Try this for basics: http://www.westciv.com/style_master/academy/hands_on_tutorial/index.html

I found it was best to simply look at how people did specific things. Look at the different designs of the same site and see what does what then copy the files and alter until you get the feel for it...

is there a way to get a table to stretch all the way across the screen without manually setting the width? i tried the left attribute but that didn't work

so here's a question

<table class="pics">
<tr>
<td><a class="links1" href="X.jpg"><center><img class="pic" height=120px src="X.jpg"></center><br><br><p class="links1">X</p></a></td>
<td><a class="links1" href="Y"><center><img class="pic" height=120px src="Y"></center><br><br><p class="links1">Y</p></a></td>
</tr>
<tr><a class="links1" href="Z"><center><img class="pic" height=120px src="Z"></center><br><br><p class="links1">Z</p></a></tr>
<tr><a class="links1" href="Q"><center><img class="pic" height=100px src="Q"></center><br><br><p class="links1">Q</p></a></tr>
</table>


how come only X and Y will appear in the box with styles from "pics" and the other two appear outside of it with no styling?

tables != css.

stop using tables for positioning.

i'm using tables for a solid bar of color because the div doesn't work

div.redbar	{
background-color: #C60001;
position: absolute;
height: 24px;
top: 100px;
left: 0px;
width: 100%;
z-index: 2;
}


works fine in firefox but not IE so i had to resort to a different method

it works if you do it correctly. there's more than one way to do it and not every way will work across platforms. oh the joys of css.

without seeing the specific code, you might have to put a nbsp in the div to get it to show up.

.redbr {
background-color: #C60001;
position: absolute;
height: 24px;
width: 100%;
z-index: 2;
}

yeah that got rid of the need for the table, but it still doesn't extend all the way across the screen in IE

i think the problem is IE needs a width of 102% to be all the way across the screen and that causes scrolling in Firefox

IE gives the body tag a default margin of 8px or something. set it to 0 and it should take up the full line

background-image: url('textbg2.jpg');
