i want a layout that looks like like the one http://www.jloplatinum.com/ .. would that require tables? And , if so is there any sites you know that explains tables better than this one ? Because i don't get them !

Yeah, those look like tables :). There's html palace (http://www.htmlpalace.com), but if you don't understand, you should actually try them out - not just read.

yup tables or she used photoshop and dreamweaver
