Excess Header Space

[rod44]

Hello (again!!),
I have been using ZenCart for about 2 months now loading products and tweaking configs and layout. I have a problem that so far I have not been able to find an answer. There is excess space in the center column between the header graphic and the "Welcome Guest!" text that I cannot figure out how to remove. The site is hatnpatch.com and I appreciate any assistance.

Thanks,
Rod


p.s. I am running 1.2.7 as we have almost 3800 items and not ready for the headaches that may arise at this time.

Look at your stylesheet for "leftbox" & "rightboxt"
see if there is margin or margin-top defined. Set to 0 value

Dimi,
Thanks, but there is no top margin or just plain ole margin, only margin-bottom in the css.

Open YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/index.php and remove the table row that contains the <h1></h1> section. Even though you have no text in it, it is taking up space.

Kim,
Thanks for the quick reply. I am using 1.2.7 and think maybe what you are talking about is actually in:

zencart/includes/languages/english/classic/header.php

??????????

I used the Developer Tool Kit for search for the <H1> and it showed:

Line #34 : define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '<h1></h1>');

Is this the ones I should remove to look like this:

Line #34 : define('HEADER_SALES_TEXT', '');

???

Sorry for the tip-toeing arond on this but we are really starting to get visitors and don't really want to make a mistake and whack my site all up.

Thanks,
Rod

OK, I just did what I asked above and it didn't work....

Another option:
Look in your stylesheet for "leftboxheading" rightboxheading" and see what padding or margin values you have. Set them top to 0

Sorry, forget last post. You have a 2px padding-top at ".column_left" ".column_right ". Check this also

Dimi,
THANKS!!! IT WORKED!!! Well, kinda.... Here's what I ended up doing:

In the stylesheet (this is pretty new to me still, I was a 'hard HTML' guy before this) i found:

/*center main section
-----------------------------------*/
TD.pageHeading, DIV.pageHeading, h1 {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000066;
padding-top: 11px;

I changed:

/*center main section
-----------------------------------*/
TD.pageHeading, DIV.pageHeading, h1 {
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #000066;
padding-top: 1px;

and it pulled it all up and looks BETTER!!! WOO HOO!!

Thanks so much!!

Rod

p.s. This community is AWSOME!!!
