edit categories.tpl and add your html code where ive shown

{* $Id: categories.tpl,v 1.14 2002/09/10 12:58:26 zorg Exp $ *}
<TABLE border=0 cellPadding=5 cellSpacing=0 width=100%>
<TR>
<TD class=MenuTitleLine height=26 width=26 valign=center>[img]{$ImagesDir}/dingbats_categorie.gif[/img]</TD>
<TD class=MenuTitleLine height=26 valign=center width="80%"><FONT class=TableLeftTitles>{$lng.lbl_categories}</FONT></TD>

Modify this file in your skin1 dir:

customer/categories.tpl

This line (line 10 for me):

<font class=CategoriesList><a href="home.php?cat={ $categories[cat_num].categoryid }">

Would be changed to:

<font class=CategoriesList>&gt&gt <a href="home.php?cat={ $categories[cat_num].categoryid }">

Thanks a bunch man! Awesome...Ok now Maybe I can get a few other simple questions out of the way here.....Ok, here's one, when i goto my page and click a link, it will pop up a blank webpage for like 1 second, and that webpage is the same color as the default x-cart, like a minella color....How can I prevent that from popping up or change that color? Also, I'm gonna need some help with creating extra pages of my own text and html, On my gray gay going across the top of the page, I have what will be links eventually...the colors are the same, so you can't see the text, Can you please explain in detail how I would go about creating my own page to add in the middle? Thanks? I am aware it is in the FAQ's, but I can't make sense of that, and I don't wanna screw up my cart. Thanks!

Ok, scratch that one question about the page background, i did that!!

[ArlyDude]

Ok, here is my last question before I goto bed. If you goto my webpage... http://www.digitaladdition.net/xcart/customer/cart.php and look at the left menu item headings...ie: Categories...Help...You will see there is a little bit of black before each of my headings...how do I get rid of that? Thanks!

Hi ArlyDude

The offending piece of code is in the single/home.tpl template:
<table border=0 width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align="center">
<tr>
<td class=TableLeft width=6 rowspan=2></td>
<td class=TableLeft width=150 valign=top>
{if $login eq "" }

If you remove this line the gap disappears.

Sorry, forgot to say change this in customer/home.tpl aswell.

It appears that Arlydude has figured out a part that I havent

I used your instructions FunkyDunk and removed that line.. there still appears to be some padding however, where do you remove the cell padding?

Heres my post from earlier with the cellpadding in red
