So, I have made two columns and one row using FrontPage -- The first column has a list of links to all my individual pages throughout the site. The second column has the main content text as well as the 300 by 250 adsense inline rectangle.
However, I am having trouble getting the text to also be on the right side of the inline rectangle in this second column. I have text above and below the rectangle, but don't know how to put text on its right side.
So, I am thinking of putting the adsense code in its own column (and row?). Right now, I have set the first column to be 20 percent and the second to be 80 percent of the screen. This way, the page looks aesthetically pleasing and proportional irrespective of browser.
If I start messing with the Adsense code and putting it in its own column and row, I will set the width of this new column to some percentage (just like the above 20-80 percentage split between columns right now) -- but this might go against Adsense TOS.
Any easy way for me to go about this in the existing one row and two column layout?
Also, my links in the left column are not alligned correctly with the right column. They kind of move downwards and do not start from the top of the fist column for some reason (despite my not having any spaces in there). If I change the size of the column from 20 percent to 30 percent, they move down even more. Is there a way I can get them to start from the top of the page? I don't know why the size of this column impacts the position of the links like this.
Also, if anyone knows simple sites with good adsense layouts of these inline rectangles, please let me know without posting the link here in some way!
I already posted a similar message in the adsense board -- only to ask if changing the adsense rectangle size is against the TOS. Someone answered that it was against the TOS.
Thanks!
and for your Adsense to span both columns put a new row just before </table>
<tr><td colspan="2" align="center">adsense code </td></tr>
I do not need to close the td valign tag?
Also, I do not want the adsense ad to span two columns.
I just want it in the second column as it is, but I want to be able to have text above below and to its right side (the last of which I don't know how do to).
i.e,
Column 1 Column 2
Link 1 text text ...
Link 2 Adsense Box text text
Link 3 text text...
Link 4 text text...
Right now my links section starts where it says Link 2 above and hopefully it will move up once I use your tag. My main question is on how to get the text to the right side of the adsense box in column 2 if I want to keep it all in that column (inlcuding the box).
I just have one row and would also prefer not to increase that for the sake of simplicity.
Thanks again.
If you want Adsense in the second column AND have text to its right side you will have to work with 3 columns and more rows.
The rows of your widest column would be <td colspan="2"></td>
and the row with Adsense would be <td>Adsense</td><td>more text</td>
Having more rows does not make things more complicated.
While testing your lay-out give your table a border of more than 0 that makes it easier to see what you are doing. When finished set the border back to 0.
