Similar items?

[watchdr]

How do I get rid of the similar items block on the product listing page? This really isn't of any value since it just lists categories and makes the page extremely long.

Thanks,

You'll want to comment the code out

<!-- Everything between these tags doesn't get rendered by the web browser -->

Because you might change your mind and it will be easier to just comment it back in than copying it into a separate file that you'll have to keep track of just-in-case, or worse yet, doing it all by hand!

This is the code that will need to be commented out:

 <!--START: related_0-->
   <table width="100%"  cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
		<td class="checkout-headers">[product_Header-relateditems]</td>
    </tr>
	<tr><td><table width="100%"  cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" class="alternative">
	
	<!--START: related_items0-->
              <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%">
                <tr>
                  <td colspan="2" align="center" valign="middle"><a href="product.asp?itemid=[catalogid]"><img src="[THUMBNAIL]" alt="" border="0"></a></td>
                </tr>

                <tr valign="middle">
                  <td colspan="2" class="item" align="center">[name]</td>
                </tr>

                <tr>
                  <td class="price" align="center" valign="middle" colspan="2">
