I would be forever greatful if someone could help me out with this.

Okay so here is my problem. I am trying to make a third column on the right hand side of my site:
Notice how there is a blank space on the complete right side of the page... Where it says IPARENTS CONNECT is the most desirable place for this even a little bit lower so it matches with the rest. I have created a simple <td>IPARENTS CONNECT </td> but once I insert an image or do any sort of line break it messes up the whole design and drops everything up or down... :mad:


If someone could tell me where I need to add <div> or tables that would be great!!! If someone could tell me EXACTLY what to do that would be even better.. I WILL ADD REP!!!

A quick fix would be to add rowspan="2" to that <td> tag you currently have IPARENTS CONNECT in. That will give you some more room to put content in.

<td rowspan="2">IPARENTS CONNECT</td>
The rowspan is a property of the td tag. The code should work for you.

Just be aware that because of the setup of the tables on the page you will not be able to have one column for the full length of the page on the right. You would have to rework the layout of the tables before you could do that. This should allow you to add content on the right top section though and you can still add content to the right bottom section.

Still not working for me..... Do I have the <tr><td rowspan=3>IPARENTS CONNECT</td></td></tr> placed in the wrong place?

Have you posted the updated html file anywhere where I could take a look at it?

to be honest, if i was doing this, i would use divs rather than a table (i'm not saying a table is wrong, but i find divs easier to use). if you would consider doing this, then try looking at this site, it might have an explanation which fits the layout you want.

obviously you can play around with the widths, so it suits your needs, but it is something similar to what i've used on my site and is very flexible when it comes to refining the design.
