If you could email me the image used for the background, I can make it so you can have the background you want? No charge..after all...us UK-ians need to stick together (thrownouttahell{at}gmail{dot}com) _____________________________ (in reply to flowers)

flowers Posts: 54 Joined: 9/21/2004 From: uk Status: offline	RE: borders - 11/25/2004 5:42:38 Thanks for the above links , I got a week off, from work next week and I am going to do some serious studying of it, 2 questions, is it possible to do a table , with another table inside, I have seen spacers being mentioned time and time again, I understand why they are used, but will you use them with table or inserting shape thing with frontpage.

Giomanach Posts: 6128 Joined: 11/19/2003 From: England Status: offline	RE: borders - 11/25/2004 7:33:16 That's how I did it I created three tables, and gave the body a margin of 4. I added padding to the table cells, and nested the three tables together: <table> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td> <table> <tr> <td> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> </td> </tr> </table> Then if you look at the CSS in the <head> section of the template I gave you, you will see padding: 20px; or something close to that....it's all simple really.... _____________________________ (in reply to flowers)

Nigel Posts: 383 Joined: 7/24/2002 From: Wirral - UK Status: offline	RE: borders - 11/25/2004 15:03:21 Nesting tables is very common and easy. It just means a table inside a table - so you create a table click inside it and create another table - thats it - nested table. Very common in many sites to control layout.
