Currently in the product display, the category display is to the left of the products. Is there a way to put the category listing in a horizontal order on top of the product display? If we have the category display and two or three product columns, it gets squeezed together. If this can't be done, is there an option in the category_menu module to display it in horizontal instead of vertical? This way, we can place the category_menu at the top of the products.

Are you using the category module or the option to display categories within the buynow module?

Our first option would be to use the BuyNow module. In the BuyNow setting, I can change the Product Catalog Columns and show the Categories. This puts the Categories to the left and the number of columns to the right. In our site design, this causes it to be "squeezed" within the page borders. Is there a way in the BuyNow module to move the categories to the top and align it horizontal instead of the vertical?

Second option would be to use the CategoryMenu at the top and have the BuyNow under it. However, there is no option to change the display from vertical to horizontal.

I you open up the productlist.ascx page located in your \desktopmodules\smith.buynow folder on line 25 you will see the following code:

<td valign="top" runat="server" id="tdMenuCategories">&nbsp;<asp:Menu ID="MenuCategories" runat="server" OnMenuItemClick="MenuCategories_MenuItemClick"
BorderColor="GradientActiveCaption" BackColor="White" BorderWidth="1px" Width="107px" Height="151px" BorderStyle="None"></asp:Menu>&nbsp;&nbsp;
</td>

The asp.net control that renders the category menu is an asp:menu and currently its inside a table cell that places it to the left of the products. If you want to move it above the products then create a table row above the products and move the asp:menu control in the new row your create. To make the asp:menu horizontal instead of vertical add the property Orientation="Horizontal" in the asp:menu control.
