The only issue is that your single quote is in the wrong place. It should be directly after: 'id=1&chapter=10

Oh.. this is fixed now and I get the drop down menu, however everything else is gone.. I just get the "stripes" and the drop down menu on the top, nothing else! Do I need to make another change(s)?? If yes, where??

Check your syntax again. It sounds like you still don't have that section correct. Did you remove that second single quote? It was in the wrong place.

Please ignore my last post, I got it... my mistake in over writing the main page!!

[ghostcorps]

Putting the shadow aside for a second.

Can anyone suggest why; Sometimes in FF the page loads so that the logo is squashes a little bit, sometimes it doesn't, and when I right click the logo (in FF) something odd happens.

I don't see the squashing issue, but the second issue may be fixed by changing:

#logoWrapperOuter {
	margin:0 auto;
	background-image: url(http://www.fleshmetal.com.au/137/includes/templates/apple_zen/images/header_bg.jpg);
	background-position: center center;
	width:70em;
	overflow:auto;
	}

to

#logoWrapperOuter {
	margin:0 auto;
	background-image: url(http://www.fleshmetal.com.au/137/includes/templates/apple_zen/images/header_bg.jpg);
	background-position: center center;
	width:70em;
	overflow:hidden;
	}

Jade/Jet -

Apple Zen I say. Pretty nifty template you have created and are sharing with the Zen community. Very nice.

Wondering about the horizontal dropdown menu component(s) in the header of your template. Would this be available in a separate mod/package which could be placed in the header of any other ZC 1.3x shop (based on template_default css template). I created my own basic stripped down template in Zen cart 1.37 (based on template_default) and would like to integrate a similar horizontal drop down menu idea such as yours into my header. Any possibilities in doing that? Thanks.

Absolutely! I've been meaning to do this, as the old one floating around has a lot of bugs and issues, and it made me lose about 5 years off my life span trying to fix it... so I'd love to spare someone the same struggle. Thanks for reminding me. I can possibly get to that this afternoon, if not... soon!

I don't see the squashing issue

I'll keep looking into it, It may be local issue

but the second issue may be fixed by changing:

#logoWrapperOuter ... etc

Yep its sorted. Never did know what overflow was for, I'll have to do some googling

cheers.

ps. when you view the site can you see the logo clearly (not jagged) AND the shadows? cos on this end the first issue alternates between no shadow and a clear logo, or a squashed logo, with shadows.

Overflow is for clearing the float without additional markup (without using the <div class="clearBoth"></div>). I was having problems with spacing issues and such across browsers, and decided to use that method for that section. Then I read that you could use overflow:hidden instead of auto, which would get rid of the scroll bars. Here's a page with info about this method:
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2005/...ing-of-floats/

Your logo is perfectly clear on my end. Do you have the latest firefox version? When you say the logo has shadows, you mean the shadows that should be to the left and right of the site?
