Change menu design

[bongo]

Hi,

 

I have an oscommerce site i want to change my plain mennu on. I have already figured out all the html around on the site, but when i comes to categories part i get stuck.

The design i want has instead many pictures basically on pictures that are transparent and a bakground colour.

 

When i try to change categories.php to look like i want i always get an T_LNUMBER error on the line i have inserted.

 

Here is the text im trying to insert in categories.php file.

 

tr><td height="25" align="left" valign="top" id="L1"><table width="204" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" >

<tr align="left" valign="top">

<td width="31" height="25" valign="middle"><img src="media/L1_bulet.png" alt="" width="31" height="10" class="png" /></td>

<td width="173" style="padding-right:5px;" valign="middle" class="png" ><a class="Left_links'.">

 

I have tried to insert it in like this

for ($i=0; $i<$tree[$counter]['level']; $i++) {

$categories_string .= ".'<tr><td height="25" align="left" valign="top" id="L1"><table width="204" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" ><tr align="left"

 

align="top"><td width="31" height="25" valign="middle"><img src="media/L1_bulet.png" alt="" width="31" height="10" class="png" /></td><td width="173" style="padding-right:5px;"

 

align="middle" class="png" ><a class="Left_links'.">";

}

 

and like this

if (isset($cPath_array) && in_array($counter, $cPath_array)) {

$categories_string .= '<tr>

<td height="25" align="left" valign="top" id="L1"><table width="204" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" >

<tr align="left" valign="top">

<td width="31" height="25" valign="middle"><img src="media/L1_bulet.png" alt="" width="31" height="10" class="png" /></td>

<td width="173" style="padding-right:5px;" valign="middle" class="png" ><a class="Left_links" >';

}

 

Hopefully someone of you have any good ideas for me :D

 

Thanks in advance

1st remove line breaks to prevent parse errors

Yes, i tried some more and got rid of the error. Yes i have closed them but longer down in the script. Yes i now html, at least some. (I am not an expert.)

 

When i now tries the page i get no error, but the formatting doesn't show, I have an white box with links (I don't see the links before i hold the mouse pointer over them)
