X-Cart forums - Problems with Subcategories

Hi,

Is there any way to keep the subcategories from disappearing when they are clicked on. I have been trying everything to not make them disappear. I have the subcategories displayed in in the head.tpl but when you click on the subcategories they disappear, how would you keep them there until a customer switches to another main category?. I only want to go down one level from the main category??

This is what I have in the head.tpl
Don't laugh I know it is ugly :D

Code:

{if $cat != ""}

         {section name=cat_num loop=$subcategories}

        <font class=CategoriesList>{$subcategories[cat_num].category_name}</font>




        {/section}

        

        {else}

{/if}

That code displays the subcategories when I click on a main category, but when I go to click on the subcategories they disappear. I would like them to stay docked in the head.tpl until they switch main categories.

I've have searchig the posts, but can't seem to find anything.

ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Mike
