Page Layout

There are a few MHC Web page layouts (pre-2006) to choose for your pages. We recommended that you review these options and choose a page layout before your begin to develop or redevelop your site, because you will need that information when you complete the Document Interface Wizard. The DI wizard is an online form that, when completed, provides the HTML code needed to obtain the pre-fall 2005 MHC Web design.

Two Columns
Uused for most web pages. Local navigation is in column 1 and text is in column 2, MHC navigation and banner at top of page. MHC navigation at bottom is optional.

Three Columns
Commonly used for a home page. Same specs as described above with an additional third column, which is for commonly used for "News" or "Highlights".

One Column
Used for pages where information or an image is wider than 580 pixels, such as forms or for databases. The red lines on the right and left will not be included in the middle table and the table can be set to 100% to allow for a wider text area.

One Expandable Column
Used for pages where a wider area is needed for text or images. One expandable column is a good choice if you use forms, since any styles above it can become ragged as the edges get pushed out by text input fields.

No-Column
Used when you want to have the MHC navigation and footer only, allowing you to place items in between the top and the bottom. It is especially helpful when using forms or when the content area needs to be wider than 580 pixels.
