howdy again...

i've got an error on my memberslist and calendar pages relating to a side column i have which at the end of the footer template i have:

Code:

<!-- side column -->

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">

<tr>

<td class="sidecolumn">

<table border="0" width="100%" align="left" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">

$forumhome_sidecolumn_left

</table>

</td>

<td width="2px"></td>

<td class="maincontent">

<!-- / side column -->

and ending at the begining of my footer

Code:

 

<!-- side column -->

</td>

</tr>

</table>

<!-- / side column -->

now i get 12 errors and after several hours searching i believe that the spacer_close is abruptly ending my side column and therefor throwing up the errors i have of end tag for element that is not open,

my question is what is the spacer_close and spacer_open for exactly and what effect would it have if i removed the code from them??

thanks for your help so far :)

it usually is password protected but while i'm validating it i've disabled the password protect right now, as soon as i get this last problem sorted then i'll enable the password protection again, now back to the question surely someone knows what the spacer_open spacer_close is i've tried searching but cant seem to find an answer

anyone??

Sorry had to leave last night....

I never really even looked at the spacer templates before but it looks like they set the width and padding of the style between the header and footer based on the values in your StyleVars and also checks if you are running a very old version of IE.
Hopefully someone can give you a more definitive answer.

HTML Code:

<if condition="$show['old_explorer']">

        <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="$stylevar[outertablewidth]" align="center"><tr><td class="page" style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px">

<else />

<div align="center">

        <div class="page" style="width:$stylevar[outerdivwidth]; text-align:$stylevar[left]">

                <div style="padding:0px $stylevar[spacersize]px 0px $stylevar[spacersize]px" align="$stylevar[left]">

</if>
