steelhead Power User Registered: 01/14/04 Posts: 99 Loc: Portland, Oregon	I added this code to my header:<br /><br /><table border="3" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="0" bgcolor="#dedfdf" style="border: 5px outset #dedfdf; ; border-collapse:collapse" align="left" bordercolor="#ffffff"><br /> <br /><td width="100%" align="center" style="position: relative; float: left; border: 5px ridge #dedfdf; margin-left: 2; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; padding: 2"><font size="2"><font color="#000000">To post in our forums, or to see the members only forum, you need to </font><br /><a href="http://www.qualityfishing.net/forum/newuser.php?Cat=">register</a><font color="#000000">,</font> <font size="2" color="#000000"><i> it's free and only<br />takes a minute.</i></font><align="left"></td><br /> <br /> The new box shows up and works fine, but it pushs the threads tool bar off to the right of this new box. I beleave my code problem lies in the first part but I cant figure it out. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Your code ends with a </td><br /><br /><br />Try adding<br /><br /></tr></table><br /><br />Otherwise the threads bar is just another cell in the table you are opening. _________________________ Joshua Pettit www.JoshuaPettit.com My abilities are for hire.

steelhead Power User Registered: 01/14/04 Posts: 99 Loc: Portland, Oregon	You quote<br />"Actually the HTML is a mess". Well it takes a mess to make a mess. ; )Still learning. lol<br /><br /> Dont ask me why, but this is the only way I could get it to work right..<br /><br /><table><br /><tr><br /><td><table border="2" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="0" bgcolor="#dedfdf" style="border: 5px outset #dedfdf; ; border-collapse:collapse" bordercolor="#ffffff"><br /><br /><td width="100%" align="center" style="position: relative; float: left; border: 5px ridge #dedfdf; margin-left: 2; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; padding: 2"><font size="2"><font color="#000000">To post in our forums, or to see the members only forum, you need to </font><a href="http://www.qualityfishing.net/forum/newuser.php?Cat=">register</a><font color="#000000">,</font><font size="2" color="#000000"><i> it's free and only<br />takes a minute.</i></font></td><br /><br />But it works so Im happy.

Doesn't that make it invisible? I'm not familiar with the collapse variable. _________________________ - Allen - What Drives You?

fishtails Enthusiast Registered: 06/19/02 Posts: 307 Loc: Fernandina Beach, FL	I took a look at your source code on your home page at qualityfishing.net. There's tons of problems, beginning with your advertising banner s at the very top. You have the images within table cells, yet there is no open table, nor an opening table row tag. Take a look at your html again. This very well may be throwing everything else off, besides adding the code Josh stated.<br /><br />The following code is what you have beginning your page with no opening table. Add an open table and row at the begining of this code, as well as a closing row and table. Also, you may want to take a look at the cell widths. They add up to 200% on my calculations. Take care of that first, THEN work on the code you posted originally. Also, your logo image might need to be in a table, but if not I would at least add a <br /> at the end of your logo code.<br /><br /> Code: <td width="50%" align="center"><a href="http://www.qualityfishingadventures.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.qualityfishing.net/gallery/data/500/2guide_service666666.jpg" width="312" height="100"></a></td><br /> <br /> <br /> <td width="50%" align="center"><a href="http://www.visionhooksandtackle.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.qualityfishing.net/gallery/data/500/2vision-logo.jpg" width="312" height="100"></a></td><br /> <br /> <td width="25%" align="center"><a href="http://www.abugarcia.com" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.qualityfishing.net/gallery/data/500/2abu.jpg" width="157" height="40"></a></td><br /> <br /> <td width="25%" align="center"><a href="http://www.berkley-fishing.com" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.qualityfishing.net/gallery/data/500/2berkley.jpg" width="157" height="40"></a></td><br /> <br /> <td width="50%" align="center"><a href="http://www.theguidesforecast.com" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://www.theguidesforecast.com/pic/tgflogo.gif" width="312" height="50"></a></td> <br /> <br /> _________________________ Fish or Cut Bait! http://www.fish-tails.net [:"red"]Air traffic control?

steelhead Power User Registered: 01/14/04 Posts: 99 Loc: Portland, Oregon	Why did I do that? Beacause I dont know what I am doing. <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It works for me, but I will see if I can play with it more. I dont know Jack, but it gives me a chance to learn.<br /><br />Thanks Guys <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> _________________________ Fish-On Qualityfishing.net
