Trying to make my header static

[strugglingnovice]

I'm trying to freeze my header at the top of the page while scrolling - the only thing I found was the following from another thread, which I inserted at the bottom of my style sheet but it didn't work -

.main_block {
height: 241px; overflow-y:scroll;
}

I obviously don't know what I'm doing here, can someone help me with the correct coding to make it do this, please.

Thanks once again, you guys always bail me out!!!!! You've been such a help on this site, thanks to you, I'm getting closer to a finished cart...

That is very unconventional - what are you trying to accomplish with that sort of change?

[strugglingnovice]

I just want all the information on the header bar to always be visible, as my page will be lengthy with product images, I don't want people to have to scroll back up to click on the links (Log In, My Account, Shopping Cart, Checkout) that are imbedded in the top bar.

I am not sure is it is possible with Zen, but maybe you could let the sideboxes automatically scrol down.

This can be don on "normal' sites.

Almost anything is possible with Zen Cart, but that doesn't mean you should do it.

How large is your header going to be? Would that real estate be better used for selling your merchandise?

Here's my main page - the rest is still under construction -

Maybe I don't need that scroll effect, I just thought it would simplify things...

This works with a stock Classic template site:

#headerWrapper {position:fixed; width:750px;}

#contentMainWrapper {margin-top:21em;}

but not with your template, probably because of the intermediate divs.

Might give you someplace to start, though.

Also, position:fixed doesn't work in IE6.

Steve, you ALWAYS come through for me. Thanks so much, I'll work with this...

I have another issue, and that's in my products sub-category - my shirts are in a row, not a column. I've been through all the settings, can't seem to correct it.

I know there is a mod u can install to correct this issue, the column layout grid, but i'm using a cherry zen template for my build and the column layout grid is already built into the template, so i don't understand what i need to do.

Grrr. Do you have another category (or subcategory) that has more than one product in it, so we can see if the problem is across the board ?

I added another item to a sub-category so i would have two items, I have the same problem -
