I'm no expert so I'm really not sure what you mean.

I normally use an Iframe in my table cell. You might want to look into that.

There ya go, scroll down to the Iframes section part.

Or you could use a DIV:

Sheila, the link you posted that has the tutorial, where the heck do you add the other tags, like the scrollbar colors etc. ? It doesn't say where to inset them. I too need help but am not as smart as all you all, yes I have searched but I don't understand what any of it means so....

What I want is this:

a section on the left sort of like a left frame, but not thick, only thick enough to include my site map, I want the second middle part a little bit bigger because that is where I want to add my site introduction, and then I want a third section on the right, think again, so that I can add some stupid HTML thingies in it. Do you understand? :) I hope that is clear enough.

You add scrollbar properties in the style="" section after the absolute positioning. Remember, properties are always divided by ;. For example:

<div style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 300px; scrollbar-arrow-color: #bdbdbd; scrollbar-base-color: #969696; scrollbar-dark-shadow-color: #969696; scrollbar-highlight-color: #bdbdbd; scrollbar-track-color: #969696;">

Can you go to my site and tell me why my font is so big? I can't seem to find where the problem is or how to fix it, thanks!

Change your CSS to this:

<style type="text/css">
<!--
A:link
{ text-decoration: none }
body, td
{ background-color: #33ccff;


font-family:verdana;
color: #0033ff ;
font-size: x-small;


scrollbar-face-color : #33ccff;
scrollbar-highlight-color : #33ccff;
scrollbar-3dlight-color : #000000; scrollbar-shadow-color : #000000;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color : #000000; scrollbar-track-color : #33ccff;
scrollbar-arrow-color : #000000 }

-->
</style>

That way the text applies to the table tags too, because they always have differently sized values. Of course there still may be color issues, if so post again and I'll split it for you.

I don't know what I would do without this site and your help lol...I am going crazy enough as it is lol.

Well that fixed the font but ya, the color is now in the tables.


Is there a way to get the right table smaller...it is set to 15 but as soon as I added the tag board it made the part bigger. Yes I am an idiot! Also what can I do to get the information to start from the top of the table section instead of centering it...as you can see in the right part it doesn't start at top.


Thanks!!!! :D

If the tagboard is bigger than 15 (which i assume it is) it will stretch the table.
To make something start at the top add valign="top" to the <td> tag.

Thank you! Is there any way to shrink the tagboard or no?

Also what about the color?
