I've recently been working on my site and was wondering how people make those tables like the ones here (http://www.blogger.com) (the blue ones with orange links in em) I've heard they just used CSS to put text over images. If that's the case, is there a way to make tables that look like that? Also I can't seem to get a text area to work. You know, the little boxes with a scroll bar to the side. And when I get them to work, when I try to post a blog entry it post it but also all of the code used to make blog entries so its a few hundred lines too long. Any idea how to code it so it post my blog in it like I would post it in a table?

Thanks to anyone who gives me help :)

It looks like that would just be a regular table, with a background colour set to it. All that is explained on the tables page. http://www.lissaexplains.com/tables.shtml

As for the textarea, they always show all the HTML inside of them so you should switch it for something else. The easiest way would be a scrolling div. http://www.lissaexplains.com/html7.shtml

My problem was placing the tables on top of each other and making them a certain size, but I think I'll actually just do a div for all my tables instead now. Thanks much for the help :)
