side box text resizing

[ellis200200]

Hi all,

Is there any way i can change the spacing of the text in the side boxes?
Also can i have a different color and point size text for the sub categories?

i would like it to look something like this

As no responses I'll try to be a little more clear and tell you what i have tried all ready.

Putting <br>"top category name" </br> in admin categories gives the correct effect for the spacing IE but has no effect in firefox, im sure that's not the correct way to do it but I'm struggling.

I have also played about with the css adding

.category-top{
font-size: 1em;
color: #666666;}
just to see if it made any changes to the text allowing me to then try to add some padding to space them out a little. No joy!

All im trying to do is have different colour, font size and spacing for the .category-top and the category-products.

can this be done in with css of am i barking up the wrong tree??

Thanks again for any help in advance

Im sure it's a simple fix but it's beyond me.

Just in case anyone else has the same problem!

solved it

first i edited this in the css

a:link, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a {
color: #000000;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:visited {
color: #666666;
text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover, #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
color: #aa0000;
}

a:active {
color: #666666;
}

to

.category-top{
font-size: 1.2em;
line-height:2em;
text-decoration: none;
color: #000000;}

.category-products{
font-size: 1em;
text-decoration: none;
color: #3194b6;}

a img {border: none; }


a:visited {

}

a:hover, #navEZPagesTOC ul li a:hover, #navMain ul li a:hover, #navSupp ul li a:hover, #navCatTabs ul li a:hover {
}

a:active {

}

and all is sorted.

hope this is of help to someone

I've found over many years that if I just talk to myself long enough, I can often solve the problem.

Good goin'. And a very clean looking site. I like it.

P.S.

I'd put back a little bit of colour change in the a:active definition. I find it a little odd when I hover over links and nothing happens. It looks to me as if the link isn't working. It doesn't have to be a dramatic change -- just a slightly different colour would do.

Thanks for that rob,

great minds think alike, the roll colour change has been done
