Hi ya balinor, i appreciate your help and getting back to me, as before i did orginaly follow Jons previous code for making the item in the cart page
all appear on one line, my problem though i didn't like how big the picture was, i wish to make it smaller like thumb nail size if possible, Jon also gave me the code to cut the picture out completly, but after thinking about it, its better i think to have a small thumbnail picture next to the description of what the customer is buying, since then, i have brought Jons new checkout mod, so the orginal code won't work here, i appreciate your help and efforts regards Dean.
Here is the code for the cart.tpl -
