HTML Questions

I have been trying to figure this out for weeks, but can't find a damn thing that explains it. I just need to know how to create a seprate area like the pictures is below, one that will not be affected by surronding words, text etc... How is this done?



Taking from this site. I just want a seperate area or whatever for some kinda menu ya dig?

i don't get it? you just want to make sure there's empty space to the right of the text in the element? if that's what you want then add:

padding-right:25px;

to the style declaration for the element. obviously play around with the 25px bit, make it a percentage instead, that sort of thing.

Frames :icon32:

I don't know what to look for dude, if that was the case I would have googled it.

Well, whenever I try and make a menu over to the left and then try to add an image or something over on the right. The image goes below the menu instead of over to the right...

So is the above what I should try?

The code below is how my screenshot above was created. Is there anything special I need to do to create that, or can I use this as a guide?

Code: Select all

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3">
<tr>
<td width="137" class="content" valign="top"><br />
<a class="left" href="/default.asp" target="_top">
<img src="/images/homeicon.gif" border="0" alt="home" /></a>
<a class="left" href="/default.asp" target="_top">
<b>HOME</b></a>
<br /><br />
<b>HTML Basic</b><br />
<a class="left" target="_top" href="default.asp" >HTML HOME</a><br />
<a class="left" target="_top" href="html_www.asp" >HTML & WWW</a><br />
<a class="left" target="_top" href="html_intro.asp" >HTML Introduction</a><br />
<a class="left" target="_top" href="html_elements.asp" style='font-weight:bold;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;'>HTML Elements</a><br />
<a class="left" target="_top" href="html_primary.asp" >HTML Basic Tags</a><br />
<a class="left" target="_top" href="html_formatting.asp" >HTML Formatting</a><br />
<a class="left" target="_top" href="html_entities.asp" >HTML Entities</a><br />
<a class="left" target="_top" href="html_links.asp" >HTML Links</a><br />

Frames :icon32:

<frame src="">

puhlease

Dude, don't use frames or tables. Learn CSS properly and use floating divs.

[corpse]

I can see that CSS is good for many things, but when it's used to make a background image or something similar, I dont see the point.

It's easier to just make a background image using html.

cause its w3c valid

Better to learn it the right way from the start, than to learn it wrong and then re-learn when the wrong way doesn't work anymore.
