How do I add html to the left column?

[mcgyver7923]

Hello all,

I would like to remove the boxes from my left column ( I know how to do this with column_left.php), and resize that table so I can place html into it. Basically I am using parts of a template to format the look of my site. How can I do this? I'm not sure where to place the code to get it onto that table. I know I can set the box widths in application_top.php but I need to adjust the entire table..... I need the table to butt directly against the header and footer. Any ideas??? :roll: Thank you!!

:wink:

I think you would have to treat them as separate boxes. Have a look at my site and tell me if thats nearer to what youre after.

 

All i did was create a class called .columnleft and give it a background. I made all the boxes transparent in the css. I then went each box (catalog/includes/boxes) and added the html tag at the top like this

 

<tr>

 <td><img src="images/boxes/table_information.gif" width="140" height="20"> 

<?php

// $info_box_contents = array();

 //$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION);



 //new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 

you also have to comment out the heading.

 

I suppose you could could put whatever html you wanted in here but i thin k the text links will make the site faster.

Thanks for the info, I figured it out...I put the html directly into column left. I completely removed the boxes and am using a different menu system. Thanks!!! :D :D :lol: :wink:
