How can I solve this checkout issue?

During checkout, the customer is presented with a coice to add "Special Instructions or Order Comments"

How can I disable that option?

Turn it off by using CSS -

#comments {display: none;}

Display your site in FireFox AFTER you have installed their web developer toolkit add-on.

Then use the tools in that add-on to identify style classes and id's on relevant pages.

Then apply Kim's solution to the stylesheet(s).

Not to hijack a thread, but...

I've got same issue and zero experience with css/stylesheets.

FF Firebug shows this code for the unwanted order instructions.

Current code:

<fieldset> <legend>Special Instructions or Order Comments</legend> <textarea rows="3" cols="45" name="comments"></textarea></fieldset>

Want to change to:

This works fine in the Firebug "preview" mode, but I can't find the actual code to edit in [/store/includes/templates/my_template/css/stylesheet.css].

Looking at stylesheet.css in A-GoLive...

'CSS Definitions' tab: Wow... Confusing.
'Source' tab: Don't see the code.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

What you see in Page Source on a browser is the RESULT of the activity of the PHP.

Zencart does not "store" the raw HTML... it is ASSEMBLED by the php only when someone clicks a link to that page.

If you don't understand CSS, then you will have to learn it. There are no short cuts to being a proper "webmaster".

w3schools.com has some very good tutorials (it's where I started) and there are many other resources for learning this on the www.
