OK, I have searched for 3 hours looking for a topic simillar to this. I have seen numerous explainations on editing certain PL files..

heres what im trying to do...

I am not really pleased with the look of the html that comes out...


What Im looking for is a way to have each category paste into its own cel inside a table. these cells will have background colors, and will be spaced out by 2..

I still want the 2 columns, but each cel would be nicer i think...

any help would be appreciated...

You define your categories by editing the site_html_print_cat subroutine in your site_html_templates.pl (if you are using templates). You can edit your category layout by altering the codes inside
the |.....| => The rest is just HTML and completely up to you.

Yes, ive played with those, and I see it on my html source when i build the page...

But it is still just the plain old thing... Is it something with the <dt> and <dd> statements???

You can delete them and add other tags instead...

hmm, it seems no matter what i do , it all comes out the same....

I have BGCOLOR listed so much, and no results...

the BGCOLOR tag is in the source of the html output.... but still no color, this is very confusing...

see ?????

Are you referring to table background or the background color of your entire category pages?

on tables, each cel can be a different background color. I wanted my pages white, but with the tan colored cells one cel for each category...then the cellspacing would be 2 so there is definition between each cell...

Unfortunately I am unable to do this... I am now trying to find the location of how our site name appears on the page, since it is a black background with white text default once i do that, i can solve atleast one of the issues, but still wondering how to get each category into a single cell of the table.
