To say the very least, it's not working. The widths are all screwed up.

<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr><td colspan="2" width="100%" height="300px"></td></tr>
<tr><td cellwidth="65%">(content)</td><td
cellwidth="25%">(content)</td></tr></table>

what's not working ? because i don't see what's wrong with it....

I end up with a non-existant cell on the right and a HUGE left-hand cell

this is an screenshot of what i see in my browser when copy and pasted the code in notepad and saved it:

and this is the code that i used to preview it:

<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr><td colspan="2" width="100%" height="300px">bafdasfasdf</td></tr>
<tr><td cellwidth="65%">(content)</td><td
cellwidth="25%">(content)</td></tr></table>

i don't see it... i'm sorry...

It's okay, I think I've got that fixed. But I'm running into some other problem. My content ends up being halfway down the cell.

Here's the code, not sure if it'll help...
<table border="0" width="100%" height="2000px">
<tr><td colspan="2" cellwidth="100%" height="300px" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"></td></tr>
<tr><td style="border:2px solid #fffff;" cellwidth="70%" height="1700px">(content)</td><td
cellwidth="30%" cellheight="1700px">(content)

some things to fix:

the attributes should be width and height, not cellwidth and cellheight.
when using pixel values, you don't need the px after the number
you have one cell in the top row, and two in the bottom. I think what you want is to add colspan="2" to the <td> tag in the top row.

to fix the problem with content being in the middle: add valign="top" to the appropriate <td> tag(s) :)

I bow to the superior beings *bows* Much thanks *leaves offerings of cheese* :cheese:
