Well, after working again all afternoon (thanks Rosemary for the HTML tutorial -- it really helped), and slogging through a ton of HTML, I made a bit of progress. I now realize the fonts aren't going to work, so I went ahead and just put in a "generic" Verdana and Times New Roman font. Now the problem is that even though I have put in a valign="middle" command for the table cell containing the MedSleuth name, the "MedSleuth" is still appeearing at the top of the cell. It needs to appear next to the burgundy-colored cells.

Further, I still can't get the ads to display.

If I could get these two things nailed down, I think I would just leave it alone. Can anyone help?

Thanks again for your help and your patience.

Joanne

Joanne, check my response to you in the other thread. It has the workaround.

Thanks for your reply. One question with the workaround, I assume you aren't copying the table you create for the forum where you put the text Message Board. I know you mentioned you copy the code before the Message Board and after Message Board text, but I assume you are also leaving out the code for the table you created to put the Message Board text into, right?

My other problems are that my fonts aren't showing up correctly, and the vertical alignment isn't working, and my ads aren't showing up.

Thanks again,
Joanne

Hey JRRW,

Let me see if I can clear this up for you. Siena was recommending you create a template locally like this:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>example</title>
    css/javascript/metadata
  </head>
  <body>
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="3">Header</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Left</td>
        <td>MESSAGE_BOARD</td>
        <td>Right</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="3">Footer</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>
</html>


Now when you have finished working with the template and are ready to put the HTML into your style you would grab only the HTML that is supposed to go into each setting:

Insert into HEAD Tag (JS/CSS Meta tags Only):
css/javascript/metadata


Insert AFTER Opening Body Tag (HTML Only):
    <table>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="3">Header</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Left</td>
        <td>


Insert BEFORE Closing Body Tag (HTML Only):
</td>
        <td>Right</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td colspan="3">Footer</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
  </body>


Since you are reserving the spot that contains MESSAGE_BOARD for the message board you need to make sure to grab everything on both sides and include it in the right places in the control panel.

Now regarding the font and location HTML not working I would recommend trying to use the CSS equivelents from:

http://w3schools.com/css

I hope that all helps,

Thanks for the clarification.

The link for the css doesn't seem to be working?

Weird, I had to go to the base website and use the CSS link. It takes you here:

Thanks!! Awesome link. Between this and Rosemary's HTML link, I've gotten pretty close to solving most of my problems. Thanks a lot.
