Categories background colour and format
Hi

How can I add Different background color for my directory? I need to have two different background color

to make the categories look nicer. I also want each category to be on top of its Cell so they are all lined up.

Take a look at cgi resources design I need some thing similar.

Thanks for the help

To solve the alignment problem...(as mentioned numerous times in this forum)

1) Delete all the CSS codes in the sub site_html_print_cat routine.

2) Delete all definition list codes (<dt><dl></dt></dl>) in that same sub.

3) Add valign="top" to the <td width="50%"> codes in the same sub.

Now...for the different background colors...search this forum for category bgcolor widgetz. Widgetz provided some codes that allows you to have different background colors for categories.

Regards,

*SIGH*

The only piece of information that I left out was that the sub-routine is in the site_html_templates.pl file. It is NOT a matter of CGI (actually Perl) programming, but editing the HTML codes (you do know HTML, right?) between the $output .= and |; codes.
