#1 is really a question for another part of the forum, I've never done that and am not really sure about that.

#2 did you change the setting in your admin under "Configuration", "Layout Settings", "Shopping Cart - Show Totals"?

Thanks, that did the trick....

Now I have a different and bigger issue. There seems to be a "significant" discrepancy between browsers (always is). On Opera, everything looks ok and the width is about 770px (using the narrow version) but in IE6, IE7, FF, it displays it way wider. I would estimate about 820px wide. What gives?

Thanks in advance...

That's just normal. I've designed the site so that the width resizes as people increase their font size, and since IE has a font that is larger by default, it will be wider in IE.

First off I love the template!

Can you tell me how I can edit the ABOUT US section? I can usually figure stuff like this out but I don't know if I have to create a file or if one exists I cant find where it is.

Second is can I have more than 4 sideboxes? How do I add additional ones? Sorry for the dumb question but I cant seems to add one properly using t his template.

Did you follow the instructions for adding the about me page in the readme.txt? If so, then you adjust it at the Define Pages Editor.

Ok, so if I were to change it to fix width, do I simply replace all instances of the "width:**em" to "width:770px"? Would that do it or is there something else I would need to modify?

Thank you..

You'd need to change font sizes to px too, and basically anywhere that is sized with em's. But then you'd lose the coolness of the site looking the same even if font is resized (sideboxes run out of space, menus run out of space, etc.). Yes things are a little larger in IE... but its all relative. Your customers will probably not be comparing browser to browser side by side.

Ok, to spill the guts...The reason for this is because the LOGO I made at the top has graphics on the right side, so if it is in IE,FF..etc, the LOGO is not displayed properly as it moves to the left with a gap on the right due to it being smaller in those browsers....

Unless there is a good way to go around that, I would have no choice but to make it fix width...Dont' get me wrong, I would much rather it be liquid but LOGO is important in my case.

Thanks...

I would need to see the website to offer some suggestions. Also, if you upload a larger than needed image for the logo, and specify its width in em's as the original logo with the template is done, the logo will resize with the site.

Hi jettrue!

The help you gave me last time was perfect! But I got another problem now!

My header is perfect in Mozilla Firefox but has a strange red line in IE,

see http://winkel.smileysmart-grow.nl/

How could this be? Css?( I did change some of the settings from em to px)
