Hi,

I know how to 'draw' the basic lines of a table and how to divide cells and stuff, but how can I create a table inside an existing table with a different color or different border?

Thanks!

It's called "nesting", you place the table inside a TD element of another table.


<table>
<tr>
<td>
<table>
...
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<body>

<table>
<tr>
<td>
Blah Blah Blah Blah....Blah BlahBlah BlahBlah Blah...Blah BlahBlah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah BlahBlah Blah Blah Blah.

And how do I put an image in? Ive tried it this way, but then the Image doesn't want to center (align), and when I make it absolute it jumps all over the place...

<img src="someoldthing.jpg" style="display:block; text-align: center;">

does the <style: display="block"> tag insert also work for other things than images? Is it possible to lock the position of everything on your site (like tables) this way?

Thanks for the quick responses, it helped!

Yes you can use the STYLES to position pretty much every thing

say u have an image u want 200px from the top!


<img src="image.jpg" style="top:200px;">

same for tables

<table style="top:200px; left:100;">
<tr><td>Blah Blah Blah...</td></tr>
</table>



same thing for bottom left and right to learn more about STYLE click on the following link!http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/visuren.html#positioning-scheme
