Left Column Alignment

[A Shah]

I wanted to move the all left colums / infoboxes (such as category search etc) as far left as possible (i.e. 1px from the left side of the page - please see http://click9052.serverspace.co.uk ), as currenlty there is a little margin (which is the deafult when installing osc) . Please could you tell me how to achieve this. I suspect the left column is a table within a table, hence the gap.

 

I'm not sure where to make the changes. Would it be in the index.php in the root ? I've had a look at the left_colunn.php t & also each of the individual info box files (categories.php etc), but could not find anything.

 

Thanks.

osCommerce has many tables nested within tables, and even if you declare all margins or borders to be zero your browser will still impose some degree of seperation. Your only real alternative is to completely rewrite the table structure - not recommended unless you know osCommerce very well.

it is basically done in all main pages with this :

 

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3">

 

 

but be aware, like Vger said, be carefull with this, when you lower the 3's it will do so on the entire page and all boxes will kiss eachother.

Look in firefox with developer plugin and you can see the table and cell structures.
