Can i replace the word "Categories" in the category box with an image?

I am using zen cart 1.3.8
My site has been upgraded.
I do not have any add ons at the moment.

I have tried to customize the classic zen cart to suite more of my business and aesthetic needs.

ok so answers aside I am trying to change the word "Categories" in the categories box to something more attractive. If you look at my website store.detailershaven.com you will notice that I am using a stylized version of marketing script in the logo. I would like to use the same type of font for the words Categories and Information without changing the font of the actual product categories.

I hope that makes sense.

Here is a picture

Thanks in advance.

Re: Can i replace the word "Categories" in the category box with an image?

I appreciate the prompt response. From what I gather from the link it adds an image.

What I want to do is replace the current word "Categories" and "information" with something I have designed in adobe fireworks or photoshop. Is it even possible?

You mean like I have done HERE ?

If so... view the site in forefox and use firebug to display the CSS.

The clues should be evident in stylesheet.css . . . . right at the bottom of stylesheet.css

Look for the following in my stylesheet:

SIDEBOX HEADINGS WITH IMAGES AND NO TEXT

I am still very new with this. I have been playing around with the stylesheet.css in firefox however I don't see how I would place an image to substitute the word categories and information.

If you could smack me in the right direction I would appreciate it :clap:

I just did... :smile:

I can't do it for you for free, unfortunately.

If you are new to CSS then you will need to do some tutorials on css first. There are some good ones at w3schools.com .

Re: Can i replace the word "Categories" in the category box with an image?

I am by no means asking for you to do it for free.

I looked in stylesheet.css and I can't find that phrase you indicated.

Also in firebug i have expanded shorthand properties and yet when editing the actual stylesheet.css i don't have the expanded shorthand properties?

I would appreciate help from anyone.

Thanks.

You need to look in MY stylesheet - not YOURS.

You are absolutely right. I had a duh moment there.

It worked perfectly. Now all I have to work on is making the nav bar a little prettier lol. Thanks again for your help.

Cheers,
Nick
