For example, you could try something like:
.menu_bottom ul {margin-top:1px, padding-top:1px;}

If you need to add a class specifically to those ul/li, then you will need to figure out the templates in Webmastermode. In 3.2 - this would involve several templates.

A little more advise - before you get too far along, you might want to keep an IE browser open as you do this. It is less forgiving of some of the things you are doing and will point out issues with your changes. Also may want to run a W3C check on html and css every once in a while. It could save you time in the long run.

Re: Align Categories Top Left

that is the contents of skin1/help.tpl not skin1/customer/help.tpl

You need to make sure you are looking in the correct files.

I can change the overall look and stuff in languages, but I can't figure out where the left padding is coming from. Can't use Webmaster, cause they're links.

Truly appreciate the advise.

Roger that man, it's just all jacked up in IE.

I hate IE, but the average users, use it. Looks great in Safari, looks good in Firefox, looks hella good in chrome.

IE is just jacked, and I have no idea how to fix that. That's just way outside of my realm.

What's a W3C check man?

I'm very new to this, my thing is graphics and making t-shirts. I've learned more css coding in the past month than I ever wanted to.

You could always pay someone like me or the others in this community to do things like this.

It might seem like a waste of money, but I could of had this fixed in 10 minutes for little cost.

Then you could spend you time doing what you do best, running your business.

In the long run, if you are going to operate a successful e-commerce site it will benefit you greatly to have a design pro on your side, or better a in house professional.

I know Ashley.

I've watched your posts for a long time before I even joined. ;-)
Give a little bit of information, and then give the pitch. It's awesome my friend, I totally understand.

I want/need to do this on my own, hopefully with your guys help. I need to learn this.... If anything else than just for my own self esteem...

Once, I get everything in place, exactly where I want it, then I'll kick down some cash to fix the IE crap. That way you know the outline.
