I believe this is what we were discussing in your other topic.?However, I thought you had decided to use divs?

If you want to use a nested table to solve this puzzle, you will need to create a table 3 wide by 2 high.?The left 2 columns will have the rowspan attribute set to 2.?The left-most column will have your image in it.?The middle column will be a spacer so set this to the width you want in between the left and right columns and then the top right column would be your header and the bottom right would be your text.?For the bottom right cell use the CSS border to place a border around just this cell.?Then you would have done this with tables.

thank you for responce, what you said makes sence but i tried with the tables just like you said and my Image it tight against the left, dont look good is there anyway i could bring this table in 8px from the edge. ty

Hi SnakeEyez i've been messing around with tables and i am getting there just added another colmn to bring the image in from the edge.?Now as you seen at the link i provided i want a border around the whole box then another around the box which houses the text.?How do I ZAP all the other lines from appearing as borders, like everything im using as spacers.?I entered border=''0'' but never worked whem prieviewed.

Usually, an empty row/column in a table will collapse in a web browser.?I don't know if what was described provides a column to the left, so if there isn't one, add one.?A common way of control distances in tables is to use transparent gif images.?I have a 1x1px transparent gif image that I use for such purposes.?I just set the width/height values to resize it as needed in the page code.

IF you haven't, you might try creating tables in the design mode.?It's fairly easy to use the tools/menues to megre cells and select cells for inserting a new table within another.?Most commands are avvailable via a right click.

SnakeEyez i have been doing this kinda stuff for about a year and i have never had the probs that im getting now with tables, they are a nightmare.?Ive been at these for weeks now and it is mind numbing.?I now hhave the table the way i want but the bloody border is showing up everywere even the spacer colmns.?I have zeroed off the border and tried to apply individually through css but even selecting one span and css applys to all.
