   I'm working with Tree Menu Magic 3 and saw in the docs:

   "The menu width will automatically adapt to its location, even when placed inside flexible DIVs or table cells."

   So I can place menus in either table cells or DIVs. My knowledge of these things is rough at best, but I was under the impression that tables aren't being used as much these days, and I should use a DIV instead.
   I'll research how to position DIVs in a template, but noticed that it's pretty easy to insert a menu into a table cell.

   Is there any reason that I should *not*use a table?

   There's no real reason not to use a table but then again, there's no need to introduce one.

   So supposing it were the http://www.goochvision.com/ page/s where you wanted to replace the simple menu in the sidebar's content div, just remove the ul around line# 49 in the code, this bit (I like to do this in code or split code/design view)....

   <ul class="menuside">
   <li><a href="../index.html">Home</a></li>
   <li><a href="portfolio.html">Portfolio</a></li>
   <li><a href="résumé.html">Résumé</a></li>
   <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
   <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
   </ul>

   ..... and in it's place, place the TMM3 menu.

   Thanks for the reply, I'll experiment with that.

   My goal is to create a new template that still has the main horizontal menu where it is, but I want to add a new vertical menu to the left side of the page below that, that will have links to different pages of an article.

   I *think* what I would need is to have two DIVs, one to hold the new vertical menu on the left side of the page, and a new DIV to the right of the menu that will be editable content for the article pages.

   I can figure out how I would do that with a table, but I should probably use DIVs positioned where I want them. (I think).

   Your site is based on PBM2, if I understand correctly, maybe you could use layout 06 as a starting point.....

   That's a good idea, maybe I can use that layout for that page.
   Will give it a try.

   Thanks
