Displaying Selected Categories

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'm having trouble figuring out how to create a page that will display the "short description" from selected categories of my choosing. Is this possible and if so, how is it done. When I have my page directed to "viewcategories.asp" all that appears is the "Browse by Category" heading and a drop down menu. What I'd like is to have is essentially a home page displaying various category headings and their short descriptions for any category I choose. I have many different sub categories but I'd only like to display two (2). I have created custom html with a category description and an image beside it and would like to display one category above the other.
Thanks in advance.

	Ok, so I realized I had the Category Display Options set to "In a drop-down". So I changed that to be "With category Names..." and set the categories per row to (1) and rows per page to (2). The challange now is how to specify the two categories out of the many the cart should display. Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks again in advance for your help.
