| I am looking to REMOVE the drill down navigation (plus signs) but can't find where that option is. I like the other style (older versions) where there was .js code that dropped down the subcategories and those styles were embedded in the inc_catsmenu.asp file. I love the new CSS abilities but it's harder to edit when you can't find them. Thanks! |

Hi, You can use any menu you like with a ProductCart store, with the proviso that you then have to maintain it. Another key point is cross browser compatibility. I tried the oemtractorparts menu and (on my two machines anyway) the subnavigation does not work in Firefox, which is quite an issue as the whole menu is probably rendered inaccessible to anyone using Firefox. ------------- Editing ProductCart Code?

That navigation (OEM) was from Early Impact Product Cart...Interesting that it doesn't work in Firefox...Is there a solution to that? it appears the up/down .js isn't working. It doesn't work in Safari or Netscape either. Is there another navigation option (aside of the drill down) that Product Cart can offer? (built into the Control Panel) |

| So if I reloaded the original install it will work across all browsers?? I customized it (with style sheets) but it was what was in the load. The website you put on the footer...do they work with designers? Or do they prefer to design it all themselves? |

Stock could would be recognized by the presence of the little +- icons used to open/close categories. Clicking on the category itself, as stock code, would result in linking to the category page. In your case, clicking on a category takes over the action normally associated with clicking on the +- icon. So I debate the idea that you only customized the CSS. And if you retain a backup of your navigation file, and generate a stock version, I suspect you will see these differences. In the stores we build, we have used both the stock generated navigation as well as custom navigcation - it's all dependent upon budget and what the needs of the design are. When using the stock menu, sometimes we replace the +- icons with our own, sometimes we force subcategories to remain open. ------------- GreyBeard Design Group Certified ProductCart Developer Web Design/Development/Hosting http://tinyurl.com/5c8t4t" rel="nofollow - Add-Ons & Custom Code | |

Hi Hollehock, which version of ProductCart is the OEM store running? Looking at the page source code I don't recognise the menu as one available with the software.

| OEM was installed with a version 2.11 and is now upgraded to 3.5 - however once it was upgraded, I just uploaded the old .css files. |

Hi, I searched and think I found the post Matt is trying to refer to - anyway, it looks like the solution. The file that generates that menu is no longer part of product cart but can be amended as documented in the post : http://www.earlyimpact.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2322 - http://www.earlyimpact.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2322 If the OEM store was at 2.11 then it must be more than a couple of years old - time flies and all that :-) ------------- Editing ProductCart Code?
