Alignment question

I've got my right pane in my skin which contains the inventua side menu and the logo controls. I need the menu to be vertically aligned to the top, while the log is vertically aligned to the bottom. I was able to acheive this by making the logo a background image in the css and aligning it to the bottom, but this isn't an option as once we start creating child portals that use this skin those portals will have a different logo. So is there anyway to have two controls in the same pane vertically align to different positions?

Re: Alignment question

You could put in one more table with two rows and two cells inside the area you are using now and do it that way.

If it were me, I would do it the way you are doing it now though, and copy the skin to each Portal's own skin directory so they can have their own background images.

Hello Tony, try the following....

I had it working with "Horizontal Menu - Full Width.aspx" - which is a DNN built-in skin

Re: Alignment question

Here's my code for the right pane, including the two new panes inside of it. For some reason when I load this ascx file to my website it goes back to using the default skin. I don't know what might be the error, and it also doesn't give me any errors that I can see,so I don't know why it won't load. Can anyone tell me why it wont load properly? It did before adding everything from the <table> to </table> all the inventua side menu stuff was places after the rightpane <td> before

<tr>

<dnn:INVSIDEMENU id="dnnInvSideMenu"

runat="server"

RootTab="-1"

MenuHeaderCssClass="MenuHdr"

MenuHeaderHighlighterCssClass="MenuHdr"

MenuItemCssClass="MenuItem"

MenuHighlightCssClass="MenuItemMouseOver"

CurrentHeaderCssClass="currentHeaderHighlight"

CurrentItemCssClass="currentItemHighlight"

TreatTopLevelAsHeader="true"

DrawSeparator="false"

DrawTrailingHR="false"

CurrentSubTreeOnly="True" />

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<dnn:LOGO id="dnnLOGO" runat="server" OnLoad="dnnLOGO_Load"></dnn:LOGO>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</td>

Re: Alignment question

I don't think you are supposed to have nested panes (one inside another). Your RightTopPane and RightBottomPane are inside the RightPane.
