actually, she is asking for something different..

 

She wants the categories box to actually server as TWO boxes..

 

The header would have two text links

 

Categories Manufacturers

 

By defualt, the categories would show in that box, but if you click manufacturers, then the categories would be replaced by manufacturers.. its seems to me like a simple if statement to say if "this link" clicked, show THIS box. Then you can have two separate boxes, but they would have the same style.

 

just a guess, i am not a coder

[spooks]

Oh, did'nt spot that, only took v quick look, its two expanded category boxes with some css switching. Just needs some coding to achieve.

[lindsayanng]

that is what i was thinking.. Just switch which each link.. you can ask me to code it though ;)

Forum search SUCKS! Try it and see if you agree.

[spooks]

Most know, thats why they use google with site:http://www.oscommerce.com/forums plus query

to find things.

[♥geoffreywalton]

Certainly does, you just have to keep looking and trying.

 

Have a read of the last but one post post in the first link when you google

 

site:www.oscommerce.com/forums "how to search"

 

2003 to now , no change.....

ok, i did just say in my previous code that i can not write code. I am just not good at it and i hardly have time to work on my own site let alone code someone else's stuff. A lot of people on here help me with things so, so i try to give back by helping as much as i can, but unfortunately, custom coding is NOT my expertise. I am good at trouble shooting, finding issues, and explaining things to new people (because i am still new)

 

i suggest you just read up on html and php. Maybe find a snippet of code from somewhere else to help you
