    graphic section list with text

    Hi people,
    I'm trying to work out a way where I have a list of subsections represented by graphics in a col on the left with a block of descriptive text which is longish on the rhs.

    There are 10 graphics for the subsections and if I put the text as an unbuyable product above it I loose the graphics, below it I loose the text off the visable screen!

    Is there a way I can break out of the way the table is created and do something like a rowspan by modding the templates?

    The only way so far I can see of doing this is to break up the text into the subsection description field, but that is kinda messy!

    I don't really understand what you are trying to do, but here is a quick guide to sections:

    Section links are laid out by the 'Section Link Layout' template. This is set by default in 'Design | Options | Layouts', but you can override it for specific sections in the 'Layout' tab of a section.

    If you choose to lay your sections out in columns in 'Design | Options | Sections', the table code that builds the rows and columns for this layout comes from lines 9-12 in 'Design | Text | Website | HTML'.

    You can also choose to have a top-level section list on every section page. This is activated in 'Design | Options | Sections' and the template for the top-level section links is selected in 'Design | Options | Layouts'.

    The Advanced User Guide contains code to copy and paste for more advanced section lists generated by JavaScript.

      Hi Chris,
      I solved it a different way - just told the customer the section graphics which were text gifs had to be shorter!

      What I was trying to do was break up a few vertical cells in the table using a rowspan type command - which if I'd thought it through properly wasn't ever going to work!
