<div id="container" style="width:500px">

<div id="header" style="background-color:#FFA500;">
<h1 style="margin-bottom:0;">Main Title of Web Page</h1></div>

<div id="menu" style="background-color:#FFD700;height:200px;width:100px;float:left;">
<b>Menu</b>

CSS

JavaScript</div>

<div id="content" style="background-color:#EEEEEE;height:200px;width:400px;float:left;">
Content goes here</div>

Oh, sorry about that. But if you look at the page you can see there was a link because how it shows up. this is what i had
Code:
[url=URL]link[/url]
Oh that codes works on HTML pages weird. Why doesn't that same code you posted work on thread posts I have to use the link button to post a working link. Ok, problem solved. But one other question is there a way to add a column to the right side like the one on the left? It just looks weird to me without a right column.

This code
Code:
[url=URL]link[/url]
is for posts because it's a BBcode. It's not HTML. You can select the option to allow HTML in your posts if you want, however.

In a HTML page, BBcode doesn't work because BBcode isn't HTML.

Hope this helps you in your work Wink

Oh ok nevermind the column i find out how to chance it. it was the purple column from the left side and chance it so it was on the right side. So I think I can take it form here. Thanks for the help both of you. This may now be locked
