Attempting all-css layout, having trouble cleaning up boxes and categories

[riot]

Hi everyone, I'm working on a redesign of an existing site and I have a few obstacles to overcome. The biggest problems I'm having right now is cleaning out all the <table>, <tr>, and <td> tags generated by the code for boxes and infoboxes. That and I'd like to use <ul><li> for the categories instead of nbsp; ->

 

I have categories.php almost where I want it, the code generate spits out nbsp;nbsp; between the <li>'s when there is a subcategory on.

 

boxes.php on the other hand I have no clue where to start! I don't need any table elements for boxes, just an <h3> for the title and thats it. Any help and I would appreciate it, I've tried a few contributions and read through the design basics thread with no luck >_<

Have you tried the following contribution that will convert the categories.php file into a nested unordered list?

No I haven't tried that submission, there were a few that did the same thing, but this seems a lot cleaner. Also, I didn't really want to do the flyouts, but I think I might. Thanks for the help, I think it will turn out nice.

 

Do you know of a submission that cleans up the boxes?

/includes/classes/boxes.php is where you need to rearrange the coding to create better boxes.

 

Right, I just can't make heads or tails of it. I need to simplify it a lot as I don't need any of the corner images or tables

Bump for some help, for the moment I'm going with a static, hand coded include for everything below the nav.
