Help .. how to modify template to allow sidebar
« on: October 01, 2002, 11:55:54 AM »		 Reply with quote
I.e. I don't want frames, tried ti but that means a scrollbar in the middle of the screen thats not going to fly.  I see it everywhere (including right here) but the source on these pages is way to complex for me to figure out ..

All I want to know is what code do i put where in the template to create say a 100pixel wide column on the left hand side of all the pages ?  Whenever I try to use table codes it ends up putting it on the left .. but above everything else ... i.e. it looks like this


[m]
[y]


[d]
[e]

[a]
[r]
[ Then the rest of the boards appear normally below it]

I figure it might be easier to helpme if you can see my current template, the code i am trying to add into this template is this:

----
<table width="30%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" align="left">
<tr><script src="alliancexml.php"></script>
</tr></table>
----
I've tried changing the table width from 10%-30% with no luck ..

here is my current template without the above code .. my goal is to call the alliancexml.php and have the results displayed in a table on the left hand side of every page ..

Here you go, try this. It's about as simple as I can make it. You should be able to build off of this.
