You could use frames or tables to do this

It involves minor editing of the header and footer templates. I assume you're only trying to "divide the page" and have an idea of what you want for your menu set up.

I began playing around with the script yesterday. Is this the effect you are trying to achieve:

www.markkolber.com/guestbook

If it is, here's what I did:

In the header template, add the following to the end. I used a 1X150 px transparent image as a placeholder to set the left side width, but you probably know that you can accomplish that in different ways.

==============================

<!-- This creates a table for the purpose of dividing the page in half-->
<TABLE BORDER="" WIDTH="100%">
<TR>
<TD NAME="Left">
<!-- Transparent image placeholder-->
<IMG SRC="img/clear150.gif" WIDTH="150" HEIGHT="1" BORDER="0">
</TD>
<TD NAME="Main">
<!-- this "cell" is the one that contains the main text of the page.
It gets closed in the footer document -->

==============================

Then, at the very beginning of the footer template:

==============================
<!-- End page division -->
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<!-- End Page Division Table -->

<!-- default footer continues-->

==============================

Does this help?

Hi your article on Ad Guestbook is very good. I am not to clear about the transparent 1x150px -is this pixels?. Not being all that computer literate can you roughly explain how I go about making a transpaency from an image

1x150px

Is a way of stating an image 1 wide by 150 tall or the other way (I'm not sure which way since I didn't write it. Usually taken as width by height).

The px stands for pixel.

My fault. It's 1 high by 150 wide. Actually, that's not necessary 1X1 is okay and then simply tell the IMG parameters how large to "stretch" it.

If you have an image creator, create a new image in that size. Fill it with whatever color you want (grey is pretty typical fore the purpose). Set grey to the transparency color and save it as a gif.

IrfanView will do it. Go to Image | Create New (Empty). In the dialog, set the size to 1 X 1 or whatever (don't worry about the dpi) and change the background color to grey. Save the file as a .gif and in the advanced options check "set transparent color". When you hit the save button, a dialog will come up to have you click on the color your want to be transparent. Since there's only one, it's pretty easy to choose.
