I'm stuck! My HTML Tables won't align right

[miche002]

Heya I am trying to design a simple site. I would do it in css but don't have the time to learn and have spent too much time already trying to learn.

The link is my site control U to get the source.

Everything is aligned top in dreamweaver but for some reason when previewed/uploaded my tables shift. Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it! This has very frustrating!

Dreamweaver is not a Web browser.
Aside: Do you have an (x)html/css question that you have not already answered yourself?

yeah i know dreamweaver is not a web browser. i would appropriate answers and not questions. I already spend hours trying figure the solution. I'm a designer not a programmer. cheers

your demo lacks any css. it will use the browser defaults instead. and, er, too many tables.

You have no tabular data, consequently no tables are needed to structure the page. There is no need to re-invent the wheel using CSS. For example, this two column layout will work well for you cross-browser [1]. Adjust the widths to meet your need. Navigation is handled as a list. This list will wok for you [2].

Code to, and view your work in, Opera, Safari, and Firefox. Make frequent check backs to the non-compliant browsers-- IE/6 and IE/7. You can not rely on Dreamweaver's viewer to give an accurate picture of how the page will look on the Web.

Bring the page back to the forum as you encounter difficulties.

heya David, Thanks for the help for I don't understand " Navigation is handled as a list." Is that something I can find in Dreamwearver? I don't know how to hand code and use dreamweaver for building simple sites. If can't figure this out I think I will just create the nav in flash. But I really don't want to use too much flash. Thanks.

Cut the CSS and HTML from the list tutorial provided. Open your document in your editor and paste the CSS and HTML in it. You control your fate and destiny. Think of your editor as a simple tool, not your dictator or slave master.
