    Hi,
    I'm trying to code this template

    I want the whole template to be resizeable in height, but when I make the purple cell on the right bigger, it screws up my navigation... how can I fix that?
    and also why is Imageready creating this annoying spacer cells - that are sean in the top and left edges of my template, and how can I remove them without having the whole template screwed up??

    Thanks!!

    Hello!

    I don't want to flame you or anything, since it seems to me that you are new
    in website design. I would suggest you find a better template, thats not a
    very good one, there are lots of free better looking templates out there. Also
    you can make the problems go away by getting better tools to modify your
    website, here is the must get list:

    Macromedia Dreamwaver (for editing)
    Photoshop CS (for graphic)

    There are many other tools you might need, but those will get you started.

    Hi shamrock36. I also agree with Turhapuro. You should work on using better colors for your site. I'd suggest you should look around and see a few good websites over the Internet. Maybe you can start with free templates available and try and see how they've done the coding. You will start learning new things, how colors should be used, what kind of templates people are using, and so on...

    lol, look guys, I forgot to mention, this template looks bad because I don't want to disclose right now for which website I'm creating this, so I've deleted almost everything on it except the navbar, and the bright colors I've made were in order for me to easily see each cell....

    Ok this is what the template supposed to look like (except the logo that I've erased)

    I want the center part to be editable - so I the height would change according to the text, and also to be able to add as much tables as I want besides these two that are currently there

    I also want the quick links to be editable the same way....

    both of them have specila background and rounded corners... so how can I do that?

    Yeah, I'd use fewer colors.

    Well you use tables and table background. Pm me and i send u my email, so
    i can make it for you... It's easy and fast, also if you have photoshop, just
    use the slice tool to slice it like you want it and then just save for web.
    Remember to select images + html file, then it makes the code for you.
