   "Adjusting position of sub-categories text"

Perhaps it's dumb on my end, but I cannot seem to find where or how to do this.
I see the options with pictures and drop-down-list in the viewcategories.asp, but not for the text version only.
I have sub categories displayed as text only, (with standard settings: 4 columns + 3 rows)...
If you look at the 1st screenshot, I hate that the 1st sub-category does not line up with the rest of the text (see green line) and that the 2nd sub-category is so far to the right.
What I try to accomplish is as in screenshot 2.

An ideal situation would be like in screenshot 2, but have the sub-categories directly behind each other, separated by a comma and a space (when there's more then 1 sub)
Example: sub1, sub2, sub3, etc...  or just: sub1
But this is not important as it is to accomplish screenshot 2.

Anyone any ideas where or how to do this?
Thanks in advance

	Hi, I suspect what's happening here is that the viewCategories code is building a table - with a max of 4*3 - But with only the two entries you get a table that covers the full width but only ends up with two columns, hence why "Runners" is so far over. You have a couple of choices :- - Do nothing if you will have more than 4 subcategories as it will then sort itself out. - Modify the code to use a specific width or be styled via CSS. As for the mis-alignment in relation to the green line - check the source code & also try Firefox with the web developer add-on to fine tune the CSS & to examine the table structure.

	Thanks Hamish, Did not think of using CSS to set the width.. Worked like a charm.. I added a space before the 1st category in the code to nicely line things up with that green line. Once more: Thanks so much!
