Removing infobox Headings

[kywee]

Hi,

 

I am trying to bridge the gap of whitespace between my header and custom info box the left of www.ripbalm.com but cannot find the code in which to edit to do so. I am trying to make the left navigation box flush with the splash page on the main /index.php

 

I think it is a combination of the pixel_trans.gif, but I looked in my header.php and did not find any pixel_trans.gif code. I also set the cellpadding in header.php to 0 but that did nothing.

 

<?php
 if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['error_message']) && tep_not_null($HTTP_GET_VARS['error_message'])) {
?>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
 <tr class="headerError">
<td class="headerError"><?php echo htmlspecialchars(urldecode($HTTP_GET_VARS['error_message'])); ?></td>
 </tr>
</table>
<?php
 }

 if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['info_message']) && tep_not_null($HTTP_GET_VARS['info_message'])) {
?>
<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
 <tr class="headerInfo">
<td class="headerInfo"><?php echo htmlspecialchars($HTTP_GET_VARS['info_message']); ?></td>
 </tr>
</table>

 

Any help would be greately appreciated. Thanks!

The settings you're talking about are related to the class box in /includes/boxes/box.php. to change them you need to make a new class or a child of the class box and add the values to the stylesheet.css.

I don't have a box.php in my boxes folder. What style would I add?

In the fill that you have that sets your box contents. You need to remove the first pixel_trans.gif code. you had the right idea just the wrong file. Here is the source of your page with the line you need to remove in RED. Its not the whole source of the page just after the body tag. Should be your column_left.php

 

<!-- body //-->

<!-- Change spacing and padding for main text table borders -->

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

 

<tr>

 

<td width="150" valign="top"><table border="0" width="150" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

 

<!-- left_navigation //-->

 

 

<!-- information //-->

 

<tr>

 

<td>

 

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1" class="infoBox">

<tr>

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

<tr>

<td><img src="images/pixel_trans.gif" border="0" alt="" width="100%" height="1"></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="boxText"><table id="Table_01" width="136" height="288" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>

<td>

<a href="http://ripbalm.com/index.php?cPath=21"><img src="images/left_nav_01.gif" width="136" height="42" alt="" border="0"></a></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>

<a href="http://ripbalm.com/index.php?cPath=22"><img src="images/left_nav_02.gif" width="136" height="29" alt="" border="0"></a></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>

<a href="http://ripbalm.com/index.php?cPath=30"><img src="images/left_nav_03.gif" width="136" height="28" alt="" border="0"></a></td>

I can't seem to find that piece of code in red. I even tried a search in dreamweaver for the code. Here is my column_left.php
