You're missing something. But it's more of an HTML issue than an H-T issue. > i searched the mailing list archives as well as google and haven't found a > solution. any pointers would be greatly appreciated. You want a table, most likely. That's the layout I use at the Phoenyx. In fact, if you look at <URL: http://www.phoenyx.net/index.tmpl >, you can see the raw template file for the index.html main page (static, regenerated nightly). You'll have to look at the subtemplates, since I actually do a sort of reverse template, but the basic structure of the HTML looks something like this: === Sample pseudocode === <TABLE width=100%> <TR><TD width=(either an explicit pixel width or a percentage, depending on what you're putting in the "sidebar") valign="top"> (Your sidebar stuff) </td></tr><TR><TD valign="top"> (Your main content stuff... the "x", or a TMPL_INCLUDE in your case) </td></tr> </table> === end pseudocode === You can get clever with your table layout and cause the main content to appear above the sidebar for Lynx users (two rows, two columns, of which the first cell is 1 pixel high, and the second column is a rowspan of two, and the sidebar lives in the first column, *second* row), but you have to be careful because Netscape and IE don't always agree on how that should be displayed. I think mine still does that, so don't let it confuse you. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
