Sorry guys I’m kinda new to dnn. I just have a quick question. How do you create a side bar, which is separate form main center text etc. I just want to put pictures down the right hand side of my home page but have a line or something separating them. Sorry, I know its prob. Something simple that I just haven’t spotted!

Dear Deirdre

You want a vertical sidebar right hand side of the skin content.
Then you must make a new skin with a supplementaire column where you can put in something. Look at the documentation how you can make a skin.
Perhaps it can look like this:

Leftbody Content BannerRight Rightbody

<table border="1" width="100%" id="table1">
 <tr>
  <td width="5%">Leftbody</td>
  <td width="100%">Content</td>
  <td width="10%">BannerRight</td>
  <td width="5%">Rightbody</td>
 </tr>
</table>

Hope this will help

I think using the width's like that will get you into trouble.
Aspecially with cross browser compatiblilty

<table border="1" width="100%" id="table1">
 <tr>
  <td width="5%">Leftbody</td>
  <td width="100%">Content</td>
  <td width="10%">BannerRight</td>
  <td width="5%">Rightbody</td>
 </tr>
</table>

All the Td's together are more then 100%. This is not correct and will cause different browsers to handle the page differently.

Dear Timo B

I never said that you must take the width in the simple explanation to have 4 colums.
You must have 4 colums you said. In my example you have 4 colums... I'm not the designer of your skin.
That the sum of all width is more than 100% is'nt really a problem... But it is of course better that you give certain colums a px-width
