You not linked any links or anything Sam so it will be hard for most people to be able to work out and help you.

Lucky I know what it will be without looking, A guess but an educated one.

Your paths for files etc wont be in the best way for them to work in BC so when in sub folders they are lost. Every file etc needs to start with a slash so sources of css, js, files etc need to be like this...

src="/folder/file.css" etc.

Hi Liam,

Thank you very much   yes that what i thought too, sorry i can't leave a link out in the forum coz the client wants to keep the project confidential at this stage, but i can PM you a link...

So you mean i have to edit the links in edge animate too? at first i couldn't get the shop template's css to load in subcategories, so i changed the links like that (/filename.css) and it worked but the edge animation wouldn't load when changing the paths for the files referred in the edge code that you put inside the head tag. So i'm guessing there must be some other paths that can't find its way around... and i found the below link last night, maybe this will work but I'm not sure how to put the javascripts and how to add the variable declaration to the root of my website like how they have mention in the below article, I'm more of a designer then a programer, but I'm learning on it, it would be great if you could tell me exactly whats that code and how to do it properly.

Yes! I got it done without putting any extra javascript in to the file.

Like you have said every path has to be corrected with a / at the beginning of the path.

including:

    var im = '/images/'; on your animation_edge.js and all the files that has a path and also in the animation itself i had to put the links to other pages like this "window.open("../../about.html", "_parent");"

so thats what it takes to get it working.

Thank you so much for your help, really appreciate it

I got one more thing to accomplish with the shop, making it responsive, if you could provide with any help or provide some guidance to the proper way of doing it would be great, please have a look at my other post regarding this.

Cheers,

Sam
