Creating Table for Catalog Center Section

[€urorunner]

I have gotten a little bit further here but this learning curves near vertical..

Taking this in stages..and my next little task is the following:


I need to contain the middle section of the catalog within a table
- so that i can then insert a custom background image - in line with
the layout of the rest of the site.

Just to make myself clear, thats everything that normally falls into the center
ie. product details when one selects a product, account signup form,
cart contents, etc., etc, etc.


TAKING THE ABOVE INTO ACCOUNT,

my question is this:

Q1. Has anybody else done this?
Q2. If you have done so, how have you achieved it?



Your valued suggestions are appreciated as always

Actually, you do this through the stylesheet.css. The center section is already enclosed in a table. All you have to do is edit or create a style with the background set to your image, and attach it to the table that is already there in default.php or whatever page you want the style to display on.

Nice one msasek. I will try this. Appreciate you taking the time out to post - will post back the result here either way.

Well, i got it sorted. Although i edited the stylesheet, i still didnt manage to get it to display the background image...must have fudged the code somewhere. However, I cranked up Dreamweaver and applied the background image via the dreamweaver interface in live data view.


Just another little step further

Thanks for your help

The great thing about osCommerce is that there is ALWAYS more than one way to get the job done! Use all your resources, you will come up with a creative and effective solution.

If you are more comfortable working in a visual environment, I suggest getting a visual stylesheet editor like Topstyle pro. It makes getting the look you want almost easy (almost! The other truth about osCommerce is that NOTHING is easy )
