Do you understand html and the list layouts used in actinic? If not, it could be a bit of a struggle. When you say products 3 wide, is this subsections 3 wide or actual products and then extended info pages for each?

Lee i mean the products to be laid out in 3 columns and when you click on a products it takes you to the extended info page.

Well if the answer is yes to my first question, you will need to adjust the product list layout. You need the top row to colspan the number of rows you specify for the products to display (don't hard code the value, use the actinic product column count variable) as the design will be dynamic then if you ever change or need different pages doing different things. This will present you with a full width first row and then your product column count for all subsequent rows.

Thanks Lee i am not to sure which layout to change to achieve this do i just change the first row column count to 1 thanks for you help

Actually yes, that will be easier for you as the product list layout does not have 2 variables controlling the columns. Change first row no. of items to 1, insert your <tr>, </tr>, <td> and your </td> as they are in the middle row, but you will also need to add in a colspan on the opening <td>, like so <td colspan="xxxxxxx"> and put the product row count variable in there (to replace the x's). This way whatever you set as the product column count, the top row will always span it for you.
