Is their a simple way for a non programmer to make the c5 ad server block display as a static footer with a gray back ground that stretches the entire width?
I would try adding this to the appropriate place in your theme file. If it's a standard C5 theme, I would look in your theme folder's 'elements' folder and edit the footer.php file. This way it would display on all pages.
<style> #footer { position:fixed; left:0px; bottom:0px; height:50px; width:100%; background:#999; } </style> <div id="footer"> <?php $a=new GlobalArea('Ad Server'); $a->display(); ?>If this works, you should move the styling into your site's css file.
