I want to add images as headers in place of the text in the vertical menu header boxes (Category, Best Sellers, Your Cart, News, Authentication, Help etc). I am using the current version of XCart. Any help greatly appreciated.

I know NO PHP at all so please could someone direct me to what part of the code i have to edit. Thanks for the help shan.

I've seen this q asked before with no answer other than what file.

Can someone please elaborate?

Okies, I've mastered the most part of this. Here is a copy of my menu.tpl if anyone needs something to start with. But, I'll warn you - for some reason some of my menus aren't aligned correctly in the right hand side for some reason - so if anyone can help me with that I'd appreciate it greatly

Also, if you use this menu.tpl for a start, don't forget to go into each .tpl (ex. help.tpl) to change the image for the dingbat to your own and config the size as well if needed. And you may need to go into the home.tpl to change some sizes there if your text overlaps to the edge of your background image.

<TABLE border=0 cellPadding=0 cellSpacing=0 width="159">
<TR> 
<TD class=VertMenuTitle height=26>{$link_begin}[img]{$ImagesDir}/{$dingbats}[/img]{$link_end}</TD>
{if $link_href}
<TD class=VertMenuTitle height=26 width=129 background="{$ImagesDir}/menu_1_b.gif"><font class=VertMenuTitle>{$menu_title}</font></TD>
{else}
<TD class=VertMenuTitle height=26 width=129 background="{$ImagesDir}/menu_1_b.gif"><font class=VertMenuBoxNewsTitle>{$menu_title}</font></TD>
{/if}
</TR>
<TR> 
<TD colspan="2" class=VertMenuBox background="{$ImagesDir}/left_nav_bg.gif">
<p style="margin-left: 18; margin-right: 16">{$menu_content}
</TD></TR>
<TR> 
<TD colspan="2" class=VertMenuBox background="{$ImagesDir}/index_55.gif" width="159" height="24" border=0></TD></TR>
</TABLE>

Anyone have a solution for alignment problems?

Next to each dingbat img there is a large empty space before the headings.
I can't get the dingbat to touch the heading.
