What's What?  
General

Occassionally you may find the need to insert HTML div's or other elements into the source. There are several places you can do this all selected for different purposes. All insertion locations require you to write HTML, preferrably valid XHTML.

head, exit

Here you can enter code that will be inserted right before the close of the head of the HTML document. The head usually calls scripts, links to external style sheets, and other things of that nature. This comes before the body and should not be confused with the "header" which is inside the body and contains the site title. The head will not display any content on the site.

body,enter

Here you can insert HTML immediately after the start of the body after the opening <body> tag. Things inserted here can be placed anywhere on a site through absolute positioning though they won't be within the flow of the document.

This is useful if you have a fixed width site and want to insert something that will always appear right next to the side of your viewing window no matter how wide you make it.

div#header_content_footer_wrapper_2,enter

HTML inserted here will appear immediately after the start of the secondary wrapper and can be placed elsewhere through absolute positioning. This is useful if you want it positioned to the side relative to the fixed width wrapper.

div#main_menu,exit

HTML inserted here will be within the main links wrapper at the very end before the closing tag. This is useful if you definitely want your insertion to appear below the menu but can't put it after in the source due to clearing conflicts.

div#main_menu,after

HTML inserted here will go directly after the close of the main links wrapper. This is useful if you want it in the flow of the document, after the expanding main links, but don't want it inside the main links wrapper for whatever reason.

div#footer,exit

HTML inserted here will appear within the footer immediately before the closing tag. This is especially useful for designer who may want to build their credit and a links back to their site within the design itself.

General

The Main Links are the principal navigation in your website to other "pages" and arguable the most important part of your site. Depending on your layout they can appear in different places; some are horizontal and under the header, some are vertical and above the teasers, others are at the very top of the page, and some are split into horizontal and vertical groups.

The links can be split into two groups in the KarmaCMS main preferences by inserting the dashed line, "---". When they are split they are controlled by main links group 1 and main links group 2. The dashed line isn't inserted by default so all links are in group 1 unless you change that.

In every situation the main links are a variable height so a height should never be placed on them. Anything under this div should be able to move down naturally as the main links expand. Usually it is the flexible nature of the main links that throws designers not experienced with dynamic design for a loop.
