Help w/ Tables

Hey... I need help with tables. Can anyone tell me how to make a table to look like this:

.----------------------------- .
|A bunch of useless words here|
|---------------.----------.---|
|One Image Here| More Pic |Pic|
|One Image Here| -------- |Pic|
|One Image Here| More Pic |Pic|
|One Image Here| -------- |Pic|
|One Image Here| More Pic |Pic|
|---------------'----------'--- |
|A bunch of useless words here|
|---------------.----------.---|
|One Image Here| More Pic |Pic|
|One Image Here| -------- |Pic|
|One Image Here| More Pic |Pic|
|One Image Here| -------- |Pic|
|One Image Here| More Pic |Pic|
'---------------'----------'----'

This is the best I can do with this, I hope you get the idea. It looked better when I lined it all up in EditPad.

I've figured out how to make the following part of the table, but not how to combine both with the "A bunch of useless words here" part. The code:

<TABLE border="1" width="300" height="300" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<TR><TD rowspan="3"><IMG src="nameofimage.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt=""></TD><TD><IMG src="nameofimage.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt=""></TD><TD rowspan="3"><IMG src="nameofimage.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt=""></TD></TR>
<TR><TD align="center" valign="middle"><FONT size=3>Text Here</FONT></TD></TR>
<TR><TD><IMG src="nameofimage.jpg" width="100" height="100" alt=""></TD></TR>
</TABLE>

Thanks to anyone who helps...
 
Is this what you were looking for??

<table width="300" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">
<tr>
<td colspan="2">useless words here</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">one image here</td>
<td>more pic</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>more pic</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>more pic</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">useless words here</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">one image here</td>
<td>more pic</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>more pic</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>more pic</td>
</tr>
</table>

If its not quite... let me know... I'll redo it....
 
Thanks for helping out. =)

It's getting there, but you left out an important part of it... the section with the "Pic" words. Can you please try again?
 
All you have to do is remove the breaks (<br>) you have between the 2 tables. I also noticed that one table had a border, while the other didn't. You might want to change that.

Hope this helps!
 
No, that's not what I meant. I purposely placed the same table twice and one with border to show you how I want it to be layed out. I was wondering if it's possible to connect the pics within each singular table, not between the two tables. Do you know how to do that?
 
I'm not sure if I know what you mean. In each table you want to make the images ("your visitor #" and "last updated") connect right? If this is the case you can just remove the row that is separating them, but somehow I don't think that is what you mean. Please explain...
 
Nope, that's not what I mean. I want the pics to get all connected, and not look like it's broken. There's a pic on the top and bottom of the space between the Last Updated: and the other pic on the right. I want it all to be joined up.

Whoops, I accidentally deleted it. :p Sorry! I'll upload it again now....


It's up now. See those two little blue bars out of place? That's what I want to be lined up.

Hey Lex,
Why are you still using notepad? Even experienced web builders(those that used to make site purely by typing out the codes) use WUSIWUG editors. It's faster, more economical, easier and you can see how the page looks. :)

As for your problem, why don't you just use programs like Frontpage, start a table with 8 rows and 3 columns. Then merge the cells here and there.

Hope this helps.

Exactly how many "experienced web builders" have you talked to about this? Because the ones I talked to about your post think you're nuts.
 
harry: Because, in my opinion, true HTML coders DON'T NEED the help of other applications or softwares, they type out the code by him/herself! Personally, I find Frontpage extremely confusing and difficult to use. BTW, name some WYSIWYG editors, I've never seen one, nor has anyone ever told me about them - neither did I care, 'cause I make my pages with EDITPAD, not Notepad...
 
I doubt any experienced HTML coder would want to use any of the WYSIWYG softwares...

Their functions are far too ...fixed... for any creativity and the code they generate are too messy for future editing.

Personally I don't think they are good for anything, I learned HTML in the ancient time when there were no WYSIWYG programs around, and believe me, HTML is not hard to learn at all.

Experienced coder might use HTML editing programs, because they have functions such as coloring HTML codes and instant preview that notepad doesn't have, but WYSIWYG? I don't think so...

But that's just what I think... I don't know too many other experienced coders and didn't have the chance to ask them what they think about the WYSIWYG editors
 
I launched my new site today, it has no real content yet, though. I'm having problems with lotsa stuff, like the table I mentioned here, and loads of CGI scripting errors.

Somebody please help me with the table:
http://dto.cjb.net/TableTEST.html

Can anyone go and see what's wrong with my Poll?
http://dto.cjb.net/Main2.html

Of course, if you want to check out my page, just remove the Main2.html from the URL, in case somebody doesn't know that. :)

P.S. Since I officially launched it today, I replaced the CGI counter on the Main page with a counter from some other host so that I can keep track of how many people has visited since the opening.

I'll second that... I would NEVER use a "WYSIWYG" editor! :(
 
Ok, now I see what you mean. As far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with the code for your tables. You need to adjust the height of your images and everything should be fine. If you still have trouble feel free to email me at meio34@yahoo.com
 
Hi all.
Well, hey it's just my opinion guys. :)

(With all due respect - really)I don't understand why you'd prefer typing out the codes purely? WUSIWUG editors also allow you to edit the source code in the program. :)

Sure, HTML is easy. But look at it this way, how many times do you have to switch to the browser to test? I mean with Frontpage, you can see the page how it looks directly. Dreamweaver also allows you to " "trace"(build your site)" over an image too. +, you can easily add style sheets and javascripts with ease. It also estimates the loading time of the page. :)

Such editors would be a great help esp. if you're merging a cut-up images in one using tables. :)

DW also have an advanced site manager. It can also view the site in frames.

Wouldn't that save lot's of time? ;-)

Hi Evianwater,
It all depends on your site design and layout. I'd try to use tables if I can. Layers have a absolute(fixed) settings for their positions which does not make them resize or reposition when a different resolution is used to view your site. Depending on your site design, this may not be a good thing at all.

Hope this helps.
