One last qurik and I can figure this out why this is happening.

Desired layout

Group1

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

Group 2

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

What I'm getting is this;

Group 1

Item 1

Item 2

Item 3

etc ...

Group 1 parent category is root

Item 1-3 parent category is Group 1

But I expected things to be left aligned, they seem staggered for some reason.

It's too bad I can't post a couple screen shots of this, so you can see what I mean.

Any ideas why the format is so messed up?

Are you talking about the formatting of the categories and sub categories in the category module? Can you post a screen shot so i can see :)

This is the Category module appearance. I checked the styles and could see anything that would have casued this sort of alignment.

In the STORE ADMIN, MANAGE PRODUCTS, the category list appears like this;

Very strange ...

Interesting thats the first time I've seen that one. When you entered your categories from the manage categories screen did you add html or spaces?

Hi Scott,

It is truely weird ... there was only plain text entered. At the moment this is working in a skin that was generated by Artisteer 2 program.

I'm going to look and see what happens if I drop back in the default DNN skin and see how it appears then.

Maybe it's a skin issue?

Yes its probably something with the skin if it looks fine in one skin but not another. In the categorymenu.ascx you can try wrapping the asp:TreeView in a div with a left align or float left.

OK, confirmed, it's something quirkie with the skin that caused the category items to be skewed weird.

Well, that's a first time I've seen that one my self, especially with an Artisteer 2 generated skin.

Even more weird I couldn't find anything in the styles that would have even caused the behaviour. What is even more weird is that they didn't appear to be all right aligned or even centered in particular. They were just all over the place.

Double weird!

I've got the exact same problem....Artisteer 2, SmithCart Category module, categories alignment is scattered. I disabled the artisteer container in the module settings and everything lined right up. I've tried all possible skin configs in artisteer to no avail. Artisteer works well with all other modules (buy_now , etc...).

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Try opening up CategoryMenu.ascx and wrap the treeview control with <div align="left">

Also make sure that the module isn't "Centered" or something under the page settings.

Also you can try adding a new css tag in the CategoryMenu.css located in your \desktopmodules\categorymenu folder and wrapping the treeview control with the new css tag like this:

div.categroymenu
{
text-align: left;
}

What's most likely happening is the category menu is inheriting a center alignment from your skin
