    Hi Guys.

    Been nice and quiet for a while haven't I?

    Do we have a tutorial here for "Table Based" Skins?


    Question; how can I position the Menu here without the Header Image doubling up in the space??

    Second Issue;
    Trying to set a CSS class for the "DnnLogo".


        <!--..tr>
            <!--..td valign="top" background="<%= SkinPath ...%>xpix/XDChangesTop02.jpg">
              <!--..tr>
                <..td height="1"> 
              <../tr>
              <..tr>
                <...td><dnn:LOGO  align="center" valign="top" runat="server" id="dnnLOGO" />AIMA, Australian Ins ute of Martial Arts
              <---/tr>
              <--tr>
                <--td height="30" valign="bottom">

                    <--tr>
                    <--tr height="10"> 
                      <--td valign="top"><!-- Menu Placement -->
          <--dnn:MENU runat="server" id="dnnMENU" />
                          <!-- End Menu Placement -->
                    <--/tr>
                <--/table>
              <----/tr>
            <---/table>
        <--/tr>

    Cheers

    Start with the tutorials in issues 5 and 6. Then look at the others.

    Looked at them again, and it helped.


    I realized that the header image set the size of the header, and the menu actually sits on top of the image.

    I now can size and positioning with the image.


    Alternatively;
    Would that be to give the Menu a CSS class, and then use padding's or margins in CSS?


    Cheers

    Hi Again Joe!

    Thought I had this sorted - and then I see it plays up in IE 7

    Thanks!!!

    I'll look in more detail tonight.  But ... "Regisration" is not spelled correctly!

    I can't see a problem in IE7, but you may want to look at how you have named your tables.

    Each table has the id of "Table_01"

    An id always needs to be unique in a html file, you can have multiple classes on the page using the same name, but not multiple ids

    I found this by viewing the source code of the page and pasting it into Visual Web Developer Express and going to the View Menu / Error List

    Thanks Guys!!

    The actual expansion was (partly at least) a 950px flash display, I changed it for an old smaller which might be why you couldn't see the problem Lee.


    I will look at the file and correct the table naming.


    Cheers
