    Why don't you use blank sidebox mod instead the one for the header??

    You should arrange the code in a sidebox form. You can't just take a block of code that has a 700px width and drop it in a sidebox and expect it to rearrange itself. This is just an example but you should arrange the code based on a proper sidebox logic.

    I will give it a try using the blank as my template. The mod I am trying to get to the sidebox is this one - product finder

    This is where I get lost....
    I am not using any of the orig css for the product finder, so I was hoping the width wouldn't be an issue.

    being a newbie to php coding I have ask "one of those" questions...

    for the content of the sidebox I want to use php,
    so I would take this line of php code (for example):
    echo "<li>";
    and make it:
    $content .= 'echo "<li>"';
    or
    $content .= 'echo "<li>";';

    thx

    To add <li> to the output content variable, you would use

    $content .= '<li>';

    echo "<li>"; outputs the <li> to the page immediately, which is bad if the code hasn't sent the HTML <head> info yet.
