Nesting Blocks

[clickbouyow]

I did a search and didn't find anything like this.  I was wondering if there is a way to "nest" blocks (put two or more blocks inside of a block)?  This would be a great way to show servers or special deals.

Thanks,

well the blocks are basically containers

so you can put any and all sort of elements into them

to have the appearance of 2 blocks inside one simply use HTML tables to create the look

if you have anything specific in mind let me know - ill try and help u wih the code with what limited knowledhe i have

OK.  Maybe this will help.  I want to move the two game server block on the left side of the screen here (http://www.deadboneplatoon.com/smf/) to a "single" center block.   I don't think I can do it with html.

EDIT:  Now that I think about it, I think I can do it.  I can use a center HTML block and use the code there using, as you suggested, a table.  I will play around with that.  Thanks!

ur welcome

shouldnt be too tough at all

Code Select Expand



<table border=0><tr><td>
CODE FOR BLOCK 1
</td><td>
CODE FOR BLOCK 2
</td></tr></table>



Just remember one thing though...if its a PHP block (the server blocks)

the the table would have to be echoed out like so:

Code Select Expand



echo'
<table border=0><tr><td>';
CODE FOR BLOCK 1
echo'</td><td>';
CODE FOR BLOCK 2
echo'</td></tr></table>';

Don't let Aku fool you clip, his knowledge is not as limited as he eludes to.
You'll find him to be an extremely helpful person.

Actually, a center block will not work, since I have a forum and articles inabled.  I put it into an article, but the BBCode showed.  I was able to do it without tabling, I just need to work on it.  Thanks, again!

ur welcome - anytime u need help just say and dont be shy

Also if ur using articles there is a button marked < > press that to change over to HTML, using html may prove to be more useful since it supports a lot more customization than BB codes

Thanks.  That is what I was planning to do.  Drag out dreamweaver and wizzywig it then paste the html.
