Actually, db.apache.org was done with an older version of Maven. You can get that look and feel, using the <div/> approach, using maven.xdoc.theme=classic.
Note that the table style is definitely not a good way to be doing layout, and the web is moving much more towards (albeit slowly) CSS driven layout. You can customise with a whole new site.jsl as recommended, but also by just supplying an alternate stylesheet (preferred). The stylesheet could easily set the left nav to extend to 100% of the content. - Brett On 4/28/05, Jörg Schaible <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Daniel Frey wrote on Wednesday, April 27, 2005 4:42 PM: > > > Hello > > > > I am revising my sites css.
