Empty lines between 'Price' and the 'Quantity Box'

Hi,
Could someone please point me in the right direction.

How would I go about removing these,
Hope someone can help.
Many thanks

Hello Floaty,

Have a look at the Act_productLine.html template.

Please advise further as what to do, i'm only a beginner so please be gently with me!
Thanking you

All the code is in the Act_ProductLine template, but it may change somehow with the theme you selected and if you made some personnal changes.

For example the content of my template is as follow :


************************

<!-- ProductLine HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the top of the individual product -->
NETQUOTEVAR:INCLUDE Act_ProductSeparator.html
NETQUOTEVAR:ENDSEPARATOR
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMBEGIN
<tr>
<td rowspan="2" width="220" valign="TOP" align="CENTER"> NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEBEGINXML NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTIMAGE </td>
<td valign="TOP" width="420" align="LEFT" colspan="2">
<a name="NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTANCHOR"><span class="actregular"><b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTNAME</b>&nbsp;</span></a>
<span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTREF <br>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTDESCRIPTION&nbsp; NETQUOTEVAR:EXTINFOLINK</span>NETQUOTEVAR:EXTINFOBUTTON<br>
<span class="actxsmall"><strong>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBEGINLINKNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTLINKTEXTNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTENDLINK
<!-- NETQUOTEVAR:PRICEEXPLANATION --> </strong></span><br>
<b>NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE</b>
<!-- <span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVARISCOUNTINFO </span>
<span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:OTHERINFOPROMPT </span>
<span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVARATEPROMPT </span> -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="LEFT" colspan="2" bgcolor="#eeeeee"><span class="actxsmall">
NETQUOTEVAR:CARTERRORXMLNETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTQUANTITY<br>
<Actinic:ACTIONS>NETQUOTEVAR:ADDTOCARTBUTTON</Actinic:ACTIONS>
</span>
NETQUOTEVAR:TEMPLATEENDXML
</td>
</tr>
NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTFORMEND
NETQUOTEVAR:NEXT
<!-- Insert HTML for the bottom of the individual product -->
<!-- ProductLine HTML end -->

************************

The code for the price is NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTPRICE
The code for the quantity box is NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTQUANTITY

Between these two codes you can see on my template other codes begining with NETQUOTEVAR (NETQUOTEVARISCOUNTINFO , NETQUOTEVAR:OTHERINFOPROMPT , NETQUOTEVARATEPROMPT ). These other NETQUOTEVAR are used to insert optional datas or new fields into the product pages (you'll have to look at the actinic guides to really know what they do).
When Actinic creates a product page it looks at this template and make some space for these NETQUOTEVAR, so that, should you provide the corresponding datas when you create your products, these datas would be shown on your product page. If you don't provide the data you'll see empty spaces on your page.

So the solution is to get rid of the NETQUOTEVAR you do not want.
Beware ! you must not remove unwanted NETQUOTEVAR from your templates but you can have Actinic ignore them by putting them between <!-- and -->.
In my template I put :
<!-- <span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVARISCOUNTINFO </span>
<span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVAR:OTHERINFOPROMPT </span>
<span class="actxsmall">NETQUOTEVARATEPROMPT </span> -->
so these three NETQUOTEVAR are not seen by Actinic.

Now you must study your own template and make some trials, BUT !! never forget before editing a template to make a copy of the original (in case you make a mistake)

Hi there

Also to add a bit more into this discussion, i would suggest having a read through the design guide. This can be found in "C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Starter Guide\DesignGuide.pdf". This explain how Actinic templates works and is very useful.

Kind Regards

[Floaty]

Thanks Nadeem for all the info, will be doing some reading!

Thanks Jacques for your reply, I might just leave it all alone in case I go wrong, don't think I'm up to all that yet but thanks again.
