How do you change the image used for the expand and close buttons in the main category menu? I want to also change their format to PNG instead of GIF. Thanks.

You have to examine the script that generates the category navigation. The image names are hard-coded in the genCatNavigation.asp script.

I actually edited the file names in the inc_catsmenu.asp file. I couldn't find the one you mentioned. However, when the menu initially loads it is still looking for the btn_expand.gif file instead of the new btn_expand.png file. But when you start using the menu it uses the new btn_expand.png file.

genCatNavigation.asp writes a new copy of inc_WholeSaleCatMenu.inc and inc_RetailCatMenu.inc every time you call it. Those files contain references to those graphics in the form of:

<tr><td valign="top"><img align="absmiddle" name="IMGCAT5" border="0" src="images/btn_expand.gif" onclick="javascript:UpDown(5);"></td><td width="100%" valign="top" class=""><a href=" -  Accessorieshttp://www.yourstorename.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=5"> Accessories</a >

If you want a solution that will be flexible so that each time you re-generate the navigation, you really do need to study that file and alter it there. Then use it to generate the nav file that correctly references your desired images.

Hello. Thanks for the info, but this is all I see in the inc_RetailCatMenu.inc file:

<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td></td></tr>
</table>

Thanks
