Forum Subject: How do I remove items from the header?

I want to get rid of the search field, the date, and the logo. Apparently its not just as simple as deleting that stuff from the header.thtml file. But whenever I take out anything it destroys the layout of the page. So what do I have to do? Here is what my header.thtml looks like.

            cleared = 1
        } else {

There should be no problem with removing things from the header.thtml file. You have to be careful, though, to not break existing table layouts. The safest way to do this is to just delete the offending code within the <td> tags instead of deleting any of the table tags themselves.

Well I'm pretty sure that's what I'm doing, but for some reason it makes no difference. If I so much as remove the {datetime} code and nothing else, it screws up the entire layout. For example, below all I took out was the search field, the search button, and the date:

            cleared = 1

But for some reason the table structure is destroyed even though I don't think I touched any table code.

AH HA! By default I was using Dreamweaver to open the files and view the code and apparently that was bad mojo. I took a fresh file, opened it in Dreamweaver, then saved it without changing anything and it screwed up the layout. Ha...omg...

Lets see, Notepad works. Anyone know of any good little free programs to edit code with that also show line count?

There's a bunch of 'em..I personally like EditPlus a lot, and have used it for code for years. I also set it as my default text editor & source viewer...makes life fun.

It handles FTP, syntax highlighting, search & replace, spelling, html tags and colors with a click, cliptext for inserting common HTML tags and CSS bits, works in HTML, JS, PHP, etc, etc.

Also has templates and plugins for everything. Oh, and it does text too...

It isn't free, but it rocks.
