Ok, REALLY hard to explain so try to deal with me

I saw this thing on a site alojng time ago and I was stupid enough to not save it...
The site had differnt sections but it was NOT a blog. It was in squares and look exactly like it would blog, even though it wasnt...

ok so my ASCII skills arent that great but to give you a clearer vision of what i mean...ummm

very messed up but its the best i could do
so yeah, it was basically borderd and stuff....with a color filled heading and everything. I can't figure out if it was a table or not...so help me please

It could have just been done in simple tables...

http://www.lissaexplains.com/table.shtml

I know, but how would do it?

is this what you mean

<table border="1">
<tr bgcolor="#00FF00">
<td>heading</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>

Yup, that's basically it, though you will need to add more tags to make it look like having a header and stuff. Heres the same code you gave me but I added some codes that you will probably need (though obviously change the values to whatever you want).

<table border="1" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" WIDTH="300PX" HEIGHT="500PX">
<tr bgcolor="#00FF00">
<td HEIGHT="35PX">heading</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td VALIGN="TOP">stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>

ps...perhaps you might want to actually take a look at that link I gave you so you can learn how to do it so that you can do it on your own and make it as unique as you want it.

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="300PX" height="500PX">
<tr bgcolor="#00FF00">
<td height="35px">heading</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td valign="top">stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>

safe code is happy code :)

How is that safe code? I don't see any difference to what I put....

hes just changed some things to lowercase rather than uppercase, which is ONLY important for hardcore code validation, both codes work perfectly fine :)

I'm very intense with my coding... it's all generated from learning XHTML, where you're codes MUST be all in lowercase, closed, yadda yadda...

Ahhh I never use uppercase actually, I only put it in uppercase to show her which bits she would hafta add on..............

Btw starlet..what's hardcode code validation?

you know...now that I think of it, i couldve figured that out on my own. LOL thanks a bunch for helpin my trigger my memory!

hardcore code validation is when you use a w3.org validator to check your code and make sure it is complete, non-sloppy, lowercase, all attributes quoted, with all tags closed in one form or another, etc. I'm used to that, so that's why I get picky with the codes
