Hi, I'm working on an audio equipment site.
I designed a fairly standard layout in photoshop, cut it up to use in dreamweaver, and ran into some troubles trying to put it together using tables. the tables never seem to go the size I want them too.. and they give me even more trouble when I try to include text and a bg image. they're always resizing themselves, going out of position, etc. :whip: :whip:
I'm fairly experienced with constructing flash sites, and some basic html, but these tables always throw me off.
Does anyone have some good online resources or tutorials for starting out with tables? I would appreciate any help.
PS i did some searches on yahoo and didnt come up with anything too helpfull, so that's why I'm asking here! |

| a quick fix would be to work with tables in frontpage then copy/paste the html code in dreamweaver... ;) |

| are tables easier to work with in frontpage? |
|
|
| ahlamalek |
| yes, they're more intuitive |
|
|
| k.k.d. |
better solution, don't use tables, use span positioning with CSS....
it renders much faster, has precise positioning control, etc etc...
Also, when you make a page, I recommend coding it by hand, and using WYSIWYG viewonly in extreme cases... :p |

| hehehe extreme methods kkd :p but in the real world you don't have the time to code by hand all the time:p |
