I am trying to keep the same look throughout my site, in which I have a menu for navigating to other parts of my site down the left side of the page. Can this be done in DBman?

I am also having trouble making the header and footer go to the edge of the page, it is starting about 10 pixels in from the left and right, is there a way of making this start in the very top right corner?

Yes, it is possible to do this with DBMan. It would be easiest if you switch to the user friendly mod so that you can keep all your formatting in a separate file (format.pl).

I use a side menu on most of my database and have provided an example in the FAQ under the section "Viewing" titled:

"Blending your db pages into your site"

I'm not sure why you would be getting extra spaces in the header and footer, perhaps it's the table width and whether that section is being centered?

Yes you can use a global in html.pl in the same manner as the default footer and then just include the menu in each of the pages you want it.


With CSS you could do something like:

BODY {
margin: 0px;
}
