kamera1 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 my site look horrible ! i have 2 vertical tables and the left one seems to merge into the right one. take a lookie here: http://redesign.the-napkin.org/ is there a HTML guru in the house? (: it might have something to do with the Movable type code... speaking of MT, I didn't know TCH had a MT "how-to" page! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Welcome to the Family and your new home! In looking at your source code I only see one table <TABLE> a table row <TR> two horizontal cells <TD> . . </TD> some code that should be inside the top <TD> <TD> . . </TABLE> but no closing row </TR> before the closing table tag. Although the page renders the same with or without the corrections. We really are like family here. So if you need anything, just ask your new family! We love to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woesap Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I think what you want is: 1 - MOre space between the two columns 2 - More space between the border of the cel and the text or maybe both:-) Well this can be established by: 1 - Celspacing - Amount of space between two cells. In nothing is declared there is no space other then the one suggested by border, Try >cellspacing=5 2 - Celpadding - Amount of space between the border and the text . Nothing declared and aligned left it's directly agains the border. Try >cellpadding=5 For your page it would be something like: ><TABLE BORDER=1 cellspacing=5 cellpadding=10> Try it out and see if I am right and if this is what you want. Good luck.

kamera1 Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 thank you both for your fast and helpful responses. the cellpadding and spacing are both at "10" so i don't know what else to do. that HR line above the "posted by" seems like it might be part of the problem but it looks like it's a Movable type thing. i guess configuring an html template made in Blogger for use in MT is nearly impossible. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woesap Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Maybe you can first tell us what you exactly want. Two equal sized columns in the center? To the left??? Maybe then we can help you any further... grtx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamera1 Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 oh i apologize for not being completely clear. my mind is in overload with all this coding. what i want is a 2 column site. the left one about 400 pixels in width and the right one about 225 in width. this is what i see on my browser: what i dont like is that white space that merges into the right column because obvs. that's not supposed to be there. i'm just trying to fixt that glitch that's all. thanks for replying.

TCH-Don Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I am not seeing that this is what I see in firefox and IE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamera1 Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 oh my goodness this is terribly frustrating. that design looks horrible in Safari & IE 5.2. but in Netscape & Firefox it looks alright. GRR. there isn't anything i can do is there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 You could fix the html errors mentioned above view your source code and you will see code between the cells </td> <br> <-- not needed <td> in the middle you have extra <td> or no closing </td> </TD> <TD align=left VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR="#CFECEC" WIDTH="10" CELLPADDING="5" CELLSPACING="5"> <BR> <TD align=left at the end you have two cell ends </TD> <--- extra ? </FONT SIZE> </div> <!-- End #sidebar --> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamera1 Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 yeah ultimately, the html template just wasn't working with movable type. i saved it and i'm going to keep working on it tho' (: oh hey, one more question pls: the css coding on the sidebar on the right is messed up here ( http://blog.the-napkin.org ) and it should look like this sidebar ( http://redesign.the-napkin.org ). what gives? it's the same css template.

woesap Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 the css coding on the sidebar on the right is messed up here ( http://blog.the-napkin.org ) and it should look like this sidebar ( http://redesign.the-napkin.org ). what gives? it's the same css template. Maybe it's this? >http://blog.the-napkin.org: <div id="right"> <div id="sidebar"> >redesign.the-napkin.org <div id="right"> <div class="sidebar"> Ergo one is declared as a DIV css and one as a class css. It could make a difference. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamera1 Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 thanks so much TCH peeps! (i don't even know the difference between a div and class. :/ but i'm not planning on any more site redesigns ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
