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.

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 />

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

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.

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.
