two rows in my header seemed to have vanished...

[irish_1985]

hi all. i'm running zen cart v150. this is my site:

http://www.c u l tivatedreef.com

i've been making some relatively minor tweaks to my store and trying to pick up the pieces from a previous developer....while working on something today, i realized i have a new issue. while trying to edit the dynamics of my links menu (specifically getting rid of the drop down menu that you see when you hover over "new additions" and "coral sales") i've been playing with the code located in a file called tpl_drop_menu.php. the file is located here: www/includes/templates/mytemplate/common/ this seems to be the correct file which controls the dropdown menus.

anyway, i was attempting to fix this issue like i do with all the other issues - trial and error. i save a backup of the original file in question (in this case tpl_drop_menu.php), and then make the edits as necessary on a copied notepad file, which i upload in the appropriate directory via ftp... and then i revert back to the original as the fixes don't work until i figure it out...

i was having some FTP issues earlier, so to make sure the new file was correctly overwriting the old one, i decided to delete the file off the site via FTP to ensure a edited-version was being properly uploaded... the file uploaded, but my edits didn't fix the issue... no big deal, i can just reupload the original file as usual, right? WRONG. i uploaded the original and that's when i lost 2 entire rows of the top portion of my site

so my first question is this: is deleting specific files in your zencart database via FTP a big no-no or something? even if you're re-uploading the same file? i've done this before without issue, so i'm shocked, and extremely frustrated now that i've created a whole new issue on top of the one i was originally going after.

here is a screenshot of the area in question (outlined in red) that's seemed to disappear (taken from archive.org so not exact, but you get the idea):

my second, and perhaps most obvious question, is how exactly do i get this area to appear back the way it's supposed to? using firebug, i believe the two missing rows are defined in zencart as "BannerTwo" and "headBanner"... these codes still exist, and are still on the server, but i'm just not sure what to do. this is the original tpl_drop_menu.php code below:
