I've been working on my design all day. The last few hours I've been stuck on one problem. I've tried several different ways to accomplish what I want, but still no go. Whats weird is it looks PERFECT in admin, but not in customer. Its a problem with tables. My head is basically empty, and I got a some tables in my "rectangle_top.tpl", and the end tags in my "rectangle_bottom.tpl. What might be causing the problem is this, I got cells acting as borders to create a border around my store. The top area of the table is left white to keep it clear as I got another table above that does something else. Its a little difficult to explain. I'll try add some code to make it easier to understand.

Here is the top part. I removed some additional tables above this that wouldn't have any conflicts with this.

{* $Id: rectangle_top.tpl,v 1.7 2003/04/09 07:41:05 olga Exp $ *}
<div align="center">
<table width="770" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
    <td rowspan="2" width="2" bgcolor="#333366" background="{$ImagesDir}/dot_spacer_1.jpg"></td>
    <td width="766" bgcolor="white"></td>
    <td rowspan="2" width="2" bgcolor="#333366" background="{$ImagesDir}/dot_spacer_1.jpg"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td width="766" bgcolor="white">

and

Here is the bottom code.

{* $Id: rectangle_bottom.tpl,v 1.3 2003/04/09 07:41:05 olga Exp $ *}    
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td colspan="3" width="770" height="2" bgcolor="#333366"></td>
</tr>
</table>
{ include file="bottom.tpl" }
</div>

See anything that might explain why the "side" "borders/cells" won't appear in the customer area, but does appear in the admin?. I'm thinking the "side" "border/cells" should be included in a seperate file all together, but don't know which one(s), or how.

Any help would be great. I'm about to lose my mind! lol.
