How to Get Page Contents to Top of Page

Postby Larry Bohen » Fri Sep 14, 2001 7:34 am

I've just put a new page on our ShopSite Pro SC 5.1 Web store
(www.audiobooksonline.com/shopsite/Audio ... _Fund.html)
..

The problem of getting the page contents to go to the top of the page is
one we've had with other pages. It seems that ShopSite's default is to
center the page's content vertically. Pages with little content (like
the one above) end up having a lot of white space at the top. I would
like to know how to eliminate this white space at the top.

Thanks in advance.

My wife just had a brainstorm. She suggested that I put something below
my page contents to fill in the page. I put a table with several rows
and it moved the page contents up.

I'd still like to know if there is a setting in ShopSite Pro SC 5.1 that
I can select. I.E. "Align page contents to top"

Larry,
We have the same problem with products on our pages. I noticed that our
problem related to the length of the page. We use "text 3 on the left side"
as a page template. If there are not enough products to equal the length of
our text 3 stuff, the products center. One of the things we did was create
"blank products". These products have no title, description and the price
field is left blank. When we need something to "push" the products up on the
page, we assign some blank products to the page and arrange them to follow
the real products. I wish I knew what caused this problem but this is how we
deal with it. Nice site by the way. The United Way donation is a very good
idea. I was wondering how you displayed "list " in front of the List
prices. Is it a custom template? I need to add this something similar.

Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion on inserting blank products. The ideal
solution would be for ShopSite to let users control the vertical
alignment. Perhaps in a future upgrade.

We discount most retail prices, but I like to show the "List" with a
strikethrough. The "List" before my retail prices (with a strikethrough)
is accommplished by starting out my "More Information Text" with
List <STRIKE>$15.99</STRIKE>. Just delete the <STRIKE></STRIKE>
tags if you don't want the strikethrough.

Thanks for the kind words about our Web store.
