I'm trying to make a table, with an image in the background. Here is how the table should be laid out:<br />
<br />
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v96/saraistarr/coding.jpg">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v96/s ... coding.jpg</a><!-- m --> Note about image: if your browser automatically fits it to the size of the screen, hit "expand to regular size" <br />
<br />
But it's not working on my site (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://freewebs.com/sarahzone/index2.htm">http://freewebs.com/sarahzone/index2.htm</a><!-- m -->). This is the code I have currently: <br />
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="571" width="755" background="inside.jpg"><br />
<br />
<tr><td width="755" height="100" colspan="3"> </td></tr><br />
<br />
<tr><td width="200" height="381"> </td><br />
<br />
<td width="272" height="381"><div style="width: 272; height: 381; overflow: auto; font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: #000000;><br><div style="padding: 0px;"><br />
<br />
THIS IS WHERE ALL YOUR SPIFFY TEXT GOES. jasdflmvM:vg;v fdhvi jdfajjposfj larknihbkn sanfhvjd cjick asmzsj vubjsmvibio mscuy k,sbnjvklx zlucyj<br />
<br />
<br></div></div></td><td width="755" height="90"></td></tr></table></div><br />
<br />
<br />
What am I doing wrong?<!--content-->From the HTML 4.01 Specification:<br />
Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content as this may present problems when rendering to non-visual media. Additionally, when used with graphics, these tables may force users to scroll horizontally to view a table designed on a system with a larger display. To minimize these problems, authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables.<br />

What am I doing wrong? If yo udidn't get Charles' drift ... it is using a table where you went wrong.<!--content-->It's a small personal site that won't get many visitors. I'd still like to use this layout, but I see your point.<!--content-->
