I'm having a problem with my site. I'm close to done the template I want. I've got the includes all set up and they are working fine. But I would like the header, top menu, left menu and footer includes to show on my genealogy pages generated by RootsMagic. I'm fumbling through how to set that up. lol RM does have an advanced html header and footer options. But I'm pretty sure I'm entering the code wrong. My site is here http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kmills/ and the RM made pages are here http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kmills/surnames/surnames.htm The header doesn't load. The top menu does but as a list and no styling. Then two error messages. Footer also gives an error message. Any help is really appreciated! Thanks, Kim ----- No virus found in this message.

Hi Lorrie, It's the same site. The first link is the main page and it's fine. The second link with the surnames is what I'm working with now. I'm trying to get it to pick up the includes the main page is using.

Kim, I deleted your first message and am responding from memory.. As Pat stated, check the path of the includes in the "surnames" page. Since surnames is in a surnames folder, it's path will probably have a ../ before it to indicate that it is down one level in the root directory.

The style sheet is located here http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kmills/our-family-blue.css which is in the root directory for this particular web. http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~kmills/surnames/surnames.htm is looking for the style sheet in the same directory as the page Put the full path to the style sheet and see if that helps. Check the path you are using to call the includes that are not showing. See if this helps any http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~gearyfamily/server-side-includes.html If the page you want to insert the include is down one or two levels (folders) then you would need to add ../ for each level. pat

Hi Kim, How about you change the width of your banner? You have it in your css as width: 1000px; Try taking it out and have the height set at around height: 170px; Best wishes, Jill http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~glamorgan/
