Width
Is there a way to set the width of the tags, e.g. " "? Thanks --Tingeltangelbob - (+blablahospital) 18:16, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, there is not. The purpose of these tags is to define a left (variable width) area, and a right (300px wide) area. If the box ads are enabled by our advertisement system, the 300x250 box ad will be inserted into the top of the page pushing everything down, or if it detects the column tags, it will put the ad inside the right column, so that only the contents of the right column slides down (not effecting anything in the left area. --Uberfuzzy 07:15, 13 March 2009 (UTC)
