Hi Balinor,
I am enclosing the code from the manu_tpl below.
<table cellspacing="1" width="100%" class="VertMenuBorder">
<tr>
<td class="VertMenuTitle">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"><tr>
<td>{$link_begin}<img src="{$ImagesDir}/{if $dingbats ne ''}{$dingbats}{else}spacer.gif{/if}" class="VertMenuTitleIcon" alt="{$menu_title|escape}" />{$link_end}</td>
<td width="100%">{if $link_href}<a href="{$link_href}">{/if}<font class="VertMenuTitle">{$menu_title}</font>{if $link_href}</a>{/if}</td>
</tr></table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="VertMenuBox">
<table cellpadding="{$cellpadding|default:"5"}" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr><td>{$menu_content}<br /></td></tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
As you can see this is slightly different code than what you posted but it is the original dafault tpl that I recieved with this version of xcart.
I have tried removing from
<td class="VertMenuTitle">
through
{/if}</td>
as well as several other things all of which produce various errors.
I admit to being a newbie at a lot of the .tpl but have been having pretty good luck with it for the most part.
FYI- I have tried making the changes through my ftp but have also tried the internal editor with no luck.
This is a standard template. but does have an xcart modules Fancy_Categories skin for the nav buttons that appear in the vert menu box.
I have looked at the tpl's included with this and there is no reference to the dingbats here, and there is not a differnet menu.tpl
The only difference appears to be the category.tpl, the new one supplied being called
fancy_categories.tpl
thanks for hte help
