Thanks, guys! Now it's just the way I want it.

Please email me if you're interesting in a *special*
discount on a knife.

Much appreciated! You've SAVED an old girl's sanity here!

hugs!

cross-browser

Change marginwidth to marginwidth=20 in the BODY

Mike Fisher — Sat, 26 Aug 2000 17:08:42 +0000

This only works in IE, again. Netscape is just way behind the times.

EXAMPLE:
<img src="blah.jpg" style="margin-left:10px;">

All you need to do is just insert 'style="margin-left:10px;"' into anything, and that'll do it.

thanks, that worked. now one more ??

tiny — Sat, 26 Aug 2000 17:01:59 +0000

that did it, thanks.

Now, can you tell me ~ since I haven't yet learned
style sheets (I promise I will take the time after I return
from the inlaws in two weeks)....

How can I 'move' everything over off the left edge by say
10-20 pixels?

thanks again....

solution is here

It's a problem with columns spanning and not, etc. Tested with 'border=1' the problem shows up ... and the page here http://www.centennialcra.com/tiny3.htm does what you want (I think). View source, copy, enjoy

Stupid Netscape! Netscape over there doesn't want to work with me on this, so this only works for IE [I think.]

<!--End Knives Online Discounts Knifes (pulldown/date)--> 
   <table border="1" cellpadding="5" style="margin-left:10;">
  <tr><td width="125" valign=top bgcolor="white">

Another thing I noticed was this:

<!--End Bottom Text Code-->
<br>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

You closed out that table twice. Not good. Oh, and another thing you could do [if you don't want to use CSS for some reason] is this [again, only for IE]:

<!--End Knives Online Discounts Knifes (pulldown/date)--> 
   <table border="1" cellpadding="5" hspace="10">
  <tr><td width="125" valign=top bgcolor="white">

Thanks, but it didn't change...

I tried that just now, and it didn't change anything.

What I'd really like help with is giving the td with the black bg a left margin or something. and then making it a little wider, so that it lines up better with the cart, and then the rest of my page.

Hopefully this isn't too difficult, but I've been looking at it too long I think.

Appreciate any help....

And, although I can't give you a knife, I will definitely give you a good deal on one. The person that helps me get this page looking the way I want will get an additional discount.

thanks!

Do I get a knife for commenting?

generally creates wierd spacing. SO what I do is put it outside of tables.

You have one table that is the 'top' with:
'Knife Traders for Over 20 Years' and the nav on the right
then the logo and more nav.

Put the ouside of that table.

<body leftmargin="5" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" TEXT="black" LINK="#A1A1A1" VLINK="#808080">

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.safepay.net/cgi-bin/shop/cart.cgi?">
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="720">
....
<td bgcolor="white">
      <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=merchant VALUE="2kcut">
      <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=return VALUE="http://KnifeDealer.net">
      <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=purpose VALUE="look">
      <INPUT TYPE=IMAGE SRC="http://knifedealer.net/images/shop_cart.gif" width="31" height="29" NAME="Click here to view your cart or checkout" BORDER=0>
</td>
....
  </TR>
</table>
</FORM>
