here is my manufacturer and categories.php

You are using list elements in the categories box and simple <a href> links in your Brands. You will have to change the Brands to use the <UL> list elements so the stylesheet will format it for you.

can you give me a hint which part to change , just a starter..

♥mdtaylorlrim · January 7, 2010

Here is your categories links:

$categories_string .= '<li'.$kk.'><a href=';
if ($tree[$counter]['parent'] == 0) {
$cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $counter;
} else {
$cPath_new = 'cPath=' . $tree[$counter]['path'];
}
$categories_string .= tep_href_link('index.php', $cPath_new) . '>';

// display categry name
   $categories_string .= $tree[$counter]['name'];
   $categories_string .= '</a></li>';

here is your manufacturer links:

$manufacturers_list = '';
     while ($manufacturers = tep_db_fetch_array($manufacturers_query)) {
       $manufacturers_name = ((strlen($manufacturers['manufacturers_name']) > MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) ? substr($manufacturers['manufacturers_name'], 0, MAX_DISPLAY_MANUFACTURER_NAME_LEN) . '..' : $manufacturers['manufacturers_name']);
       if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id']) && ($HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] == $manufacturers['manufacturers_id'])) $manufacturers_name = '<b>' . $manufacturers_name .'</b>';
       $manufacturers_list .= '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'manufacturers_id=' . $manufacturers['manufacturers_id']) . '">' . $manufacturers_name . '</a><br>';
     }

In categories the links are surrounded with <li>...</li>

You need to make the manufacturer links start with <li> and end with </li> but you will also have to put the <ul></ul> around them all with the proper class tags as in your categories (that is the $kk variable.)
