Sidebar Issues

[Data Glasses]

If you go to animal insurance you will see in the sidebar that i have two banners next to each other where i would prefer to drop the pets palace one down underneath

Without knowing what i am doing i cant get it down where i want it (funny that?)

any tips , as you can see next to the google ads i used dots to move that banner under the list of pages

I know 'padding is normally used to move things out' but i have not got around to learning that part yet

any suggestions much appreciated ......on padding and dropping down the banner

cheers

any suggestions much appreciated ......on padding and dropping down the banner

use:

 

to put spaces, if you want a quick way rather than using css.

It beats dots anyway.

And add a

<br />

after the first banner to put 2nd on new line.

theme is called colourful bird

ok thanks johno that seems like a couple of things to try

......see how we go ?

 

[Data Glasses]

first part worked <br /> .........dropped it down instantly but the challenge seems to be the padding so i just copied it to here to read some views, just a little vague on how to use .........&nbsp; correctly. Of course i can just keep trying different combinations which is what i normally do but every now and then its nice to get the answers a bit quicker.......many thanks !

is this what you mean .......didn't change anything ??

i thought i write padding 15pix ........or something like that, although not too sure where i would do that either

I was also hoping to get rid of the dots as well as position the pets palace ad better

 

[johno69]

is this what you mean .......didn't change anything ??

No.

&nbsp; just puts a space. You used dots ... you can replace your dots with &nbsp; if you choose.


Edit: add some width and add some marginwidth.

<iframe width="120" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" hspace="0" &nbsp;="" vspace="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"...

Make them 170 & 50 and see what happens.

 

[Data Glasses]

sorry man but i can tell this will take a few goes

So i'll have a go again tomorrow

cheers !

 

[johno69]

just change:

<iframe width="120" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" hspace="0" &nbsp;="" vspace="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0"

to

<iframe width="170" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" hspace="0" &nbsp;="" vspace="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="50"

It will move the banner to the right 50px

 

[Honan]

Of course Johno69's advice is spot on as usual
However, I would just centre it

<center> your code in the widget </center>

Now unless you were saying completely delete the basically the first line from the first reference to <iframe at the start of the code which i tried but lost the banner

i did it like underneath although it lost my affiliate code in the url address bar and of course cannot stay that way .......although fun to try

<iframe src="http://www.s2d6.com/x/?x=i&amp;z=i&amp;v=3834364&amp;r=[RANDOM]&amp;k=63674" scrolling="no" marginwidth="40" marginheight="0" width="170" height="600" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" hspace="0" &nbsp;="" vspace="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="40"
<ilayer src="http://www.s2d6.com/x/?x=i&amp;z=i&amp;v=3834364&amp;r=[RANDOM]&amp;k=63674" z-index="0" width="120" height="600">
<a href="http://www.s2d6.com/x/?x=c&amp;z=s&amp;v=3834364&amp;r=[RANDOM]&amp;k=63674" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.s2d6.com/x/?x=i&amp;z=s&amp;v=3834364&amp;r=[RANDOM]&amp;k=63674" border="0" alt="click here" />
</a>
</ilayer>
</iframe

About to try honans suggestion just out of interest

Honans way lost the half the banner and now i cannot retrieve it even though i deleted his bit of code and refreshed my cache ?

 

[johno69]

I didn't say to delete anything.

Just edit the values inside. There was a width value for the banner placeholder (iframe) called "Width" width="120" change that to 170 so that when we move the banner to the right it still shows.

Then there is a setting for the margin width called "marginwidth" marginwidth="0" change that to marginwidth="50" to also add 50 pixel margin to the left.

That's it. no deleting lines or anything more.

Serves yourself right for paying any attention to anything I say
By the way, are you using a seperate widget for each banner?
Do what Johno says about editing the values

 

[johno69]

tbh i'd just stick a bigger banner in there

 

[Data Glasses]

Actually i think it all did work ok because when i went to the dgm site and grabbed another banner strangely half the banners were missing (as in only half of a banner was visible) so honans suggestion might have been just as valid

It is a bit hard understand like the above when perhaps i am looking at it from a different way, so johnos method did work although i made it 40 instead of 50 and just as i was about to amend my post our internet dropped off for an hour , perhaps a TPG thing ??

So all is good and i have simply asked dgm if i should be able to see my affiliate code in the url ??

Many thanks guys !

Stay tuned for episode 5

return of the dots next to the google ad !

 

[Data Glasses]

ok wise friends i did put the &nbsp; where the dots were used to pad it out however no changes so i just put it here to ask the next step in case i am missing something ?

</ul>
&nbsp;
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-3357368236629203";
/* animal 2 */

 

[johno69]

&nbsp; is the same as pressing the space bar. But html requires that code.

Just use the same method as you did for banner 2 to align it. Then no need for "Dots" or "&nbsp;" either.

 

[Data Glasses]

I have just noticed the border around the header border has changed and there is a section jutting out at the bootom , i think i will scrap the idea for now

Starting to wonder if anyone clicks on google ads anyway

Just found out the dgm iframe changes the site where at the google banner keeps all together

might leave it at for now

cheers
