Side Border Tags
Setting up pages with the images on the sides is a actually pretty easy - You need to concentrate on what your are doing though ;) But that is pretty well the case with HTML to begin with .. Here's the coding that you will use ...
<![CDATA[
<table width=100%>
<tr>
<td width=15%></td>
<td>
Put your page contents here ....
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
]]>
The first tag - table width is set at 100% so that you cover a person's monitor no matter what resolution they are using .. Some people suggest setting the table width at 600 - but if a person has their monitor at 1024 pixels wide, then over 400 pixels are leaving an very large empty space at the side of the their monitor. I suggest while setting up your page - you also include a border tag in here - that way you can see where everything is going just in case it doesn't line up right - in most cases - it's because you have a double tag or didn't close one properly.
The tr tag is the line tag .. you use that tag to designate when it is time to start a new line ..
The next tag (cell attribute) - td - is what you use to keep the text off your borders .. I set mine for around 15% - That seems to keep it comfortably off the borders for even Internet Explorer (which tends to want a bit more space for some reason). You must of course close the td tag as well - Internet Explorer really doesn't like to have open tags .. with this tag you also can use the align="middle" valign="center" - those are to center the cells contents horizontally and vertically. You start your next 'cell' content with another td tag ...
After that you put the body of your page ....
The next three tags merely close what tags you've opened further on at the top of your page ...
I hope this helps .. if I can help with this any better - please contact me ;).
