ok, i am really bad when it comes to these tables. i wanted to have my layout appear on every one of my pages with the text below the picture and to the left of the navigation bar. is there a code i could use to do this? my page is www.feh.bravepages.com

Something like this? You can rearrange the table....

<table align="right" valign="top" width="738" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<font face="tahoma, arial" size="1">In the show, Sankon Tesusou is the attack Inuyasha uses with his claws. In Viz's version, it is called the "iron reber soul stealer" or something like that.</font>
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td width="434" valign="top" align="right"><img src="inu01l.jpg" alt="inul" height="270" width="434"></td>
<td width="304" height="361" valign="top"><img src="inu01r.jpg" alt="inur" title="InuYasha" width="304" height="361"></td>
</tr>

<tr>

<td valign="top">
<font face="verdana" size="4"><b>Navigation</b></font><br>

<i>07/08/03 Updates :)</i><br><br>Welcome to SANKON TETSUSOU! My name is Allison, your extremely new to html webmistress :) I didn't know how to make a layout, so I got a free one from Susabunny :) check out her site
<br><br>I've just started making this site, so the only links that are up so far are the "about me" section, the poll and guestbook. Hopefully when i get the hang of this html stuff i can finish the other pages sooner :)
