How do I create a vertical single coumn of my top level category list for putting on my home page (the categories need to have a hyperlink to their respective pages on my Links SQL site) - and here's the bit I can't work out - how do you reduce the vertical space between each category. I want this

Category 1
Category 2
Category 3
etc...

NOT

Category 1

Category 2

Category 3

etc...

I have checked all over the forum and even though the question has been asked - the answers are either out of date due to coding changes as far as I can see - or they are not at all as clear as they should have been to a layman like me ;-)

Thanks everyone for reading

Steve

Can you explain how you're currently getting the list so we can see what the problem might be?

Thanks! I did it via Lins SQL Admin > Set-Up > Build Options and selected Number of columns your subcategory list will be divided into. build_category_columns I changed it from 2 to 1.

You can see it on my development page

(Though it may be changed or fixed when you have a look as I am working on options atm)

That's all I did. I think either my ccs stylesheet may be the problem or the LINKs one - do you know the path to this so I can check it out?

Thanks
Steve

Hi,

Try putting <dl> .. </dl> around the subcategory tag and then just have <dt>...</dt> around the categories.

The css is probably set in your globals.

hi Laura

That did it! Thanks.

BTW - I greatly admire your site. If my new site can be half as good as yours - then I will ecstatic ;-)

The concept of it is similar in that it's going to be a venue for consumers (from around the world) interested in buying 3G phone services plus all the other interactive/information sharing features typical of your site. It harnesses everything I've been doing for 4 years with a 3G industry focused site of mine - www.the3gportal.com

May I ask you via email (off the forum) some questions later about how you did certain things?

Thanks again
Steve
