I have a standard header page that includes a vertical menu of all the web
pages. Everything works great. When I go to any web page for a browse (from
this menu), the menu appears to the left as it should, and the list page
appears just to the right of the menu and up at the top, as it should.
I changed the header page so the menu is generated from a table in the
database (grid), the field is html, and this works great. I can seledct a
menu choice from the grid and am taken to the appropriate web page. But
here is the part that is not working quite right. The web page no longer
appears just to the right of the menu (grid) and up top, but it now appears
after the grid.
No matter what I do, I cannot get subsequent pages to appear next to the
grid that is on the header page.
Thanks
Glenn

My guess is that CCS has helpfully closed a few HTML tags to do with the
header.
To have a vertical menu, the header and footer structures are basically like
this:
header: <table><tr><td> COLUMN 1 - MENU </td><td>
- - - - - - - your pages are sandwiched here ----------------
footer </td></tr></table>
-as you see, the header begins the table that sets the page layout, and the
footer closes it again. This is how it is after you've used the CCS
wizard. Once you edit the page (using the design view) CCS notices that
there is an unclosed <table> tab in the header and closes it for you, so it
looks like this
header: <table><tr><td> COLUMN 1 - MENU </td><td></td></tr></table>
Which will of course make the page content sit underneath the menu.
So whenever you've edited a header or footer in Design view, you need to
switch to HTML view and lop off the final </td>...etc
Give it a try, anyway!
