Stylesheet Help Please!!

[cincybulldog5]

Hey All... I have pretty much mastered HTML but I CANNOT figure out stylesheets!! I have tried many times, for a long time!

I run a site for a baseball league, and I cant figure out the stylesheets to do the following:


Current Look: (View Source, this is how the data is uploaded every time)
http://sbl.awardspace.com/cinbox.htm

Desired Look: (same data, but in a table, and stylesheet)
http://thecbl.com/cbl_all_box.htm


Please let me know if you can help!!

Thanks in advance!!

Firstly to learn more about CSS dig through the documentation at W3Schools.
heres a link:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_table.asp

Secondly you html is quite messy, you will want to look in to XHTML. XHTML is not hard if you know html, it just standardises what you markup.
And again W3C school can help you there
http://www.w3schools.com/xhtml/default.asp

And finally you might wanna consider putting all the data in to tables.

Is there any way to transfer that data into a table?

Besides doing it manually.

I'm affraid not,
you need to knock it out once, and then just use that template afterwards.

you could build upon the example you gave at "thecbl.com".

I mean markup jacking isn't that bad aslong as you don't pass it off as your own.

Sorry i clicked post and then realised, you could use dreamweaver or another WYSIWYG tool to write all the mark up for you, you just need to copy and past all the infor in the correct place

Hey..

I was able to get the stylesheet from thecbl.com, so I have that part figured out..

I just need to figure out how to get my data to upload as a Table, instead of Regular Data..

I'm going to try WYSIWYG as one of you said.. Let me know if you guys know anything else, I'll try this though.


Thanks to all

I couldn't figure anything out with the dreamweaver..

I'm uploading these data files, example: http://sbl.awardspace.com/cinbox.htm

Is there any way I can convert them to a table?
Example: http://www.thecbl.com/cbl_all_box.htm


Like I said, I have the stylesheet.. I just need to figure out a way, so that when I upload them(every couple days) they will automatically be formatted as a table..


Any help is greatly appreciated guys!

My next suggestion is you write a content managemnet system that automatically formats it into a table from a database. But that seems sawy to complex for what you're trying to do.

My suggestion is master dreamweaver. (nobody likes new things, the name of this forum is an example).
