Hey, i'm designing a website as part of my media college course and was wondering whether someone would be able to help me out. This is my first attempt at web design, and this is what I have so far:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet type="text/css">
</head>
<body bgcolor="#E9E9E9"
<body>
<center>
<br><br>
<img border="0" src="image1site.jpg"></a><Table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="675"height="auto">
<tr valign="top"><br><br>
<td width="192"><p>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah</p>
<h3>Navigate</h3>
Link<br>
Link<br>
Link<br>
Link<br>
Link<br>
Link<br>
<h3>Extra</h3>
Link<br>
Link<br>
Link<br>
Link<br>
Link<br>
Link<br>
<br></td>
<td width="11"></td>
<td width="auto">
<h1>TITLE</h1>
<p>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah</p>
<p>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah</p>
<h2>NEWS</h2>
<div style="width: 463px; height: 250px; overflow: auto; padding: 5px; border-color:black; border-style:none; align=left">
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
blah<br>
</div>
</center>
<h2>HEADER</h2>
<p>blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah</p>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
As you can see i'm just trying to figure out where I want everything to go etc at the moment. My question is, how do I make the background of the entire text area white, without making the whole page background that colour from the image downwards? I'm finding it quite hard to describe, but i'm hoping someone will understand what I mean!
Thanks in advance!
