<br />
until my eyeballs are about to pop out of their sockets! <br />
<br />
The table in the middle is not lining up, but all the rest of them are. I've looked at EVERY bit of code, checked ALL my image sizes, and it's still doing it. <br />
<br />
Can someone pleeeeeeaaaase look at the source code and tell me if they see anything???? I'm begging you! <br />
<br />
T<!--content-->Table in the middle?<br />
<br />
It looks fine here on 1024x768<br />
<br />
I dont see what the problem is.<br />
<br />
<br />
I like the site layout though:D<!--content-->Is this what you mean?<!--content-->change this<br />
<br />
<iframe id="upcontent" src=http://www.htmlforums.com/archive/index.php/"meabout.html" width=341 height=302 marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" hspace="0" vspace="0" frameborder="0" scrolling=no></iframe><br />

<br />
That will take care of that black line! <br />
;) <br />
<br />
Also you might want to check the errors (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thedarknightofthesoul.com%2Fme_content.html">http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http% ... ntent.html</a><!-- m -->) you have when validating the site. Most of them are minor thing. One in particular stood out though<br />
<br />
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="left" valign="top" width="800" height="600"><br />
<br />
There is no valign attribut for the table tag!<br />
<br />
HTH and have fun!<!--content-->I never saw THAT black line! The black line I've been seeing is to the right of the white buttons in the middle!<br />
<br />
I'll try adjusting the image size...<br />
<br />
I don't understand why I keep getting that silly validation error, when ever HTML "how-to" site recommends using the VALIGN tag?<br />
<br />
Weird.<br />
Thanks<!--content-->valign tag goes in the cell not the table, but it still should work if you use it in the table. also it looks ok to me too on 800x600<!--content-->I think I've pretty much figured out that this is a weird macintosh thing....<br />
<br />
But, now my big question is...what is a good way to avoid using all these tables in the first place! My real talent lies with visual content (intended graphic art major) and I just don't KNOW how to design pages that aren't this visually intense, therefore requiring all the tables.<!--content-->you can go the way of css but then you limit your users. other than that there is no other way.<!--content-->Can I use CSS to lay out the images? I had no idea....<!--content-->well sort of. you can use css and div tags to make a table and then your images as usual.<!--content-->Know of any good tutorials where I can learn how to do this? <br />
<br />
*I'm really old skool, so, while it makes sense to me, I'll reallllly fudge it up!!!*<!--content-->There's this one on alistapart.com (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.alistapart.com">http://www.alistapart.com</a><!-- m -->)<br />
<br />
As well as glish.com (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.glish.com">http://www.glish.com</a><!-- m -->) and bluerobot.com (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.bluerobot.com">http://www.bluerobot.com</a><!-- m -->)<br />

Have fun!<!--content-->
