category sidebox margin/padding

**compwhizmm** · 31 Oct 2007, 02:32 AM

Hi,

I'm transferring my online shop from oscommerce to zen cart. So far, zen cart seems so much better.

I need help with my category side box. I have started to modify the template, but I cannot get the category box to fill the entire left column. It has a different background color than the column and it won't fill the whole thing.

Here is what I mean:

This is what it looks like now:

I want it to look like this:

In the layout box configure, both the box width and the column width are set to 150px. I have also tried changing the margin settings in the stylesheet but, nothing I have tried works. Please help if you can. I really appreciate it.

Site url: su mm er hi ll se eds .com/zen2 (remove the spaces before typing in the url, I don't want this to show up in search engines)

Thank You!!

remove this from your css and your good:

Code:

#navColumnOneWrapper, #navColumnTwoWrapper {
	margin-left: 0.5em;
	margin-right: 0.5em;
	}

no problem.

also do a google search for robots.txt or metatag= no, follow

those are the best ways to prevent search engines from hitting your site.

take care.
