help with modules Options

[stormbringer]

Okee, I want my modules to work, but every code I try dosn't work. I really want modules with a white backround, that I can position right next to my blog. I followed the how to make a xanga layout tutorial, but it dosn't say anything about positioning modules. Yeahh... Please help me because I'm about to start banging my head on my desk. (i'm that frustrated) Oh, and one more thing, can you make the blog entries all joined together, so every one dosn't have it's own seperate backround?

heres me code:

I don't understand what you're talking about with the entries + dates?

[stormbringer]

no, i just want somebody to help/give me a code that will
a.)create modules that run down the left side (basically a code for modules)
b.)make the backround for the entries run together smoothly(instead of having a break between each entry)

[venti-anemoi]

CODE

<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<p class="nav">header</p>
<tr>
<td>
<p class="menubottom">
your content here
</td>
</tr>
</table>

That's the code you're using for the modules, correct?

Try putting it in a div, and using the "margin" attribute to position them. Like this:

CODE

<div style="overflow: auto; position: absolute; margin-left: ###px; margin-top: ###px;">


<table border="0">
<tr>
<td>
<p class="nav">header</p>
<tr>
<td>
<p class="menubottom">
your content here
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>

You can put all the modules into one div and position it that way. Just plug in numbers for ### and..... well, guess and check is probably the best way to do it. XD

As for your entries having a break between them, you want just one long white thing with all your entries in them, right? (I mean, your background is all white, yes?) Then try adding this to your code (before your module stuff):

CODE

<style type="text/css">
#maincontent
{background-color: #FFFFFF;}

.maincenter
{background-color: #FFFFFF;}

Hope that works.

[By the way, I like your banner :D]
