Removing the bottom menu bar

Hello everyone,

Just a quick question for the "people who know".

I have cloned the classic 1.3.9d template and have started to do some customisation (still a long way to go). I tried to find a way to remove the bottom menu bar and couldn't find any information in the forums. I finally found a solution which works, but would like to have the opinion of people familiar with CSS and the way Zen Cart works, not very easy for novices really.

What I did: I edited two parts of my /includes/templates/my_template/css/stylesheet.css and added what appears in red.

.... 
#navMainWrapper, #navSuppWrapper, #navCatTabsWrapper {
	margin: 0em;
	background-color: #abbbd3;
	background-image: url(../images/tile_back.gif);
	padding: 0.5em 0.2em;
	font-weight: bold;
	color: #ffffff;
	height: 1%;
	}

#navSuppWrapper {
        display: none;
        }

#navCatTabsWrapper {
	background-color: #ffffff;
	color: #9a9a9a;
	background-image:none;
        display: none;
}
....

The above removed the menu bar, which is what I wanted to achieve.

The second change was in another part of the file and the red text was added as shown:

....
/*The main content classes*/
#contentColumnMain, #navColumnOne, #navColumnTwo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents, .categoryListBoxContents, .additionalImages, .centerBoxContentsSpecials, .centerBoxContentsAlsoPurch, .centerBoxContentsFeatured, .centerBoxContentsNew, .alert {
	vertical-align: top;
	}

/*.content,*/ #productDescription, .shippingEstimatorWrapper {
	/*font-size: 1.2em;*/
	padding: 0.5em;
	}

.alert {
	color: #FF0000;
	margin-left: 0.5em;
	}
.advisory {}
.important {
	font-weight: bold;
	}
.notice {}
.rating{}
.gvBal {
	float: right;
	}
.centerColumn, #bannerOne, #bannerTwo, #bannerThree, #bannerFour, #bannerFive, #bannerSix {
	padding: 0.8em;
	}

.smallText, #siteinfoLegal, #siteinfoCredits, #siteinfoStatus, #siteinfoIP {
	font-size: 0.9em;
	}

#siteinfoLegal {
        background-color: #fff8dc;
        }
....

This gave a light yellow background to the legal information at the bottom of the page.

My question is: did I did something wrong, stupid, acceptable, correct or what? The effects can be seen at http://athenscollectibles.info

Thanks in advance to anyone who cares to have a look and wishes for a nice weekend to all.

Re: Removing the bottom menu bar

How about Configuration > EZ-Pages Settings > EZ-Pages Display Status - FooterBar?
Not certain if that will disable the whole bar...

Re: Removing the bottom menu bar

Thank you for the quick response Glenn. That's what I had tried before changing the stylesheet.css but it didn't work and the bar remained in place. To be honest, I still don't know what EZ-Pages are, that's a future lesson!

Do you think that the changes I made will be harmful to something else?
