HTML control over Page.Main

[aapk]

I can not for the life of me figure out how to put a white layout area (or table) behind the Page.Main area - so that my background image shows up below it. For example of what I am trying to replicate ...

See this page - http://www.dsdhome.org/select_your_space.html
This is how I want the shopping cart page to look - a slight break between the white header (all parts centered on the page) and the left navigation box, heading, image, and product listings all sitting on the white layout over my background, with another break before the footer. I have set the Body Background to white, but the background image (in my CSS) overwrites that.


Vs. what I have achieved on the shopping cart page:https://ssl11.van.ca.securedata.net/...ex.php?cPath=4
(obviously when I get this fixed I will change my titles to Blue).

Any help would be sooo appreciated. Thanks.

Amy,

How "new" is this store you are trying to build? If it's brand new, I would strongly recommend you upgrade to MM5.5. Everything you are wanting to do will be so much easier.

Re: HTML control over Page.Main

are you even using MivaMerchant? If doesn't look/sound like it as it would be very easy just to set the "interior" background space (table in html UI/ div in css UI).

It doesn't look like it.

It looks like she is using a php shopping cart of some kind (merchant manager???).

Ya know, you might be right - I don't recall any references to a Page.Main within Miva Merchant - especially version 4.

There is no Miva Merchant 4.5 and the link you posted is definitely not Miva Merchant.

It looks like Hostway's customized version of OS Commerce called Merchant Manager.

I am using 4.5 (from Net Nation). I don't have an option to change the html for Interior background space. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

Again this isn't Miva Merchant, its Hostway's product (they own Net Nation).

Yes! Switch to Miva Merchant :) :) :)



Sorry, I couldn't resist. I will go send myself into the corner now...

hmm....there is no Miva Merchant 4.5, you should contact NetNation and find out what application is actually running your cart...or switch to MivaMerchant in which case we'd be more than happy to help <g>.
