modifying header - (tryng to - at least)

storeowner · #1 11-06-2010, 04:30 AM

Here's the link to my Details Page. I'm trying to customize the header wthout removing everything, and just replacing the existing elements with my own html and modifying the CSS.

http://quiltronwebsales.com/x-cart/product.php?productid=17516

Here's the " HTML" for the Header, located in head.tpl.

value="{$search_prefilled.substring|escape}" />
{include file="customer/buttons/button.tpl" type="input" style="image"}
<a href="search.php" class="search">{$lng.lbl_advanced_search}</a>
{/strip}
</form>
</p>

I used the div line 1 / and the logo.tpl for the custom logo and the tabs.

To get the tabs to stop folding underneath the logo field I had to insert a "0" pixel element .

And to position the tabs I had to use in-line css, which I would prefer not to use, but it seems to work on all the browsers.

(I still can't locate the individual tabs so that I can replace the a href for "Home")

Also, as much as I try I can't position the "search" field farther left. The field must be inheriting the position from some other element, but I can't find it. I even tried in-line CSS, which should over-ride all other styling. (?)

I found the footer in: skin1/customer/home.tpl and it is modified with the insertion of the phones/tpl and the language.tpl.

Neither will show up on the screen. All I get is a broken bracket on the left.
