IcePersian Posts: 1 Member #61 Jan 4, 2003 14:01	I have tried. And tried. And tried again. To get the sidebar of my site to work. I'm pretty good at HTML but this is crazy. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions/codes I could use?? --Ice   icepersian@wmconnect.com   http://icepersian.envy.nu

That code in and of itself is a bit of trouble.      In either case, the easiest way to get a non-frame sidebar on your site is to use an all-encompassing invisible table.      Right after your body tag, put a little something like this:      <table width=100% border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>   <tr>   <td width=SOME_WIDTH>   [sidebar content]   <td width=COMPLIMENT_WIDTH>   [page content]   </table>         That should just about do it. Replace the respective width values with a sidebar-appropriate width and a page width to finish up the size of the screen.

It seems WM is really spreading out...wish they sold DSL, lol. As for your sidebar problems...What Kero said.      (Yes, this post was spam, except to comment about my surprise on seeing someone else who uses WMconnect.)      Edit: I used to use tables, was supposed to insert an SSI into the left bar of the table instead of frames, had code and everything, never set it up. Yes, I'm lazy.      P.S. - WMConnect is Wal-Mart Connect, by CompuServe or SouthWestern Bell, depending on what you get.

Anything of moderate use isn't spam. It fit into something that was part of this topic, namely Ice Persian. Spam is detached, incoherent babble that has no place in a particular forum, post, or anywhere on our planet.      And technically, if you weren't lazy, you'd put up the SSI because it would save you time in the long run.
