Was hoping someone can help. What do I have to edit to make the box appear center and also take up more of the space. I tried in my html in home.tpl to add centering div tags but it didn't work. Not sure what to edit there either to center it and make the box larger.
If anyone can help I will appreciate it thanks.

I don't see any category box?

Padraic, it's there, but it's hidden/nested (pull down)... black on black w/white text.

Design gurus will tell you this is a no-no for intuitive interface design. If you want people to click on it, they need to see it clearly, and it should be somewhat obvious where to click.

What code are you using for the menus?

Oh...the menu...he said 'box' and I thought he meant a typical side menu.

Sorry this is a little confusing. The dropdown menu thats says Men and then Women, I edited a script called anylink from dynamicscripts for that one. I don't think I am having a problem with that. The issue Im talking about is the box that contains the words "There are no available products under this category." Is aligned to the left. I'm trying to align it to the center and expand the box a little, but nothing I tried has worked to get that box centered. Sorry for the mess as the site is still a work in progress.

Oh that is dialog.tpl. If you set the style of DialogBox in your stylesheet to text-align: center; that should do the trick. However, this will center justify EVERYTHING on your site, as that box is used everywhere.

I guess if everything including the text is centered it wouldn't be very visually appealing. How do other's center there boxes while still keeping the text in the box aligned left? Do I have to maybe edit the html in my home.tpl to do it? Do you happen to know how I can can expand the box 100% where it takes up the whole site? Thanks
