Hey all.

I know exactly how I want my site's layout to look. And the way that I've designed it, it should be done with tables. (I don't want frames.) Problem is I can't quit figure out how to turn the layout into the proper tables code.

Here's what I want the tables to look like:

I almost had it figured out. I cropped the layout into two. The top part with the page header, the right part with the navigation meny on it, and then the part on the left (The big grey square) where all the content will go... That part won't be an image, it'll just be a a cell with a grey background and a black border around it. I had it coded as one table with three cells. But here's where I can't get it:

I want to put a black border just around the grey box, but when I put in the "<td border="1" bordercolor="#000000"> part nothing shows up. I don't want a border around the whole table, just that one cell. Is that possible?

Last thing... When I type the text into the grey box on the right (where all the content is supposed to go) the text appears right in the middle of the box. Can anyone tell me how to code it so the text starts at the top and not in the middle?

Sorry for the long post.

Thanks!

Urgh. Geocities ^^^^s. They won't show the image. So I moved it here:

Thanks. :)

To put the border around one cell,
<td style="border:1px solid #000000;">

To get the text at the top of the cell,
<td valign="top">

I like your layout. It's very well designed ^^
