well i have got my index page up, and it seems to work great. looks a bit wierd in 1024 X 768...but is still ok. its not what i envisioned, but i think it turned out pretty good...100% better than my old page. little more work and just a few images...only a few...i like the clean look, and i just might have a really nice page:)

thanx for all of your help, i couldnt have done it without ya:D

It's usually best to break your content up into several tables. Netscape has to load everything in the table before it can display any of it, so if you've got one big table it could take forever for anything to show up on the screen. With several it doesn't take as long.

Take a look at this site that I made with a tabled layout:

Look at the code - the HTML behind it is pretty simple. Feel free to save that HTML file and play with it. Try turning on the table borders - that will help you to see how it was layed out.

Thanx Justin:)

but im already lost...lol. just like a newbie:)

im lost on how many rows and columns i will need.

one question...do you all use ONE table or more than one?

i cant get anything to work right...ahhh...hehe.

im still going to work on it and maybe somthing will klik, but right now nothing goes where i want it. and my backgound is useless, so i guess im going to have to redesign my site...again:(

guess it could be worse though. i can try a few new techniques i have learned to make a cool border or sommthing maybe. oh well. i kind of have to be quick cause i have a web Site project due in just a few months.

thanx for all your help...but for now it looks like im just going to have to start learning all over.

back to work:)

Here's a small tip: If your page has the default margin height and width, then make the table 760px in width. But, if the table has no margins, make the table 780px in width. That's just something I would keep in mind when designing.

Alight...thanx!

im so glad i asked, i would have been doing it completely wrong forever:)

i know how to make a table and stuff, but i was wondering if there are any places in the net...anyone knows of that help give instruction on makeing a good table template? that way i dont have to mess around for days trying out too many different things..i could get a good basis on where to start. if you dont know any, no biggy...ill learn:)

thanx:)

Yeah, tables are best for scalable layouts. AFAIK layers (positionable div's) wont' do that.

thanx
