Hey guys,

Calling all web designers out there for a bit of help.

Basically got a website/minisite that i am ready to add web copy too but i need to center the text on the page.

It has like a blue outline around the website and it is really tough to do.

How do you make a table start at a paticular point in the page?

If i start it from the leftmost side it does not line up correctly - or to make it easier if anyone wants to do this quick job for me i will pay them.

So my question is how can i specify for a table to start at a paticular point in the page.

Yes, you can start it anywhere (inside the body section).

And the well-kept secret, just for you: webpages can be designed without tables, too

  Thanks,
  
  To clarify - I need the table in the white content area but there is like a colored border around the white content area like a highlight effect and i need the text inside that.
  
  So is there anyway you can specify the start and end of the table and not just the size if you see what i mean?

  Actually, that's the problem with this kind of questions (without link, code, anything) - NO, I do NOT see what you see! That's why you will never get a specific answer.
  
  I don't know what is the HTML markup in your page; I don't know whether it uses inline style or stylesheet in the head section or stylesheet in a separate file. I don't know whether your "coloured border" is a background image or simple color border (html).
  
  Asking a good question is half success.
  
  Obviously, your table will start exactly where you put the opening <table> code. But I am afraid that's not what you really want to ask... Most likely you are interested in positioning a table.
  
  Just curiosity: if you already have already a well-defined content area, why on the earth do you need to mess with tables? (Tables are for tabular data, btw.)
  
  Thanks
