Hi guys.

I'm modifying the smartdark theme, and it's going pretty good, but I ran into a couple of problems.

I want to change small grey frame that is the browsers main background, to a picture background, I have been looking through the code in both theme and style but I can't seem to find where it should be put in.

The main black table, where everything else is put into, is too wide for my theme, I want to make it smaller eg. 80% but where is that table defined?

I hope that I made myself clear, and that some friendly soul can help me. I'm a rookie in nuke, but fairly skilled in HTML.

**bonus question(off topic, just a quickie :? )**
Can .js just be inserted in frames/tables like a normal html page?

THX

Bonus answer: You can use javascripr when you need to add a script to the head section put it at the very top of the header.html file. If you have multiple "on-load" functions(if you have more than one javascript), remove the on-load lines from the script in the body and put them all in one line at the top of the header.html file.

Bonus bonus: You can have a favicon in the addressbar at your site by putting this in the very top of the header.html file.
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
Then put a 16x16 icon named favicon.ico in your web root directory.

LOL, thanks for the extra bonusinfo. Now I can start working with the java, while figuring out how to modify the things I mentioned. It's gonna be a loooong night :wink: :wink:

Also be sure to read the help at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/help.htm about multiple scripts.
1Q) I'm having trouble getting two or more scripts to work concurrently on one page. By themselves, each function just fine, but when put together, they throw a tantrum. Help!

Off the top of my head. Look in your theme.php for this line

Code:

    echo "<body bgcolor=\"#000000\" text=\"#FFFFCC\" leftmargin=\"10\" topmargin=\"10\" marginwidth=\"10\" marginheight=\"10\">";

that is what defines the small border region around the whole page(margin).

Now look in your header.html file

Code:

<table class="bodyline" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">

The very top table defines the width of the entire page I believe...Try changing that width percentage and see what happens. If you knwo HTML, you shouldn't have ANY problems...
Be careful if you are using Dreamweaver though, it sometimes puts in missing closing tags automatically when they should be left open. The theme.php calls each html part in sequence. The html tags carry on from the header.html to the footer.html.

Thanks for all your help, but I managed to get it all worked with the style/style.css. Coffee is good for your brain
