If you are talking about a sidebar then add your call in the sidebar.php file,
add another div inside of your sid file and insert your php call. 


// Add your call here or just inside the "art-sidebar2 div!

<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/sid.php'); ?>     



<div class="art-sidebar2"> 

<?php if (!art_sidebar(2)): ?>

<div class="art-Block">


sid.php will look something like: 

<?php if( function_exists('where_is_sid')) {?>

    <div id="my-sid">

       <div class="inner">

           <? php where_is_sid(); ?>			

        </div>

    </div>

<?php } ?>


Then you will have css for my-sid 


.art-contentLayout  .my-sid

{

   position: relative;

   margin: 0px;

   padding: 0;

   border: 0;

   float: left;

  width: 195px;

   height: 250px

  overflow: hidden;

}


This is untested but may help

here is what i have so far

my sid.php file only has

<div class="vid-ad">
<?php echo stripslashes(get_option('artisteer_videoad')); ?>
</div>


already have css style to possition the video
but need to get a widget box around it.


without using a php include and just adding this

<div class="vid-ad">
<?php echo stripslashes(get_option('artisteer_videoad')); ?>
</div>

to the sidebar how would i add the widget box
around it..

thanks..

You need to style the Vid-Ad with the elements from your themes css.

look for /* begin Box, Block */

Add a comma space period like , .vid-ad where you think it is needed and your div will inherit the style:

example:
.art-Block

.art-Block, .vid-ad

If that does not help then look in functions.php at the art-sidebar code, this may help.

Thanks for all the help mate
i will be trying to sort this out over the next
few days...

but right now i made a simple work around

made a simple wp plugin with the

<div class="vid-ad">
<?php echo stripslashes(get_option('artisteer_videoad')); ?>
</div>

inside it and it works as needed
but will still be trying to work it into the actual theme
at some point using your help

thank you........
