3 part tcat?

I was wondering if it is possible to have a 3 part tcat. For example: the tcat on this skin is broken into 3 pieces; a right, middle and left piece.

How might I go about doing this?

 

Not sure how that particular designer does it, but I do it like this:

<div class="tcat_main"><div class="tcat_left"><div class="tcat_right"><div class="tcat_text">

<!--start coding -->
tcat title, description, expanders, etc coding here.
<! -- / end coding -->

</div></div></div></div>

Code (markup):

Then in the css I put something like:

.tcat_main {
background: url(xx.gif) top left repeat-x;
height: xxpx;
}

.tcat_left {
background: url(xx_left.gif) top left no-repeat;
height: xxpx;
}

.tcat_right {
background: url(xx_right.gif) top right no-repeat;
height: xxpx;
}

.tcat_text {
padding: 10px; /* may need to play around with this value depending on your images */

Code (markup):

Takes awhile to type ...anyways, just replace the xx's with the right value. If you need some more help, I can try doing it for you if you send me the images.

 

Awesome, but what goes in here:

<!--start coding -->
[COLOR="Red"]tcat title, description, expanders, etc coding here.[/COLOR]
<! -- / end coding -->

Code (markup):

Thanks for the help.

 

			<if condition="$childforumbits">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			</if>
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
			<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
			<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

Code (markup):

Delete that then put that coding inside those divs where I put the comment tag .

Cheers!

 

Last question: where does this code go?:

<div class="tcat_main"><div class="tcat_left"><div class="tcat_right"><div class="tcat_text">

<!--start coding -->
			<if condition="$childforumbits">
			<a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a>
			</if>
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a>
			<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
			<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
<! -- / end coding -->

</div></div></div></div>

Code (markup):
