Title name repeated
My third attempt to get a post up. I have finally come back to SCD & SCC pro after initial dissapointment when I first purchased them. I designed my own shop from scratch, spent weeks at it & then realised I have not got shipping options. I was going to use Vibracart as my shopping cart Paypal replacement. It actually is very nice & had the look I wanted, but it had no shipping options. Then all of a sudden when I added scripts into the code that Vibracart needed & then added a Paypal cart button I started to notice the the code was being changed. Any link that had a capital in its name was changed to lower case. Well didn't that just screw my shop up something cronic. I was shattered & without any real knowledge of HTML, I had to abandon my custom made shop. All I wanted was a horizontal menu - with a shop homepage with featured products, A contact page both of which are in SCC but I wanted 3 more pages for my categories without going to dropdown subcategories. I could have achieved this with additional pages but SCC won't allow product to display on extra pages, only in categories/subcategories & homepage. Oh well, maybe one day an option will happen that allow products to be placed on any page, except the cart page of course. Well now that I am back & created a basic design, that still needs a little tweaking I need help to achieve this. I have links to 2 screenshots to show what I mean. Software page shows the title twice. Once at the top & then it repeats it again lower down. I se no point in this & would like to remove the second title. I have seen it done on other users sites, just like to know how to do it. The same goes for my sub category of 'new'. The title already says that.

I don't even know if I got adding a link properly, I gather I had to put the full URL address in between the URL tag things. Hope so, otherwise you won't know what I'm on about. I tried in 2 earlier posts just to attach them but my posts failed. Coffee cup suggested to put them on my site & add a link to them. I am not a coder, the only time I need to add code was when cutting & pasting a Paypal button into my shop using the HTML mode of my editor. Very novice. WYSIWYG is for me. But it seems that if I want my SCC shop to be a little more fancied up I need to know how to deal with code. I have been gathering small snippets of code & saving them but I need to learn how to string them together. I have worked out what code I need to link to a URL. But I have not worked out how to make this link open in a pop up window. It just opens up a new tab at the moment. I also would like to add graphics with a link attached to open a pop up, but have not found anyone that is doing that with the code available. Any one able to give me a snippet for me to modify for my needs. there are many other questions I have but will save them for later, I am still looking through other questions already posted to see if I can find answers.
Thanks . Now to press Post Masseage & hope it works.

OMG the link works. I gotta let you know that if you actually visit my shop by removing the trailing directory, you may be shocked. This is what I have had for the last 12 months, pitiful isn't it. That back then that was all I could do. Why do you think I wanted to get something better looking. Once I know how to create creative links with graphics I can spruce my SCC shopping cart even better. I know I need work on the menu colour. But that's as far as my artistic flair allows me. My wife reckons my colour sense is crap. Oh well, I like it.

Me again. I have discovered how someone has dealt with the Page Tiltle Properties. In SCD Pro, they Changed the properties of the title section. Changed the font size to the smallest possible, changed it colour to blend with the background colour, set all the padding & margins to zero. This makes the title bar still appear but a lot thinner, unless of course you set the background the same as the rest of the page below. This is a good work around & I think I will go with that, unless someone know how to get rid of the secondary title. I think I like the top position of the title better but you deal with what you got. Thanks.
FAIL, that did not work. Well it did but then when I clicked to go to detailed product description, there is no title. Obviously a global setting. Back to the drawing board.
For some reason I cannot attach a file, so I have to place it on my website with a link.
I am making great progress with my site & have come up against a problem I can't figure out.
I have succeeded so far by creating what I want in my webeditor & then switchinging to code mode I cut the code out & paste it into my SCC pages. But now I am using a table I have come up with a problem that has me stumped. The link is a screenshot of my homepage & the code for it is below.
The text is supposed to be next to the logo. I went back to SCD & opened up all the margins, padding etc to make as much room as possible to fit my table. The table is 20 pixels less than the available spce width wise so I presume the problem is not that. Can someone lead in in the right direction please. I am so close to finishing the actual design & page content. 60% of my products are done. I am not going to be worried about the title repeating now. It looks like it is inherent into the program, so I'll live with it.
