Forum:Problems with box start template

Hi, I'm having some problems with the Box Start template, on the Michael Jackson wikia. I'm trying to make a new homepage, but that template is not working perfectly. I haven't create that template so... The right side of the page, is at the buttom of the page and the images are not all in the template. Thanks, -- Darth Stefan Talk http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/lostpedia/nl/images/e/e5/Stefan_handtekening.PNG  15:41, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Main Page in construction page


 * Never use table templates. Instead of learning how wikitables work, which is very simple, you rely on someone else to have created a template, which you never know how acts. I redid the whole page to use the standard Wikia columns on w:c:michaeljackson:User:Ose/Sandbox. I suggest you use that as a base to add/rearrange/style the page. 17:10, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, but now I've encounterd another problem. I wanted to use a code, to create a box, but it doesn't work like it does on my other wiki's. It's all about this:

 * Read this. Use the main page column tags Wikia made to let you easily create a HTML/CSS-valid design and makes sure the box ad fits in too. Add all the content, and make sure it is located where it is supposed to be. Then use css to change colors and stuff. Trying to do both layout and design at once often gets confusing. Also, you need to make sure you avoid typos "div stlye?" and close all "style="s with a ";" (anyway you should be using css to add the styling. 21:12, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice link. Is usage of Divs a general design approach that wikia wants to evangelize more? If so then Wikia's help on tables should be revised to at least mention what the alternative (if not best) practice is for non tabular layouts.  If the recommendation to use Divs over tables mostly applies to sophisticated users manipulating skin features, then is there mention of it in the corresponding guidance docs?   21:58, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
