How to create more boxes?

[enginerunup]

Hello,

Can someone help me figure out how to create titled boxes, that will look just like the ones that are currently on the left/right of the directory? I want to add a few more items to the sides, but I want them to blend in with the rest of the page. The boxes I am trying to emulate are the ones like Tell a Friend, Who's Online, etc....

I know how to play around with moving items in the kosmos/index.html file, but I can't figure this out. I have tried to copy the other boxes, but manipulate their content, but that hasn't worked for me either.

Thank you in advance,

load up themes/kosmos/tell_a_friend.html into your html editor, copy the contents, and paste them into the index file where you want the box to appear, remove the tell a friend bit and replace with whatever you wanted...

Thank you for the response. I looked at the themes/kosmos/tell_a_friend.html, but isn't that a form for the entire page, and not just for a box on the side? I also looked in themes/kosmos/blocks/tell_a_friend.html, and that looks more like what I need to copy maybe? Anyways, when I cut and paste into my html editor, do I just enter the code directly into themes/kosmos/index.html, or do I create a file such as generic.html and access that through the above mentioned index.html? Anyways, here is the code from themes/kosmos/blocks/tell_a_friend.html, which part do I keep and which do I delete?

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="5"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="171" height="26" background="<%$tpl_base%>/images/template_23.gif" class="head">&nbsp;<strong>Tell
a Friend</strong></td>
<td><img src="<%$tpl_base%>/images/template_24.gif" width="31" height="26" alt=""></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="100%" colspan="5" class="panel-bg">
<table width="95%" align="center">
<tr>
<td>Tell a friend who may be intersted our website. Fill
out the information below and we will email the recipient
a brief note telling them all about our ER Anything Auto Web Directory.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">

<form action="tell_friend.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="pflag" value="tf">

<table width="100%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="90"><div style="font-size : 11px;">Your

</td>
<td><input type="text" size=14 name="my_name">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div style="font-size : 11px;">Your Email</div>
</td>
<td><input type="text" size="14" name="my_email">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div style="font-size : 11px;">Friend's Name</div>
</td>
<td><input type="text" size="14" name="friend_name">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><div style="font-size : 11px;">Friend's Email</div>
</td>
<td><input type="text" size="14" name="friend_email">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp; </td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Submit" class="button">
<br>&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>


Thanks in advance,

yep sorry its in the blocks folder as you said. you just paste it instead of using <%block_name%>

use this code :

            <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
              <tr>
                <td colspan="5">
                  <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
                    <tr>
                      <td width="171" height="26" style="background-image:url(<%$tpl_base%>/images/template_23.gif)"  class="head">Title here</td>
                      <td><img src="<%$tpl_base%>/images/template_24.gif" width="31" height="26" alt="rel links" /></td>
                    </tr>
                  </table>
                </td>
              </tr>
              <tr>
                <td height="100%" colspan="5" class="panel-bg">
                  <table width="95%" align="center">
                    <tr>
                      <td>
Enter info here

					  
					             </td>
                    </tr>
                  </table>
                </td>
              </tr>
            </table>

Thank you very much, it works perfectly.

I just purchased the license a couple of days ago, and I really appreciate your help. With any product, support is just about more important than the actual product itself, and with the two threads I have started, they were both answered (and correctly!) within 24 hours.

Thanks again,

Greg
