Hi everyone,

I'm new here and was wondering what file I edit to change the HTML layout of the page.

Campusman, welcome to X-Cart! Please start by reading the forum rules, and posting your X-Cart version in your signature:

http://forum.x-cart.com/viewtopic.php?t=6489

Next, try the manual, found here: http://www.x-cart.com/xcart_manual/compiled/X-Cart_4xx_manual.pdf

If you still have questions after reading the manual, please search the forum first, and if you still can't find the answer, post a question. Thanks!

Okay - I've done as you ask. I am still having a hard time finding what the main file with the main layout's HTML. Is layout done primarily in CSS?

Open up the site in Webmaster Mode (covered in the manual) which will show you what each template is. The main stylesheet (skin1.css, also covered in the manual) will control appearance, but not layout.

From what I read in the Webmaster mode, it appeared that this was only to edit the language settings. Thank you for the clarification.

It can also be used to tell you which template is which. It cannot alter the templates, but it can at least tell you which template to edit to achieve the layout you want.
