displaying sub-categories

[kjb]

hey, i can't seem to get my subcategory listing correctly placed. i had the cart set up to show my subcategories stacked on the right side of the page, and i can not seem to figure out where nor how to do this. i have the admin>max values > cats per row set to zero which lined everything up wonderfully - until i added an image to each category page with the html editor and now all the categories appear below the image instead of on the right side of the page

i want

***img*** sub cat
sub cat
sub cat
i'v emodified the barebones templat but as you can tell i just dont know what i am doing beyond that.

thanks

Add this to your stylesheet.css:

.categoryListBoxContents img {float:left;}

until i added an image to each category page with the html editor

As you state you added this via the editor - I doubt that the css recommendation will have the desired affect.

well, the site is not live yet, so i have attached a few screenshots to explain what my situation is,.. sorry i didn't think to do that in the first place.
here is a shot of how i have the subcategories stacked to the right - i have Categories To List Per Row [in max-values] set to null to achieve this.

then i added an image 'by hand' via the html editor as mentioned earlier. this simply moves all the subcategories downward.

so, what i really want is the category links stacked up along the right side of that image. all i can get now is aligned along the bottom of the image as seen in underneath03.jpg

since the image seems located correctly the suggestion to use .categoryListBoxContents img {float:left;} prolly won't help - although dagnabit, i sure don't know how to do the css.

i am also not clear if the problem is the css - although i imagine something must change at the code i pasted below - it may very well be a tables issue. maybe i need another column within the table which contains this ....

<div id="categoryDescription" class="catDescContent"><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.haleysboutique.com/catalog/images/category/womenfront.jpg" /><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>
<!-- BOF: Display grid of available sub-categories, if any -->

<div class="categoryListBoxContents" style="width:33%;"><a href="http://www.haleysboutique.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=9_12"><img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" alt="Jeans" title=" Jeans " width="1" height="1" /><br />Jeans</a></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />


i just don't know.
for the moment i will see if bottom aligning the category links is ok and proceed to turn the site live - so ,maybe then it will be easier to diagnose.

thanks

It looks like you have the column grid module installed and this affects the product listing. If this is not your issue then a link to a page where you have the issue

[kjb]

i do have column grid mod installed - but i never imagined it to cause this problem. the products line up fine-n-dandy. it is the subcategory links you see under the image on a main category such as Women or Men or Accessories,
Under Women located at
http://www.haleysboutique.com/catalo...=index&cPath=9

you will see Tops - Tees - Jeans : these were all lined up along the right of the image - until i manually added that image via the html editor.

i am beginning to believe this is a Tables issue, maybe not CSS - but iduno yet.

thnx kobra

I looked at the link provided and did not see Tops - Tees - Jeans anywhere??

Additionally, where you state these were all lined up along the right of the image - until i manually added that image via the html editor. is confusing???

They were lined up to an image but then you added an image???

well, thanks to the customer this is purely educational now as he prefers the way things are, so no need to do what i wanted to in the first place.

But, if anyone would like to explore the question i would be happy to explain better,...

The example i posted is no longer viable since the sit went live as is/was at the time. My confusing remark about aligning to the right of an image * should have read * aligned to the right side of the screen in a column placed where it would be to the right of an image if there were an image in that location - as i was trying to show through the bad links, and which you can see if you take a peek at the three attachments i included in an earlier post to this thread. 5th November 2007 07:56 PM
if these attachments are inaccessable for some reason i can email them to anyone who cares to look. just let me know.

i really did prefer the linkage and image alignment i am struggling to describe. maybe i should cut and paste a mock-up with gimp. hmmmmm.... if anyone wants, i will.
