Remove parent category thumbnail image

   Here is a trick that may work for you.  Product cart wants an image for the category.  Either you put yours in or it will put the default one there.  How about creating one that has the background of your page in a 1x1 pixel image.   Call it tiny.jpg.  Next put that into the field for the category image and that should work.  It will display the tiny jpg image, which is not visible due to the background being the same color.  All the user sees is the text.  Not sure how much spacing that will generate above the category name, but it is worse a try.

	This would work well. However it has the disadvantage of hiding your main category image one the top top shopping page; eg when you click on Browse by Category. I checked the CSS and there is no selector defined for that thumbnail so it cannot be hidden without customizing the page output to contain a selector. anyone know off hand what page to edit to add the selector to? Thanks

	I've figured it out; I edited viewcategories.asp and pcstorefront.css to hide the category image.. Example: http://www.certificatespecialists.com/ProductCart/pc/viewCat egories.asp?idCategory=6
