The graphics

The graphics side of the website is just as impotant as what you do with it..... you need to get a good mixture of colours that are easy on the eyes and you need to know of a good layout.

Tables are GOOOOOOOD

Tables are the best thing to learn on a website using tables allows you to not only make your work arganized but to allow you to change the information on it easily, you can use tables for alot of diferent things such as borders........... and i dont mean the silly 1px borders its set at.

HOW TO MAKE BORDERS

1.make a table that has 5 rows and 5 collums

2.merge the bottom row as 1 (so no collums)

3. merge the left and right COLLUMS together.

4.Have ur border image ready (this is usually 24x1 pixel)

5.Set the image as the colums background image

6. woooo thats 1

Aren't tables, BAAAAAAAAD?

CSS is a much cleaner way of doing things...

[passingthrough]

Although tables were used for layout in html, now CSS and XHTML exist it is a big no no (as mark has said).

Tables should only be used for tabular data, layout should be done with CSS

HOW TO MAKE BORDERS

1.make a table that has 5 rows and 5 collums

2.merge the bottom row as 1 (so no collums)

3. merge the left and right COLLUMS together.

4.Have ur border image ready (this is usually 24x1 pixel)

5.Set the image as the colums background image

6. woooo thats 1

Or just wrap it in a div and give its border value via CSS

IE:

CODE

<div id ="border">content</div>

CSS

CODE

#border {
border: 1px solid #000;
}

Much easier

Yeah for goodness sake don't be advising noobs to use tables when search engines hate them and give you less authority for them. CSS is the bizz. Learn CSS and use as little HTML as possible.
