Thank you for your response. The width is set to 100%. Something is causing the width to stay locked. It has to be in another file, I just do not know which one. ]]> Tue, 14 Jul 2009 01:46:33 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/category-menu-width_topic2458_post10637.html#10637 <![CDATA[Category Menu width : If you are working with the stock...]]> https://forum.productcart.com/category-menu-width_topic2458_post10635.html#10635 Author: Greg Dinger

If you are working with the stock header/footer(/pc/header.asp and /pc/footer.asp), have a look at pcHeaderFooter08.css.  For custom designs we scrap that altogether and build the layout from scratch.  Be sure to look at pcStoreFront.css as well.

The name is not pcGenNavigation.asp.  GenNavigation.asp is in your pcadmin folder.
 
 
This statement appears in GenCatNavigation.asp and controls the number of characters that appear for a category name before it is truncated.
 maxProNameL = 22
 
Settings for the width of the menu are dictated by CSS.  If you are working with the stock header/footer, have a look at pcHeaderFooter08.css.

Thanks for the help.  I'm using FF, and have the developer add-on.  Still trying to learn it, but I actually found the rulers in it and they came to the 175px.  I will upgrade the site to 1028 width and plan on using 200px for the left side nav.  Also thanks for the tip on the genCatNavigation.asp.  It is really nice that you all help on this .  I know you are a staff guru now, but you have also helped before.  I've subscribed to most of the forum categories here and read all the messages.   This is also how I learn a lot about PC. That and the wiki.  I will never know enough ASP to do any programming, so I will keep on asking things like that and anoy you guys.  On the upside, I bet there are other users who learn just like me.

Hi Katharina,
   Yes, no idea why it's behaving differently on different pages. Anyway, it looks better in Firefox (no surprise there then :-) ) I used the web developer add-on and it's ruler function and a width of 175px looks ok - with the current font & 22chars + ...

I really recommend the combination of Firefox and the web developer add-on, although checking your site still looks fine in IE is very important as well.

Now that is confusing.  Why does it in some cases truncate and wrap nicely, and others not?  Shouldn't it be consistent throughout?  What would be the right pixel width for the <!--#include file="inc_catsmenu.asp"--> found in the header.asp file?  This would help when creating the header template.
