#####################################
Now you can have a CSS-based flyout menu for your Zen Cart categories sidebox!
To see what it looks like, view the enclosed screenshot.jpg
It's currently configured to go up to 5 subcategories deep, but can be set to
however deep you desire it to go.
############################
Installation
----------------------------
1. Unzip the package, retaining the folder structure.
2. Read the following notes before proceeding to copy all the files to your site,
Before copying, take care to rename the "YOURTEMPLATE" folders to match your
custom template's foldername.
3. You need to enable the categories_css sidebox.
Go to Admin->Tools->Layout Boxes Controller and enable the new "categories_css" sidebox.
4. Of course, you don't need to upload this readme.txt or the screenshot.jpg ... :)
