I created a new tpl file to show up under the search.tpl. I placed it in the head.tpl under the search.tpl. No problem. Everything works but I can't get it to exspand the width 100%.

You see the links, Home,,,,,,
The blue line won't exspand 100%

any suggestions?

sorry about that balinor

Anybody?

Hi Terrybraley,

In Firefox on a mac, the two blue horizontal lines already stretch to 100% of the width of the "page". Do you want the blue lines to stretch to 100% of the viewport?

regards,

Um.. in your "hor_categories" why is the table width="0" ?

[Terrybraley]

If tried changing it to 100%, does no good.

I see some other potential problems... in your head.txt file (which I assume is head.tpl)

as far as the :
<tr>
<td class="" width="100%">{include file="customer/hor_categories.tpl"}</td> <<<<<< this will be inside the cell above that includes your login.tpl (and that cell is not closed)
</tr>

It added the links below the search.tpl

Look at www.roadrashapparel.com/novelties/home.php

But it doesn't exspand 100%, not on IE

[JWait]

I think the table that you have both search and login is "wrapping" to the next line.
Try this...

<TD class="HeadLine" height="22">
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="customer/search.tpl" }
{/if}
</TD>
<TD class="HeadLine" height="22">
{if $usertype eq "C"}
{ include file="login.tpl" }
{/if}
{* added to close cell and start categories in new cell *}
</TD></TR>
{* / added to close cell and start categories in new cell *}
<tr>
<td class="" width="100%">{include file="customer/hor_categories.tpl"}</td>
</tr>

++++++++++++++++++++
Since the "class" in the code above is blank ("") it will show as whatever your default text is, is that what you want?

Also, I don't understand why the table in hor_categories is only 430 px wide. That could be what is making the "gray bar" only go half way across the page. The blue line goes 100%.
