Assessment on how to ...

[eluser]Ryann[/eluser]
im creating a layout that has 2 columns for the body (no problem with the header and footer).
my question is, how to load 2 views within the 2 columns respectively.

my idea is like choosing a menu on the left side then the content on the right side changes.. im a starter in CI so i cant do the simple problem of including menu (left side) and content (right side)

when i load my 2 views in my controller it just messed up with my table layout..
its like stacking up depending on how i load the views.

thanks

another thing, do i have to put the views into a public array in the controller? so when i load the view i'll just call the array variable?

Have you tried loading a view from a view?

Take a look at the way I do it with Message:4

You mentioned stacking of the partial views so I think your problem is with HTML/CSS
 
Try this in your view

Code:

...
   ...
   ...
  
    <div style='clear:both; width:90%; margin:1em auto; border:dotted'>

      <div style='width:12%; float:left; border:dotted'>
        <br />This is where your menu goes
        <br />menu item : 1  
        <br />menu item : 2  
        <br />menu item : 3  
        <br />menu item : 4
     </div>
  
      <div style='width:80%; float:right; border:dotted'>
        &lt;?= $content ?&gt;
      </div>

    </div>  
   ...
   ...
