I've looked and I've looked, and I haven't found the answer to this one. I suspect it will be one of those "well duh" things once someone tells me, but we'll see.

I am designing a site here on

for my client, who went ahead and signed up with Verisign's PayFlow Pro. I am looking at the Online Payment Manager, and there are only two gateways showing, authorize.net and PayPal. But I don't see PayFlow Pro, and I don't see the option to "turn it on".

Am I missing something, or do I have to call to have that turned on?

Hello!

Acutally, this isn't a "duh" situation at all... We have to set that up for you (until v4.0 that is!). I have taken the liberty of putting it on your site www.sowhimsy.com already, so no need for you to call now. Give us a call at 800-353-6582 if you have any further questions!

Coolness!

I really appreciate the help. This is my first time using

, but it won't be the last if I can talk my new clients into it.

Thanks!

Tim,

I like your site. I have been trying to so something similar to what you have done with the left navigation bar going all the way to the top of the screen. Did you have to get custom programming for this?

Thanks for the info,

dzielski (and ladyg),

Thanks for the compliments!

To answer your question dzielski, no I didn't get custom programming, but that doesn't mean it was easy, either.

As you may have noticed, the

template keeps both the left and right columns under your logo, which is fine for most folks, but it definitely did not fit into my client's plans (or apparently yours).

I basically had to force the left nav-bar into place using absolute positioning in a div tag. Going to Site HTML, Navigation Bar Editor, the code I used looked something like this:

CODE

<div style="position:absolute;margin-left:0px;margin-top:-184px;">

...

(all the appropriate images & code for the left nav-bar went here)

...

</div>

You'll note that the top margin of the div tag was actually at negative 184 pixels, which forced the nav-bar to overcome the table/cell "ceiling" and hit the top edge of the browser window. It's been a while since I developed this part of it, but as I recall (I could be wrong), the top margin's negative number has something to do with the height of your center logo, which means you'd probably have to adjust it up and down to get it just so - all a matter of experimentation.

The SoWhimsy.com site uses a mapped image to get the links, but this little trick will work for more text-based left-navs as well. Needless to say, I really learned to love the div tag on this site!

By all means, take a look at the code and see what I did. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

Tim,

I also enjoy the site. It makes me feel good when I am browsing. Like I belong there, even know I have no interest in the product you have.

Keep up the good work... and thanks for providing us the information above.

Tim,

Thanks for the tip. I wish I knew this 3 months ago when I was desiging my site. Now I may just wait till 4.0 comes out and see if I can move things around without going through all the co-ordinates of the screen.

I looked at the source and it looks very clean. I like what you have done. Thanks again.
