Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I hope someone can help me figure out how to create a table within a table within a table for my webpage. Here's an example of the look I am going for. <br />

I'm a total newbie and have been reading information on tables but can't seem to find information on the look I want. I just want the outline of how to get each box set up, commands to place pictures and some words, and how to end it.<br />
<br />
Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />

The key is going to be to make sure you keep track of your cells as your coding the tables:<br />
<HTML><br />
<BODY><br />
<TABLE BORDER="3" CELLPADDING="3"><br />
<TR><br />
<TD><br />
<br />
<TABLE BORDER="3" CELLPADDING="3"><br />
<TR><br />
<TD><br />
<br />
<TABLE BORDER="3" CELLPADDING="3"><br />
<TR><br />
<TD><br />
Content here.<br />
</TD><br />
</TR><br />
</TABLE><br />
<br />
</TD><br />
</TR><br />
</TABLE><br />
<br />
</TD><br />
</TR><br />
</TABLE><br />
</BODY><br />
</HTML><br />
<br />
Just remember to put your next table inside the <TD></TD> statement. That what places the table within the cell. That should get you started!<!--content-->Originally posted by Heavy <br />

Please understand, my friend, this member's post describes herself/himself as "Brand New", a "total newbie" and "just wants the outline for getting the box set up."<br />
<br />
After viewing the code on the referenced site, a quick and painless solution has been provided.<br />
<br />
I'm happy to help in any small way I can.

Don't get so serious, man. It's just a big pink web page full of cat photos.<br />
<br />
Or maybe it would be possible for you to provide Meowsnpurrs some CSS code to get this newbie on the right path? I'd pocket that knowledge as well.<!--content-->Originally posted by Heavy <br />

As I stated a number of times: CSS design starts with the semantically meaningful content.<br />

I read your post regarding CSS design and I agree with your philosophy. My company shares that philosophy of ensuring our sites can be viewed consistently by a large audience and that respect for site content is held above the image frosting. Our shop uses php3 for programming, so I develop design templates for the page layouts. This is done first in HTML and variables are inserted by the programming staff when the client approves the design.<br />
<br />
Some CSS is incorporated, depending on the size of the site in development. Generally though, the backbone is HTML, which works great for our clients. These are clients whose anticipated audience is exclusively in a desktop environment.<!--content-->Thank you both for your input and coding to get me started. I used what Heavy gave me to start, but it's coming up as a small set of 3 boxes inside one another on the top left of my screen...I got some content in the middle box where it belongs. I want to put backgrounds for each layer, how do I achieve that and also make each one a percentage of the page, and where does it go in the html?<br />
<br />
Thanks again,<br />

Set background colors as bgcolor="#123456" If you go to the site you referenced in your very first post here, you can "view source" and see what codes were used to get those colors.<br />
<br />
That needs to be included in the <TD> statement or <TABLE> statement. You'll also need WIDTH and HEIGHT variables in those statements to get the dimensions you're looking for.<br />

Yeah, and last I checked the proper use of HTML is to define content, not presentation...
