Hi, i really enjoy playing Role Playing games and would really like it if someone could help me with my tables.

I would LOVE to know how to get a table to show up on a background picture, but in one area. When ever *I* do it the table with the writing appears in one corner, and not in the middle or where ever I want it.

There MUST be a way to do this because I've seen people better with HTML than me do it, and I would DIE to know how to make my tables go where I want them.

May I also thank Lissa for having this site? Before I came here, i was using Expage! I had just started my first Geocities website, using Yahoo Help and Webmonkey. Now I can use CSS (haltingly, I admit) do tables (patheticaly, but they DO work!) marquees, and so much for! **THANK YOU!!!** You are the best and I have told all my friends about you're AMAZING site!

I agree, it's a great site :D

Is there an example of what you're asking... it's kinda vague.

Yeah, sorry! I just didn't have time to post an example. Okay, here is what I do.

<table border="3" bordercolor="#000000>
<tr>
<td background="http://community.webshots.com/image2/4/48/38/43944838JzyPZV_ph.jpg">and i have some writing and stuff here, all about what my character is doing</td>
</tr>
</table>

Okay, is that how you put in a background? :( I'm always a little confused. Now, the actual picture is

http://community.webshots.com/image2/4/48/38/43944838JzyPZV_ph.jpg

and when i do my writing i want it...on the right hand side, centerm above the black hills in the red. but I have no idea HOW to get my table/writing to appear there. DO I actually use a table or an text area thing? It just accured to me...anyway, this is a little confusing I know but I don't really know how to explain it...

It's a dead link >.< Webshots doesn't allow direct-linking to pictures.

Yup, that's how you put a background into a cell. Are you looking for absolute positioning though?

<img src="http://community.webshots.com/image2/4/48/38/43944838JzyPZV_ph.jpg">

<div style="position:absolute; top:#px; left:#px; width:#px; height:#px; border:3px solid; border-color:#000000">
TEXT
</div>

Just change the top and left values to position it wherever you want, and the width and height for its size.

I don't always use webshots. I only put that in because it was the closeest pic I had to use!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I'll try that ASAP!!!! Thank you VERY much!!!!
