<DIV ID="blahblah"> in template causes tags not to work

[Jak]

I'm creating a template with DIV tags instead of tables, and I ran into a problem.

In my template.html I have the following:

Code Select Expand

<div id="leftside"><p>{SYS_MENU}<br />{SUB_MENU}</p></div>

When this is onscreen I don't see the menu, I see:

Code Select Expand

{SYS_MENU}
{SUB_MENU}

The CSS for the "leftside" id is:

Code Select Expand

div#leftside{float:left;width:124px;margin-left:-750px}

If I put the menu tags anywhere else in the template they work fine.  Any ideas?

The theme's not done!  The site's not live! heh

if your custom theme can't be previewed online, then zip your local dev copy and attach it to your posting. Wrapping the menu tokens into a div container won't break them, but putting them after the {GALLERY} token will.
