Help with stylesheets/templates

[Annette]

Hi, This is my first time of using CMS and I'm in the process of setting up one of my clients sites with it. The site will be a mixture of CMS pages and normal html pages. I've created a few html pages and require the CMS pages to have the same navigational structure and footer etc.
I've managed to put these into the pages but my problem is that I have a gap between my header and navigational structure which shows through the background colour.
I'm sure it has something to do with a CSS setting or template setting but can't seem to work out where!!!
If someone can help it would be most appreciated.

Here is a link to what the top section should look like http://www.rivapetz.com.au/Home.php and here is the link to how it is looking within the CMS format http://www.rivapetz.com.au/cms/index.php

Thanks in advance.

Don't know if it will helps, but I think you should check your template once again:

    if ((img = MM_findObj(args[2])) != null && !img.MM_init) {
      img.MM_init = true; img.MM_up = args[3]; img.MM_dn = img.src;
      if ((nbArr = document[grpName]) == null) nbArr = document[grpName] = new Array();
      nbArr[nbArr.length] = img;
      for (i=4; i

Thanks, I tried deleting the top set of , then saved and uploaded but still no change. I've put them back.
In the browser source code you can see the second set of head code but in the native file that I'm changing it in (index.php) they don't show.

[cyberman]

Can you post your template please ?

This follows on from the near the bottom of the source code that you pasted.

The dreamweaver part should be included in template, not in index.php  ...

[Annette]

Oohh!!  Thanks cyberman.

Sorry, but I'm only just starting to understand CSS and am getting confused with the Templates etc.

I have deleted my code from the index and tried placing it in a few of the different templates but with no success.

Which template file should it go into? The ones in the admin section or within the folder 'tmp' and 'templates' folders in the directory?

I appreciate your help, hopefully I'll get this sorted!!

[cyberman]

In CMSms templates are stored in database.

So you must go in admin area to second menu layout - templates. Don't know your installation but your source must be included in the main template (look at the green tick).

Back again!!  I have re-installed the program as I had deleted a few tags etc initially when I put my navigation structure into the index file.

Still having trouble with getting my navigation menu files to show. I'm using the Bulletmenu Vert col 1 template and have gone into the edit mode and tried pasting the source code in as you suggested. When I submit it and then view the site it just shows up as a blank screen.

I have uploaded the navigation menu files into the uploads/images folder. If they were just plain jpg or gif files I can see in the stylesheet where that gets placed but they're not.

Any suggestions?

[Annette]

I found the answer in the 'General Help' forum.

The html and javascript needs to be surrounded by {literal} {/literal} tags.

This worked a treat, except I still have the original spacing problem.

To read more about the literal tags go to 'General help" and 'embedding javascript'
