How do I make my left Nav. bar look like this:

BATS
Adult Bats
Senior Bats
Youth Bats

GLOVES
Adult Gloves
Youth Gloves

EQUIPMENT BAGS
Team Bags
Individual Bags

You know, like, when they click in on the "Bats" part and then pops down "Adult Bats, Senior Bats & Youth Bats"

Is that possible?

Do you have a site with what you are looking for....Are you looking for like a directory tree or drop down box.

If you can explain further I may be able to help.......

The fastest way to achieve your category structure is to create a custom html table. Make a cell for each section and link them up accordingly. Then upload your html to the Left Navigation bar editor and be sure to change the drop down bar to load custom. If you want both your custom html and the default navigation change the drop down bar to say Custom and Default load Custom first.

So is this something i would have to make in Golive or Dreamweaver?

I want it to be like this

Bats
Goves
Equipment Bags
Hats
Batting Gloves
Protective Equipment


.... But then when you click on something, lets say "Bats" then it looks like this


Bats
Adult Bats
Senior Bats
Youth Bats
Wood Bats
Softball Bats
Gloves
Equipment Bags
Hats
Batting Gloves
Protective Equipment



Does that make sense? Thanks for your help.

Ah, well you can't do that type of navigation in the mc shopping cart unfortunately. Think of your site in quadrants, this applies to the default layout of the mc cart.

Top(header)
Left Column
Center Area
Right Column
Bottom (footer)

The areas that will always be static, meaning not changing will be your top, left, right and bottom areas. Which is why your navigation won't work. The only way to get around that break down is to crate a custom cascading javascript navigation that cascades your subcategories out to the right of your main category, like this:

If you are interested in something like that, contact Kyle Prachyl at monstersmile.gif Commerce, he is the Design Department Project Manager. kprachyl@monstercommerce.com
