I'm making a site and using tables with border 2 and i need to make the top section have a banner and then two smaller things on the side and wide one in the middle.. I hope you understand what i mean.... and can help me

im not sure what you mean, using html editors such as FrontPage can help, or perhaps draw you desired table in an image editor and post it with your messge,

keep smiling

Did you take a look at the site (http://www.lissaexplains.com/table.shtml)? It give variations of what you're asking for :)

And I tried that <td width=150> and shortened where the text could go but the border still extended off to the side.


This is what I want:

Eeps... geocities doesn't allow direct-linking of images.... o.O

What's the code you're using?

since that pictue isnt loading, i want it to look something like this: http://www.geocities.com/awoefed2002/
<center>
<table border="2" bordercolor=#FFFFFF>
<tr>
<td><img src=jeffbanner.jpg></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=left width=150><center><i>Updates will be posted here when they become available</i></center></td>
</tr>
</table>

Do you want it to fill the entire page? If not, just remove "width=100% height=100%" and put your own numbers :).

If you want all the text in a column to be centered, it's easier to just put "align=center" inside the <td> tag, than <center></center> everywhere ;).

Also, if you don't want the three column to be exactly the same size, you'll have to specify sizes for them... or percents.

<table border="2" bordercolor=#FFFFFF cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 align=center width=100% height=100%>

<tr>
<td align=center valign=center colspan=3><img src="jeffbanner.jpg"></td>
</tr>

<tr>

<td align=center>
<i>Updates will be posted here when they become available</i>
</td>
<td align=center>
<i>Updates will be posted here when they become available</i>
</td>
<td align=center>
<i>Updates will be posted here when they become available</i>
</td>

</tr>

</table>

Something like this to start off (referring to your table picture)...

<table width="100%" border="1"><tr><td colspan="3">
put banner code here.
</td></tr><tr><td width="25%" valign="top">
left side links here
</td><td valign="top">
main area stuff here
</td><td width="25%" valign="top">
right side links here
</td></tr></table>
