Portal Template

[Inetbiz]

footer.tpl controls content on the right side in portal in the light blue area. If I want a copyright, tos, privacy row shown on every page at the bottom, how would I go about creating an extra row that shows white on the left and the blue retangle on the right and put my stuff at the bottom of the white area on the left? :

Here's what I tried:

 <p class="header">{$LANG.knowledgebasesearch}</p>
<form method="post" action="knowledgebase.php?action=search">
 <p>
   <input name="search" type="text" size="25" /><br />
   <select name="searchin">
     <option value="Knowledgebase">{$LANG.knowledgebasetitle}</option>
     <option value="Downloads">{$LANG.downloadstitle}</option>
   </select> 
   <input type="submit" value="{$LANG.go}" />
 </p>
</form>
{/if}
 </div>
 <div class="clear"></div>

<table>
   <tr>
       <td>cell 1</td>
       <td><div id = "side_menu">cell 2</div></td>
   </tr>
</table>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-xxxxxxx");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>
</body>
</html>

ok it's getting there. I can see both cells on the right.

I want the new table at the bottom to make a blank cell on the right of the webpages with a blank side_menu style cell.
