Need some input on this-it's breaking the side

Exactly The best way to learn is to see it in action and compared notes.

no problem

was just needing a colspan of 2 added to all of the single ones.

you were missing the code to make them not show if there was none - assumed that you wanted them there all of the time : used the vB permissive to say "None" if there were none. can just move the permissive if you wish.

the image to make them colpase was missing - added it back, they can be colapsed now.

have it on the vB default style here, will remove it later on :

used the code from the first post -- has the <!-- added to --> left in it, can be removed

Code:

Thank you...I was reading thru it to see where the part is about it not showing if there weren't any. That was a bit confusing too.

I'll be the first to admit, I'm NOT a coder. I have a good friend who helps me there. But he's gone for the weekend. Just when I decide to *monkey* with it, LOL. Besides, I feel like I impose on him and here, I can learn how to do it myself. Liz

not real hard i think - the way to read it to help might be :
spaced to prevent troubles
< if condition="$show['birthdays']"> vB knows if there are birthdays, the "="

and if there are it will do whats after this : "$ birthdays" or what ever else you happen to put there .

in the default it had the code to show the entire display and ended in "</if >" : which told it that was all .

but it knows <else / > too, so adding : <else / >None , it did this instead , and the </if > tells it thats all .

"if there are birthdays, display them, if not say none ."

lots of other things it knows -- just need to find them all myself -- still learning

if you need help on anything else ask -- enjoy doing this and its' how youll' learn -- dont' mind explaning things .

When I tried to leave the *if conditionals* in, I kept getting pars errors so I kept trying til I found a method that wouldn't break it.

Thanks, Santa, for your help. Liz

if they were left in and you get parse errors : most commom thing is the </if > is missing / in the wrong place ( a conditional thats used , and has part of it in it ) - guilty of it myself .

they all have to have a begining and an end to work properly. 3.5.4 is better than 3.5.3 at telling you, 3.5.3 will freeze up the editor, and increase server load till it times out .

have fooled 3.5.4 with them, but not too often -- the -- when validating for xhtml compliance have seen the </if > -- had to many of them and vB missed them
