for those of you unaware...
I'm completely incompetant when it comes to any sort of coding.

so... I'm making an effort to improve myself.
and I've already run into some probs....

I'm just laying out some simple tables.
I put it out on paper first... and now I'm workin in HomeSite.

At the moment this is what I have...

<BODY bgColor="Black" leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 rightmargin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0>
<TABLE width="1117" align="left">
<tr>
<td width=432><img src="031.jpg" width="432" height="19" alt="" border="0">
</td>
<td width=685><img src="032.jpg" width="685" height="19" alt="" border="0">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td ROWSPAN=2 width=432 valign="top">grey matter
</td>
<td width=685><img src="030.jpg" width="685" height="356" alt="" border="0">
</td>
</TABLE>
</BODY>

the problem is.... the second row isn't touching the top row. It creates a problem because I'm trying to line images that touch in the layout I have. It leaves like a 1 or 2 px break between the rows.
I tried setting cellspacing and padding to zero.... but that didn't seem to help either.
I tried setting borders to zero... and no difference there either.

a little guidence would be outstanding....

lemme know if I was unclear.... I'll try my best to clarify it.

well... i figure i might as well throw some more gasoline on the fire...
I'm still having the first problem...
and now...
I having a problem with another part...

<BODY bgColor="Black" leftmargin=0 topmargin=0 rightmargin=0 marginwidth=0 marginheight=0>
<TABLE width="1117" align="left" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
<tr>
<td width=432><img src="031.jpg" width="432" height="19" alt="" border="0">
</td>
<td width=685><img src="032.jpg" width="685" height="19" alt="" border="0">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td ROWSPAN=2 width=432 valign="top">grey matter
</td>
<td width=685><img src="030.jpg" width="685" height="356" alt="" border="0">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width=325 background="033.jpg">
</td>
<td width=286><img src="034.jpg" width="286" height="186" alt="" border="0">
</td>
<td width=288><img src="035.jpg" width="288" height="186" alt="" border="0">
</TABLE>
</BODY>

the part that I bolded..... it seems to repeat off to the right. and push the other two td's right out of the table.
Hrmph... this is extremely frustrating.
I've tried putting in COLSPAN's as well... mebbe I put them in the wrong place... but I still couldn't get it to work.

I'll keep pressing on...

your problem is, that you are using diferent numers of cells in your table rows. i have to know how your site looks like. if you could post a link to a screenshot, i can fix your table.

this is basically what I'm trying to do, but on a smaller scale.....
(colour per table)



does that help?

code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>taxon</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
<table bgcolor="#000000" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="1117">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#339900">1</td>
<td colspan="3" bgcolor="#33cc00">2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3" bgcolor="#cc0000">3</td>
<td colspan="3" bgcolor="#cc33ff">4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#6600ff">5</td>
<td bgcolor="#66ff00">6</td>
<td bgcolor="#ffff00">7</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

I'm guessing your problem was the missing cellpadding and cellspacing tags.

cheers,

Pete.
