 First of all here is the url of my site : http://dakarcontreladrogue.org

As you can see you the search is not properly aligned on the home page

I want to remove it but if I do , I get the content pane all the way on the right 

I did try to use an html editor to troobleshoot,but I did not find the solution

Need help on how to solve the issue

thanks in advance

This looks like it may be something to do with the colspans attached to the other <td> elements of the table containing the search and the panes not matching up.

What I'd recommend doing is breaking this table for the panes into individual tables based on each of the rows, so they're not linked. This way you can control the layout of the panes without it effecting other <td> elements.

An example fo thsi would be:

original code:

<table>
<tr>
<td>this is table cell</td>
<td>this is table cell</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">this is a table cell that spans both of the above table cells</td>
</tr>
</table>

New Code:

<table>
<tr>
<td>this is table cell</td>
<td>this is table cell</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table>
<tr>
<td>this is table cell</td>
</tr>
</table>

This way when you change the layout of one set of cells, it will have no effect on any of the other.

You may also want to add classes and id's to the <td> elements so you can control width and other CSS settings.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Rick.

You're welcome,

Table based skins, or any design built using tables (I'm thinking of HTML emails here) are notoriously difficult, especially if you start getting into colspans and rowspans, because this then links elements together. If possible I'd look towards a CSS based skin if/when you upgrade to a new skin for your site. These can be much easier to control and prove to be a good investment in the long run.

Glad I could help.

Rick.
