Hopefully a simple question but it has been driving me insane.  I have an html skin that I've been creating that looks something like:

...

                   <tr>
                       <td width="25" align="center" valign="middle">&nbsp;</td>
                    <td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>
                            </tr>
                   <tr>  
                       <td width="25" align="center" valign="middle">&nbsp;</td>
                    <td align="left" valign="top" class="copy">[CONTENTPANE]</td>
                   </tr>
                  </table>
     </td>
     <td width="219" align="center" valign="top" bgcolor="#999966">
         <img src="images/whatshappening.gif" width="219" height="73"><br>
      <table width="200" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" ID="Table8">
       <tr>
        <td align="left" valign="top" class="copy_bold_white">[CONTENTPANE:1]</td>
       </tr>
      </table>

...

And an XML file that has

...

 <Object>
  <Token>[CONTENTPANE]</Token>
  <Settings>
   <Setting>
    <Name>ID</Name>
    <Value>RightPane</Value>
   </Setting>
  </Settings>
 </Object>
 <Object>
  <Token>[CONTENTPANE:1]</Token>
  <Settings>
   <Setting>
    <Name>ID</Name>
    <Value>RightPane</Value>
   </Setting>
  </Settings>
 </Object>
 <Object>
  <Token>[CONTENTPANE:2]</Token>
  <Settings>
   <Setting>
    <Name>ID</Name>
    <Value>MiddlePane2</Value>
   </Setting>
  </Settings>
 </Object>

....

Although it doesn't have a contentpane:2 in the html file, I was using that to try to figure out what I was doing wrong.  The file is parsed fine without error but when I create a page using the skin the only the contentpane has a default content area in it.  How do I get the other conent area to display?

Many thanks...

Michael

In the HTML, use CONTENTPANE:1 and CONTENTPANE:2, and the same in the XML file.
BUT - it's much easier to take the short route... in the HTML, use this:
<td align="center" valign="middle"><div id="YourContentPaneName" runat="server" class="YourClassName"></div></td>
 and then you can eliminate the content pane designations in the .XML file altogether.

Remember rule #1, though: A DNN skin must have at least one content pane, and it must be named "ContentPane". After that, you can name (ID=) the rest of them almost anything you'd like. You also have to use the runat="server" directive when not using XML.

That part I have done as can be seen in the snippets that I included.  Although, I noticed that there is a typo in the value of the contentpane setting.

Maybe I am asking the wrong question.  How do I get a content area to show in the contentpane:2 section?

Thanks

Michael
