Whats your question ? you want border on the left hand side and not on top ?
Im guessing this is HTML related ?

I'm not sure what you're asking but either:
You mean you have a header and dont want to cut it up? or you want a gap (a margin)?
Are you working with tables or a more CSS oriented layout?
Show some code

I still don't get it, unless the "line" you are talking about is the bottom edge of the header?
Using tables:
Code: Select all
<table width="e;100%"e; cellpadding="e;0"e; cellspacing="e;0"e; border="e;0"e; cols="e;2"e;>
<tr>
<td height="e;80"e; colspan="e;2"e; bgcolor="e;lightblue"e;>Header here</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="e;20%"e; bgcolor="e;yellow"e;>Left column</td>
<td>Main panel</td>
</tr>
</table>
or using CSS:
Code: Select all
<div style="e;width:100%; height:80px; padding:0px; margin:0px; background-color:#5555FF"e;>Header here</div>
<div style="e;width:20%; padding:0px; margin:0px; background-color:#FFFF00; float:left"e;>Left column</div>
<div style="e;width:80%; padding:0px; margin:0px; float:right"e;>Main panel</div>
thanks
