Hi i am trying to align a TD so that it goes next to the TD without spanning all the way to the right ?

its messing up the whats going on area.

here is a picture hopefully someone can help me out

Looks to me like you made another column instead of adding to the one thats already there

Well, you edited the FORUMHOME template for this obviously, so could you paste your code up here for that particular section of the template? I'll see if I can get this fixed or see what went wrong

thanks for the reply pal, i copied the tbody bits from the birthdays bit so the gifs i will change later wanted to get it working first and finish of the touches later

basicly i want to keep the break that is at the end so it looks like there is 2 sections in there (hope that makes sense)

Code:

<!-- DW permissions and groups -->
<tbody>
	<tr>
		<td class="thead" colspan="2">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumhome_birthdays')"><img id="collapseimg_forumhome_birthdays" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_thead$vbcollapse[collapseimg_forumhome_birthdays].gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>

	</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody id="collapseobj_forumhome_birthdays" style="$vbcollapse[collapseobj_forumhome_birthdays]">

Ok, sorry, could you paste your whole FORUMHOME code up here? I'll try and play with it a little on my test site
