Hello,

The code I initially wrote worked for placing the images around the block. I omitted 2 tags that were needed unintentionally. So yesterday, I went back and tried Joltens code again. With the exception of 3 modules, that code worked. The 3 modules it didn't work on were the buddy list, which I assigned a set width too, and 2 others that I don't recall off hand. I also added the set width to them.

The set width was applied to the table that I wrapped with the cells. That corrected my problem and now everything is working.

When I copied your code, which I tried several times, I had to add the set width to almost all of the modules on my page. I didn't want to set the width on any of the modules. The 3 blocks that I did set the width on now have to have the width changed if they are transferred from one column to the next. That is what I was looking to avoid which is what I was trying to explain to you.

Since the tables already adjusted before the cell wrap was in use, they should still resize with the cell structure in use. They weren't. I had varying sizes of modules. I understood when you were explaining that I needed to set the widths. I didn't want to have to set the widths though. That means that I have to set them each time a block is moved to a new column.(Because the center column is not the same width as the outside column. So after setting the width, I would then need to adjust it if I moved the block to the center.) Right now, the site is being designed and developed. Those blocks will change numerous times before we open the site. That means numerous width changes in order to see how it will look "correctly". Thats where my problem was.

Joltens code worked perfect on every module, even allowing me to move the blocks and they retained shape and adjusted accordingly. (With the exception of 3 modules. Which I really haven't figured out why they don't expand 100% but stop prematurely.) I set their table width too 145, and they work fine now. If I were to move that module to the center, I would need to change that 145 to read something like 305 for it to be the same size as the other center modules.

I was looking for one set of code that wouldn't require me to manually adjust the widths on any of the modules. Apparently that isn't as easy to do as it first appeared. Something about the way some of the modules are coded causes the cell structure to "stop" some of the modules from expanding to 100%. That is beyond me at this point in time.

Hopefully this post shows you that I understood what you were trying to explain, but perhaps it also shows you what it was I was trying to explain.

Setting the widths is something I didn't want to do. I wanted the code to do all the work, so I only had to touch it once.

When I have time, I am going to try and locate why some of the modules stop prematurely. If I know why they stop, I might be able to correct them.

Thanks for your help.

I am Jolten at vb.org. It's the same code.

Hello,
This was the code off of your test page:

PHP Code:


			
<table align="center" width="100%">

    <tr>

        <td valign="top" width="20%"> 

        

        

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

                <tr> 

                    <td width="20"><img border="0" src="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/aeditsideleft.jpg" width="20" height="35"></td> 

                    <td background="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/aeditsidemiddle.jpg"></td> 

                    <td width="20"><img border="0" src="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/aeditsideright.jpg" width="20" height="35"></td> 

                </tr>

                <tr> 

                    <td background="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/asideleft.jpg"></td> 

                    <td> 

            

                        <!--Start Text Here-->

                        <!-- /End Text Here--> 

            

                    </td> 

                    <td background="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/asideright.jpg"></td> 

                </tr>

                <tr> 

                    <td width="20"><img border="0" src="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/aeditsideleftbottom.jpg" width="20" height="35"></td> 

                    <td background="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/aeditsidemiddlebottom.jpg"></td> 

                    <td width="20"><img border="0" src="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/aeditsiderightbottom.jpg" width="20" height="35"></td> 

                </tr>

            </table> 

            <br />

This is the code that worked:

PHP Code:


			
<table align="center">

<tr>

<td valign="top"> 



<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">

    <tr> 

        <td> 

            <img border="0" src="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/aeditsideleft.jpg" width="20" height="35"></td> 

        <td background="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/aeditsidemiddle.jpg"></td> 

        <td> 

            <img border="0" src="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/aeditsideright.jpg" width="20" height="35"></td> 

    </tr>

    <tr> 

        <td background="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/asideleft.jpg"></td> 

        <td>

        <td background="http://www.iguanacenter.com/images/blockimg/aeditsidemiddlebottom.jpg"></td>

    </tr>

</table> 

<br /><br /> 



</td>

</tr>

</table>

You added code to the first one, and that was the one I had problems with. The second one, from vBulletin.org, worked fine.The first set of code you see is the first codebit on your test page.

btw, thanks for the code in general. I didn't realize I ommitted the 2 tags.
