navigation button cell padding

[Deborah]

Hi,
I am designing a new site for a client and have created my own navigation buttons. When I choose them in the design options, navigation window and then view them in the site there is some sort of cell padding around the graphics. I want the new buttons to butt right up against each other and also to be right at the base of the cell with no space around them. Is there somewhere where I can get rid of this padding, I can't find it anywhere! I have already selected 'compact html/CGI in the design/miscellaneous with no difference.

I read on one of your threads that i might have to create my own custom navigation template, is this the only way to do it?
Many thanks Deborah

Go into Act_NavigationItem.html and Act_NavigationImage.html and remove all comments, line breaks and spaces - i.e. remove everything other than the core HTML code. That should do it.

Hi Chris,
Brilliant, it was just the line spaces around the coding, I didn't think it would make a difference, that's great now.

One other thing, I would like to include 2 extra buttons, one that links to an external html page and the other to the product index page (I'm creating an external homepage, default.html). How do I put these 2 extra buttons plus rollovers within the navigation bar that I'm using with the existing 7 buttons. Do I need to create a custom nav bar and if so is it easy enough to do? So I'll end up with the existing buttons; Homepage, sitemap, search, view cart, checkout, email, login and the 2 extra ones; shoescience, products.
Many thanks Deborah

If you look at 'DesignGuide.pdf' within the 'Actinic v7\Starter Guide' folder on your PC and look at page 33 you will see a section entitled 'Inserting Custom Navigation Icons'.

Use this code to insert your new buttons. The code needs to go to the right of NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE in Act_Primary.html.
