I have now established that the best way to alter the layout in the way I need to is to split the site up into seperate include files... now being the ASPIdiot that I am I dont have a clue what I need to put in each include... so if anyone could basically spell it out for me, or even better, do it for me I would be eternally grateful.
I think for most people its just a case of chop it into what you feel is the most 'logical' organisation for the includes, I generall try and avoid splitting tables up over multiple includes as it makes it far too easy to confuse yourself when you do
ie if your page has a banner, main content window and a footer (much like Snitz does) then that would be your logical split points, banner/main/footer
I dont know ASP so I dont know where abouts I need to cut the code without destroying the forum, I dont have time to experiment as I have client jobs to do, so I basically need someone to either do it for me or for them to basically tell me EXACTLY what code is needed to make the nav include the content include, the announcements include and the login include.
sorry if I sounds thick but I'm clueless when it comes to asp.
