I’m sorry if this seems like such a simple… really… really newbie question, but I have tried all I know (which isn’t much) to solve this little problem. I have an image I want to use as a background, and then use tables on top of that image to organize some text and other images on top of the background image. PLEASE HELP!!! How do I do this. A friend of mine told me I can just put a table within a table… which I have tried but without success. Every time I try to do it, I get text either to the side of the image, or under the image. Can someone please send me an example of how this is done, or point me to a simple example of how this is done? Thanks so much for your patience and help.

[B]OK, thanks for the advice. I am using the CSS from Dreamweaver to place the background image. If anyone knows of a really good tutorial on using tables to place text over the background image, please forward me the URL.

[i]Originally posted by IncaWarrior [/i]netscape 4 + earlier + text based + audio braille. None of them will render a nested table right. If you want to use tables you have to style them with css and put them together in such a way that it will linearize. This would probably mean using a list for the links because it would not mix with center content. Thats what I would do at least If I used a table.
[B]no one uses netscape 4 and anyone who couldn't see the nested tables wouldn't see the pictures either so it doesn't really matter from that perspective.
The only reason i would go with css and other methods is that it makes the code neater and easier to work with (even if it is a bit longer in some places) [/B][/QUOTE]

[B]Thanks for your suggestions... but man oh man am I having a difficult time formatting this thing. Maybe I should create two different tables because of the different locations of the different menus.
Any further advice is appreciated. [/B][/QUOTE]
Posting code, or links to the site tends to do wonders.[/QUOTE]

[B]Sure man, go ahead... I talked with my business partners, and they said it's cool. [/B][/QUOTE]
the blue gradient at the top is supposed to come down to below the few icons at the top[/QUOTE]Move the little clear:both div up under the </ul> and put a &nbsp; in it.
I am attepting to make some of the text on the page bold. I have tried both the <b></b> and <strong></strong> tags, but it seems that neither of them works... So, I assume that something in the CSS is controlling the text. Can you please tell me how I can make "some" of the text in the pages bold?[/QUOTE]
My next question is, how can I change the color of links when the person mouses over the link, and then to have it be an even different color once a link is visited?[/QUOTE]
