Oh, I'm used to following CSS code properly, but PHP, JavaScript, and Smarty tags are being interjected and the divs are not commented as to what they belong to, so I'm left counting divs. The documentation talks about having a solid knowledge of HTML (check), CSS (mostly check), and Smarty Tags (not so much). Nothing about PHP and JavaScript.
I'm still futzing with this. One thing I've learned about CSS in the last 6 years is you want to be careful about how many position: absolute rules you put on the page (straight from the posts of the experts on CSS-Discuss). Things can break very quickly. And they are.
I'm trying to move the header down, the tabs (absolute position) over the top of the header, the search box (absolute position) up to the upper left, and get the nav bar back where it should be, as soon as I can figure out what it's called in the template and CSS. I can't get those to move. I also can't get the left sidebar boxes out of the middle of the page. Arggg. I've made slight progress today.
The template editing screen *kind* of feels like I'm editing templates on my iPhone - the area is so small.
This is one of X-Cart's generic templates. I'm trying to customize it, which is supposed to be easy according to the website, but not so much. Same thing I encountered with Zen Cart. Supposed to be a piece of cake, but more like a nightmare. This is slightly better than Zen Cart.
I just got my book on Smarty tags from UPS. We'll see how much that helps.
Thank you for your help - I really appreciate it!
