Layout Problem

[AmP]

Hi

Spoken to tech support who can't seem to come with a solution for this simple looking problem

They have however, kindly advised me to come here for some help so here goes....

How do I get the drop down boxes side by side?

http://www1.arthillmob.com/acatalog/Basic_Products.html

I have 50 products per page so it's vital that i use a least space per product! Any suggestions appreciated

You might want to try and remove all of the <P> .... </P> and <BLOCKQUOTE> ......... </BLOCKQUOTE>'s from within the product variant templates. This normally sorts out many of these things, but also look at the Attribute Separator within each to see if it use BR, new line, paragraph etc and change it to user defined etc.....

Hope this helps.

Attribute Seperator?

Thanks for the advice so far! Having an absolute nightmare getting this sorted out. Its the first time I have used this program and really am struggling with this tedius problem!!

In the 'Attribute Seperator' surely if I choose user defined then I must be able to cut and paste a snippet of code in to solve the problem...?

Does anyone know that peace of script it so needs?


Heeeeeeeeelp........!

If you have taken all of the <P>'s and <BLOCKQUOTE>'s out of the attribute templates, then this will normally do the trick.

If you don't remove them, then the problem will stay I am afraid.

As far as the custom bit of code is concerned, you can just pace in a "&nbsp;" without the quotes to place in a physcial space.

Hope this help............

Thanks!

How can I bring up the source code to edit it for that particular page?

The best I've done is to bring up the source for the main pages in 'Layouts' but did'nt know what to look for!

As you can probably tell I am a little 'green' to this program and very confused! Could you give me some kind of step by step instructions so I can cure this once and for all?

Thanks for your patience...

Go to Advanced --> Template Manager --> Product Variants tab...

This will show all of the templates used that builds the inputs, drops down selects etc etc....

Go into each of the templates provided by the buttons and locate the <P> and </P> codes and also <BLOCKQUOTE> and </BLOCKQUOTE> codes and remove those, this will prevent them from being put into there own rows etc....

Hope this helps.....

Another approach is to replace

NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON

with the following HTML

<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>NETQUOTEVAR:VARIANTLABEL1<br>NETQUOTEVAR:VARIANTSELECTOR1</td>
<td>NETQUOTEVAR:VARIANTLABEL2<br>NETQUOTEVAR:VARIANTSELECTOR2</td>
<td><Actinic:ACTIONS>NETQUOTEVAR:VARIANTADDTOCARTBUTTON</Actinic:ACTIONS></td>
</tr>
</table>

This will lay out two drop-down lists side by side, with the add to cart button next to it.
