Best Seller List - Reformatting Query Convert to DIV?

[mediamole]

Hi

I'm wanting to change the formatting of the Best Sellers Side Bar layout that appears on my home page. I have inserted BestSellerListSidebar on the Home Page and have then navigated to the design to format it.

Then within List Layout Settings -> Overall Design I have removed the TABLE tags and inserted my desired DIV and H4 tags so my CSS will format it as required. However, Actinic still adds the TR and TD tags for each links as specified within the EDIT ROWS and COLS section. Is there away I can disable this? Or is there a better way to achieve what I'm trying to do?

You can see how the CSS is styling the best sellers list on the home page by going to my test area of http://www.testmole.co.uk

I'd welcome your suggestions

You can also delete out the TD and TR tags for the middle rows

Re.

How do I do that? just remove the TR and TD tags?

[jont]

Yes - click on the "..." sign against each column cell and simply delete out the code

Hi,

Just realised it's rather simple to do - On first view I thought the TR and TD tags were hard coded into Actinic - on another viewing I realised there are not. Man it's been a long day

Thats what v8 does to you

Re.

However, in List Layout Settings -> Edit Rows and Cols I'm allowed to delete the First Item TR and TD tags - but the Middle and Last Item have TR and TD tags that are disabled from being edited. These shouldn't pop-up and cause probs when the list grows will they?

[jont]

You should be able to delete them all - try working from the far right back to the left - just tried this in v8.5 and was fine

Re.

Maybe thats why - I used 8.4 will update to 8.5

[jont]

Shouldn't need to - I recall also deleting them all out in v8.0.4

Re.

As you can see from the attached screen shot some are TR and TD are disabled so I cant remove them. Or does this mean they wont get used?

Oh right - you have set the row count to 1 .. you have deleted the start and end tags so thats all you need to do as there is only the one row. The others are removed if you are using one of the dynamic settings in the first cell. You should be good to go.

At moment there's only one product, but there will be more qhwn site goes live. I didnt put the row count to 1 - it just set that way when I deleted the other tags. Basically, I dont want to use a TABLE at all - having set the initial layout to use DIV

Are you saying I should be TABLE free now?

[jont]

That should do the trick for table free code (although you can never be 100% knowing Actinic's love of nested tables) ... preview the code in an external browser and look at the source for complete satisfaction
