Adding styles for all Categories

Hello fellow Zen Cart users, i'm wondering how to make a global stylesheet for all my category pages only. I don't want to make a stylesheet for each category page. Is this possible. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

A link to your category page and a detailed description of what you desire will go a long way to getting responses

The link to my category page is http://qualityautowi.com//index.php?main_page=index&cPath=8. I just wanted to know if it is possible to create a global stylesheet for all my category pages only and have a different stylesheet for everthing else. I know how to create separate stylesheet for each category page as per the instructions on http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Customisation_-_Templates_-_Stylesheets_-_Per-Page-Rules. I hope that clears everthing up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Since product listing pages (which is what you are referring to) share the "index" pagename with category listing pages and the homepage, there is not a way in stock Zen Cart to refer to only those in a per-pagename stylesheet.

Agree with kobra. Post something to help us help you.

Jeff, posting useful responses is better for making your service look good than meaningless "me too"s.

GodfatherAntiques,
The page you posted has a blank center column????

They must be working on it and have an error at the moment - the output cuts off after

It was good yesterday.

Thank you all for comments. I understand that you can't have one stylesheet for all category pages only. What I want to accomplish is when you hover over each product row you can click anywhere within that box and it will take you to the product info page. The file that controls the information on that page is below. Also when you hover over the row I want all text to turn white. I hope this makes sense. I've had a lot of trial and error and i'm not getting anywhere. I'm not an expert with php, but i'm sure it's not difficult to accouplish this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
