What theme did you use to build from, or did you start from scratch?

1. Not sure. I don't have any cats w/subs.

2. There was a discussion on this a few months ago:

Tom,

On 2, the shift, I think, is making room for any out of stock message that might need to be displayed. we had our out of stock message moved to above the add to cart button (so that it would be more apparent), and now the "shift" happens with the buttons and not the image.

Greg, what browser are you seeing issue #1 in?

:confused: Well, I guess I'm stuck on this one. I appreciate your efforts.

Here is the homepage and then category page with a small space after "Belts":

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"><?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" /><v:shapetype id=_x0000_t75 stroked="f" filled="f" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn="if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 1 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum 0 0 @1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @2 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @3 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @0 0 1"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @6 1 2"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelWidth"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @8 21600 0"></v:f><v:f eqn="prod @7 21600 pixelHeight"></v:f><v:f eqn="sum @10 21600 0"></v:f></v:formulas><v:path o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f"></v:path><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:lock aspectratio="t" v:ext="edit"></o:lock></v:shapetype>

Can you tell the difference?

Well, since I was just told there was an update of the TekGear theme I decided to change themes completely to Painted Paper. Now that I converted everthing over to the new theme, the problem went away.

Thanks,
Tom

Well I did change to Painted Paper theme. Still, the same trouble. O.K., well I think I zeroed all of the margins and padding in the CSS. Here is what I have. What do you think? The /* TK */ section is my changes to the original Painted Paper theme CSS.

/* Sub Category Menu */
/*#subcategorymenu {margin:20px 0;}
#subcategorymenu .record {width:170px;margin:0 10px 10px 0;text-align:left;}
#subcategorymenu .recordname {font-weight:bold;font-size:110%;text-align:center;}
#subcategorymenu .recordname a {font-size:inherit;text-decoration:none;}
#subcategorymenu ul {padding:5px;margin:5px 10px;border-top:2px solid #ddd;border-bottom:2px solid #ddd;}
#subcategorymenu li {padding: 2px;list-style:none;}
#subcategorymenu li a {text-decoration:none;font-size:90%;}
#subcategorymenu li a:hover {text-decoration:underline;}
*/

/* TK */
#subcategorymenu {margin:0;padding:0;}
#subcategorymenu .record {width:170px;margin:0;}
#subcategorymenu .recordname {font-size:90%;text-align:center;}
#subcategorymenu .recordname a {font-size:90%;text-decoration:none;}
#subcategorymenu ul {padding:0;margin:0;}
#subcategorymenu li {padding:0;list-style:none;}
#subcategorymenu li a {text-decoration:none;font-size:90%;}
#subcategorymenu li a:hover {text-decoration:underline;}


/* Sub Category Menu 2 */
/*
#subcategorymenu2featured {width: 345px; float: left;}
#subcategorymenu2featured .featuredImage {display: block;text-align: center; }
#subcategorymenu2main {width: 345px; float: left;margin: 0 0 0 20px;}
#subcategorymenu2 {margin:20px 0;}
#subcategorymenu2 .record {width:170px;margin:0 10px 10px 0;}
#subcategorymenu2 .recordname {font-weight:bold;font-size:110%;text-align:center;}
#subcategorymenu2 .recordname a {font-size:inherit;text-decoration: none;}
#subcategorymenu2 ul {padding:5px;margin:5px 10px;border-top:2px solid #ddd;border-bottom:2px solid #ddd;}
#subcategorymenu2 li {padding: 2px;list-style:none;display:none;}
#subcategorymenu2 li a {text-decoration:none;font-size:90%;}
#subcategorymenu2 li a:hover {text-decoration:underline;}
*/

/* TK */
#subcategorymenu2featured {width: 345px; float:left;}
#subcategorymenu2featured .featuredImage {display: block;text-align:center; }
#subcategorymenu2main {width:345px; float:left;margin:0;}
#subcategorymenu2 {margin:0;}
#subcategorymenu2 .record {width:170px;margin:0;}
#subcategorymenu2 .recordname {font-size:90%;text-align:center;}
#subcategorymenu2 .recordname a {font-size:90%;text-decoration:none;}
#subcategorymenu2 ul {padding:0px;margin:0;}
#subcategorymenu2 li {padding:0px;list-style:none;}
#subcategorymenu2 li a {text-decoration:none;font-size:90%;}
#subcategorymenu2 li a:hover {text-decoration:underline;}

Cliff, I think I see what you're saying might be going on. Since a category that is being selected has subcategories but are hidden, the code-behind is generating an empty nested UL. Thanks for looking into it.

Hi Guys,

To fix this you will need to edit the view.ascx.vb file located under the "siteRoot\BVModules\ContentBlocks\Category Menu\" folder. Find the "LoadPeersAndChildren()" method, and then look for the following commented sections:

' Load Children

There are two sections of this method that load child categories, so make sure that this code is updated twice. You should replace the entire IF block that starts "If neighbors.Children.Count > 0 Then" with the following code:
[blue][/blue]
This should prevent the category menu from outputting an empty <UL> when the child categories are hidden.

Thanks,
