Help needed to fine tune 1 page - catagories page

muttsnuts · September 2, 2006

Hi folks, I have recently made a few cosmetic changes to my site. I'm not finished yet and pretty much all of the rest I can handle with dreamweaver.

The page i'm stuck with is the catagories page, you know you click a catagory and the products in that catagory are listed - well that's the page.

So far I have made some edits in catalog/products_info.php and also catalog/includes/modules/product_listing.php and it's not far off but if you check it www.liquidq.co.uk and you will see.

Now I openly admit that I am completely rubbish at editing tables especially in code view (dreamweaver).

I made all the edits that I can figure and it's near but I can't quite get it right, also is there some code to edit in index.php ?

obvious problems are: the vertical line down the center is off center. the faint dotted line above the 'Add To Cart' & 'More Info' buttons is off a little, the bar at the top of the table that says 'AMD Quiet CPU Coolers' is slightly shorter that it is on other pages (click on an item and watch it), also the whole table thingy is butted up to the catagory menu box when i'd prefer a small space to separate them and pretty much anything else you guys spot.

Please help. It would probably take an expert about 15mins to get it right, so far it's taken me a week and still no good.

Please take a look around the site, let me know what pages of code need posting in order to rectify.

This is a live shop, i've almost got it done cosmetically.

I'll do anything for anyone that sorts it - well anything legal.

Thanks you good people.

Can you please post the categories tables contained in your index.php (including a few lines above and below just to be sure to get it all)

Thanks

Steve
