lindsayanng Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Why wold you want to remove them? The goal of MOST e-stores is to make the fewest amount of clicks possible to go from index->product->checkout.. The BEST thing to do is add a hover style drop down or flyouy menu.. this way there are NO clicks to get to the category that they want. A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP. My time is valuable, unless i ask you to PM me, please dont. You will get better help if you post publicly. I am not as good at this as you think anyways! HOWEVER, you can visit my blog (go to my profile to see it) and post a question there, i will find time to get back and answer you Proud Memeber of the CODE BREAKERS CLUB!!
