This is driving me insane.

I cant seem to make my product pages valign to the top.

e.g http://trials.actinic.com/trials/trial1192/Palm_Tungsten.html

At first i thought it was the breadcrumming so i cut that content out of:

Act_ParentSections Link
Act_ParentSectionsThis
Act_ParentSectionsSeperator

Should i have deleted these files completely or is it something else?

Ive also looked at Act_ProductLine but im no further forward, am i looking in completely the wrong place?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Steve

what do you want aligned to the top? or is there a gap you want to get rid of?

Thanks for getting back to me,

Its the gap between the bottom of my horizontal nav and the top of the table which contains the product info (i left the border on 1 so i could see what i was doing)

I guess im just trying to find out how to have greater control over the layout of the product pages

Its been a bit confusing, coz instead of having a
<head> and a <body>
the html for product pages start with a series of NETQUOTEVAR's then goes straight into a <td>

Its easy enough to put the product info into a table like i have on my page, but how do you then control where the table appears on the page?

I've simply been using topmargin etc on previous pages but im a bit stuck here

Hope all that makes sense???

From what I can see, you need to take a look at your Overll Layout template. You can access these in 'Design Options | Layouts'. The default name for this is Act_Primary.html.

NETQUOTEAVR:BULK is the variable in this that inserts the products into the page. Check whether there is anything above this that looks like it is inserting extra code. Also, products are inserted via Act_ProductBody.html. Check whether there is any code above NETQUOTEVAR:PRODUCTBULK that looks suspicious.

there is an extra <br> in the code. I didn't have time to establish which template though.

I took a copy of your generated code and run it through DW.

removing the <BR> moved every thing up.

Sorry to rush out on you....I'm off surfing today......

Hi,

That <BR> tag is in Act_ProductBody.html
