Would anyone be able to tell me what the .htaccess file in the root folder is supposed to contain by default? I overlooked the IE6 details in the readme, so after going back and adding those lines of code, I think the original .htaccess was written over by accident. Currently, it only contains the suggested code in the additions_to_htaccess.

My drop down menu is not working in IE6, so I'm hoping to fix the .htaccess file.

This is what my .htaccess on my test site looks like, just change it to your website address:

## Add these to your .htaccess file so that only one way to your site exists, either http://yoursite.com and http://www.yoursite.com ... the following adds the www if it's missing:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^zencart137.jadetrue.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com/$1 [R=301,L]

## If you'd like your site to go to http://mysite.com instead of http://www.mysite.com, add these changes instead:

##RewriteEngine On
##RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.yoursite.com$ [NC]
##RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

## the following makes sure the correct mime type is sent for the .htc file
AddType text/x-component .htc

I have that exact same text in my .htaccess file (in the root folder of course) and replaced the 'yoursite.com' with my domain. Not really sure what else to do. It doesn't seem to matter if the zen cart is installed in a sub directory since yours works well, i.e. www.mysite.com/shopping.

If I'm not mistaken, it seems to only have problems with the home page when first loaded. On a separate web site, I've posted direct links to specific product category pages -- when I click on those links, the page loads up and the menus drop down just fine. I'm not sure if that has to do with something else, but may be helpful in figuring this out.

I see that your test site as well as many others who have used your template don't seem to have any trouble and the menus drop down in IE6. I greatly appreciate your time and continued support with this issue.

I am trying to make the template wider. I went throught 1st 100 messages (and last 20), there are just tooo many.. so I tried this:

.centerColumn {
width:100%;
float:left;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align:left;
line-height:1.6em;
}

but the width is still the same.
P.S. I would like to keep the sidebox

Nope, change that back to the original.

Then change all instances of 70em to a larger number, maybe try 75em, then change all 71em to 76em.

Any ideas?

I know these questions have likely been asked before, but I cannot seem to find it in this large forum (and FAQ would be great).

1. I do not want to use the right side layout boxes. I simply want to use the top menu. How do I disable the right side box area (shaded) so that the main page gets the complete space available?

2a. How can I make the header from about 2" high to about 1" high.
2b. The space between the LOGO and the MENU is about 1/2". How can I shorten that?

3. How do I remove the the small diagonal lines just under the menu items so that the navigation links (e.g. Home, etc.) are immedaitly under the menu? (not just remove the graphic, but also remove that space).

4. Optional: Where would the best place to insert code (if you have any, let me know) to the header to show your Gift Certificate balance?

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I am using your apple_zen 2.3 Green. Great job!
