Newbie Question : Removing Drop Down Section List

[ania]

Hi,

This may be a silly question , but I am new at this.

I don't know what I clisked, but suddenly out of nowhere my Catalog has a drop down list with links to the various Sections in my catalog.

This is in the header on the right hand side.

I can't find the option to get rid of this anywhere.

Can anyone help please???

Cheers, ANIA

What theme are you using for your site?

[ania]

I am using the theme called "Curves"

[I-CC]

The drop down is the default for this theme, so will have been there from the start of using this theme...

Go into Advanced | Template Manager | Main tab and then Primary button, which will launch a text document.

In this document, click Edit | Find and enter the search text of:

<form name="Act_SectionDroplist">

This should bring up the following right on that search term:

<form name="Act_SectionDroplist">
<td background="bg_top.gif" height="60" width="50%" valign="middle" align="center">
<script language=Javascript1.1>
<!--
document.write(ACT_DropListBox(sections))
// -->
</script>
</td>
</form>

Replace all that code above with the following, so that no form tags or document.write tags exist.

<td background="bg_top.gif" height="60" width="50%" valign="middle" align="center">
<!-- This is where the drop down once lived -->
<!-- This is where the drop down once lived -->
<!-- This is where the drop down once lived -->
</td>

That will have the effect of deleting the drop down from being used, if not still created further up in the template (but not seen), whilst leaving a marker for you to put it back in later on, should you decide it was good after all..

You could also put <!-- before the <form> tag and //--> after the </form> tag : this will force browsers to ignore everything between (ie the drop down list - rather than deleting them out all together) and should you require at a later date simply remove the <!-- and //-->
