Strange Margin/Gap Help Get Rid of Please

Hi All....

I wonder, can anyone tell from the source code what is causing the large gap between the "Lingerie" heading and the box contents here:

there is large space between <p></p> tag in your side box . this might be set into your sidebox module that you have installed for Lingerie, open that module in text editor and remove extra spaces ..

Hi Tony,

Thanks for the reply. I opened all three files that control the additional sidebox but none of them seem to have a <p></p> tag.

Maybe you can see something that I can't?

Maybe it's something simple? I'm a complete amateur but learning every day thanks to the help of people on this forum like yourself :-)

I couldn't find what was causing the gap here but I managed a workaround using a <div style="position:relative; top:-25px"> tag.... This has been a very useful tag in my experience so far with Zen Cart as it's allowed me to fine tune the positions of various troublesome items including the position of my add to cart box!

Found a better solution thanks to PM from tony above....

FILE 1: Replace:

$content .= '<p>' . TEXT_JACKET_SIZES_SIDEBOX . '</p>';

with:

$content .= '<h1>' . TEXT_JACKET_SIZES_SIDEBOX . '</h1>';

Thanks Tony, I owe ya one! Worked a treat...
