Hey guys, you've been such a help in the past and I hope you can pull through for me on this one.

I want to make it so that the parent top menu items are "non-clickable" and only the children of those main, parent menu items (subcategories) are clickable.

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say and thanks for any help you can give me. :)

Make the parents stay visible and unanchor them. No <A HREF . . .></A>, no clicking.

The category. files (those will be among .php, .tpl, in category/ subtrees, both /admin and /catalog), look them over and make backups before giving it a whirl).

For header menu item
find here \catalog\view\theme\default\template\common\header.tpl


for category module
\catalog\view\theme\default\template\module\category

and search for href ;) ;)

Again, the category files, wherever catagory. files appear as .php or .tpl in all subtrees (under /store/ and under /store/admin/, so you'll see the overall arrangements). There are actually THREE basic anchor-related things to look for. Straight forward anchors, such as "<A HREF=" and its closing "</A>", and onClicks, such as "onClick=", and the occasional code call for URLs, such as will appear as itself "URL". Those may all be in upper or lower case, there are reasons for using one or the other in various situations, just look for the terms and follow the machine-readable syntax, spelling, punctuation, and typewritten style you use as a model..
