    Default Arrows for categories with sub-categories

    On my main page I have a category which has subcategories.....I do not want the arrow which sets this category apart on the main page but I am not sure how to remove it.

    If you look on my main page here http://www.fairytalefashions.co.uk/

    you can see half way down on the left hand side what I mean....I just want all categories to look exactly the same on the main page whether or not they contain sub-categories

    Thanks

    Looks like part of the betterCategories mod. You might look at the instructions there.

    You could also replace the -> with an image by adding:

    HTML Code:
    &nbsp;<img src="my_arrow.gif" height="10" width="10">

    Default Re: Arrows for categories with sub-categories

    I am trying to remove the arrow in front of the sub category but I cant seem to remove it. So it stands out from the main category

    I managed to remove the > that was after the sub category.

    Any ideas, you can see what I mean on www.madabouttoys.co.uk

    Thanks for your help

    That is controlled for your template by

    stylesheet.css (line 433)

    #categoriesContent a {
    background: url("../images/sidelink1.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    color: #696969;
    float: left;
    font: 12px Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    height: 23px;
    margin: 0;
    padding-left: 22px;
    padding-top: 5px;
    text-align: left;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 211px;
    }

    You would want to make rules for top and subcategories that distinguish the background to use.

    Thank you for the reply,

    Do I need to just paste the code you have mentioned in the sheet? Will the code then only show the arrow next to the master category e.g Indoor or Outdoor etc

    No, that is the code you currently have in your stylesheet. You will need to duplicate and modify that into more specific rules referencing the .category-top or .category-subs and .category-products classes.
    Remove the

    background: url("../images/sidelink1.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;

    from the rule above, and add it to a new rule below that one:

    #categoriesContent a.category-top {
    background: url("../images/sidelink1.jpg") no-repeat;
    }
