SideBox Anywhere Help

I have been able to install the SideBox Anywhere to work on the first page of a test site, but I am trying to get the products output to align inline so that I have 4 products in a row instead of a vertical design. I have been trying to get a code working, expanding the box size and have used CSS to try to get them to line up... Any ideas of setting this up? I will not be using this side box on the actual store page.

Here is a link to the test page:

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!

Re: SideBox Anywhere Help

That link doesn't seem to work. If I understand what you're trying to do, you can't have a sidebox with a width different from the boxes in the same column, no matter where you place it. If the width specified in admin for the left column is, say, 150px, a Blank Sidebox assigned to that column also has to be 150px wide.

Steve.. I gave you the wrong link... I am testing different scripts on a page here:

http://www.amomentspaws.com/dogtest/index.php

I understand that you cannot get the width to be overridden, I have found that out over too many hours of pulling hair... but is there a way to get a sidebox to go horizontal, or is it all about the width that will cause it?

Thanks again

Re: SideBox Anywhere Help

Sorry, I'm a little slow today, but I don't know what you mean by 'go horizontal'. As you (and I) found out the hard way, the sidebox content can only be as wide as the sidebox, which can only be as wide as the sidebox column. What part of the page you linked to did you want in this blank sidebox, and how did you want it to display ?

Re: SideBox Anywhere Help

No worries Steve... I appreciate the fact that you are fast enought to reply at all :)

I will set the width to 400 and I want the items to be displayed as follows (inline):

A B C D

instead of (list form)

A
B
C
D

I hope the link worked that time for you
