section list amendment

[mrs incredible]

Hi
i am trying to add a simple white line in between the section lists on the left hand side of my site.
I have looked in my overall template, but dont see the code. What i do see is:
tr>
<tr>
<td><font size="1" class="nav">NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP</font></td>
</tr>

Is this contolling the appearance of this part of the table?
If so how do i access it to change it?

Grateful for any help!

What is the file called ...

What is the name of 'Section' file called ?

Click On

Layout > Section Link Layout > Edit

What I have found useful is to save this file as Act_SectionName_MySection.html, then you can play around with it in DW or some other editor to hearts content.

(Note if you open using EDIT in Actinic make sure you save as a HTML file first, remember Notepad defaults to a tXt file)

Then if you get the look you want, use it?

I have to admit my Sections do not call the NQV you mention so if I am in the wrong place I do apologise.

Thanks Simon.
I have taken a decision to have a play and eliminate the NQV and try to code the section links into my Templates.

I'm very new to HTML, but i love it and have invested in some books and DW.
I just need to figure the mouse over thingy and I might even try and make the section list appear as buttons.... just need time to figure it out and get it wrong a few times first!

The most effiecient way to do this is using CSS by setting a new background-color statement for the a:hover

To make it look like buttons you can then use the border function and set say the left and bottom borders slightly thicker to give a faux 3d effect.

CSS is much quicker than using actual GIF buttons and you can changethe sitewide colours by changing a few lines in the stylesheet
