Appreciate any input...

sorry no idea what you are trying to explain

are you refering to middle column (where gallery, leave it to us etc etc images are) or left column or something else ?

Thanks for your interest,

Yeah im referring to the category images in centre column (gallery, leave it to us, etc)

basically i had the categories displayed on the front page

Original front page cat display:

CAT 1 | CAT 2 | CAT 3
CAT 4 | CAT 5 | CAT 6

But something i have done, and believe me im trying to get it sorted has displayed them like this:

CAT 1
CAT 2
CAT 3
CAT 4
CAT 5
CAT 6

.... that make more sense? :)

Thanks

Matt

understand your question now ... only because I checked in FF and Opera ... in IE7 it is how you want it .. FF and Opera it is not how you want it ??

am I correct ... or do you mean something else ??

Yes exactly, I generally use FF.

IE displays it as it should be... any ideas on how to fix this so FF and opera display the same?

ok ... try this

in your css stylesheet ... change

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, {
	float: right;
	}

to

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, {
	float: left;
	}

as this covers a few areas then check that changing doesn't affect the otther areas .... if it does then change back to how you had it and add at very bottom of stylesheet

.categoryListBoxContents {
	float: left;
	}

You my friend are most definitely on my Christmas card list!!

Legend!! Appreciate your help!! That sorted the problem and i cant see any other conflicts or issues on the site! Next time im down in london i def owe you a beer or 10! :)

glad to help

notice have removed the zen cart copyright at bottom though ??

I was under the impression that you could remove that? The part at bottom stated powered by zencart and not copyright. The back end all states zencart

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=42

assume you are using zencart template with your own images ?

no problem ... just wondered if you knew you had removed it is all

ahh thanks for the link!! :)
