    help question Text size and description positioning.

    Hi all. I am almost finished my website but have those few taks left that boggle.
    On my home page I have unknowingly changed the font size for "Featured Products" and "Monthly Specials", the other pages are text csize correct; but, do you think I can figure out where and how I made the changes, oalso how to fix it? Any help appreciated.
    My second query regards the category/subcategory pages that include a description of the category. I wish to have my subcategory navigation above the description, not below. I have followed a few links on the forum but so far nothing has worked for me.
    Thanks...here is the site.

    This is near the end of your greeting text:

    <font face="Arial" size="3">

    The <font> tag isn't closed. so that heading starts at that size and is increased to 150% in the stylesheet.

    Close all the <font> tags in that text, or, much better, enter that copy in plain text, wrap it in a <div> and style it in the stylesheet.

    2. Open includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_categories.php. Find this:

    <?php
    // categories_description
    if ($current_categories_description != '') {
    ?>
    <div id="categoryDescription" class="catDescContent"><?php echo $current_categories_description; ?></div>
    <?php } // categories_description ?>

    Cut it and Paste it under this:

    <!-- EOF: Display grid of available sub-categories -->

    Save the file to includes/templates/andover_modern/templates.

    Thankyou Stevesh, I now have my subcats above my descriptions...
    However, what page are you looking at to find "<font face="Arial" size="3">". Even with the Firefox thingy I cannot see where I need to correct this????
    Thanks.

    It's your greeting text, probably in define_main_page.php

    buy their needs to make their experience a little more accurately period - or at least, further from mundane.<p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0pt; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 2px" align="left">
    <font face="Arial" size="3"> </font>

    Adding the green part should fix your problem.

    My guess is you created it in some other program and pasted it into that file. It's a much better practice to use the built-in editor or paste it as plain text and do the styling in the stylesheet.

    Thankyou that did fix it. I had spent ages looking through all my files and there it was in the admin panel....takes a second person's perspective sometimes. Thankyou so much.
