Solid background for Categories sidebox

Hey yall,

First off, the site I am working on is www.johnmorganmd.com/zencart/. And I am using the newest version of zen-cart. Now that I have the basics, let me explain my problem.

I found another zen-cart site that I am trying to emulate an idea from. On this site: http://www.stonesoupsurvival.com/ the category links are enclosed in a table cell and hence have a background that looks good.

I have tried adding <li> tags at the beginning of the category name in the catalog age (ie, <li> anti-aging), but there is still a white boarder around the link.

this is the addition to stylesheet.css (and no not that ugly color but it will do for testing purposes) :smile:

#categoriesContent li{
list-style:none;
margin-left: -2px;
background-color:#CCC;
}

Any one know how to add that "button" look? Thanks guys.

That particular site is using a CSS flyout menu mod from Free Addons. If you want the "flyout" feature, you need that mod; if not, then Categories Dressing will give the ability to create "button" styling among many other options.

And the site you reference does not use table cells to get the look - it uses nested <ul> lists, as does Categories Dressing.
