    Don't build a website using tables. Learn how to do it using DIV tags and make your website standards compliant.

    W3schools.org - xml php java html sql Resources and Information.This website is for sale!

    Visit that website above and learn HTML and CSS.

      So what you need is a lesson in CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

      Here is a link to the REAL W3 Schools: CSS Tutorial

      (Ryan, where on Earth did you get your link from? Thats just a dummy page full of affiliate links!!)

      Tables are not used to format sites, although there are zillions of examples where they do just that. Tables are for displaying tabular data. To position items you use a style sheet.

      The examples on W3 Schools (the real W3 Schools!) allow you to manipulate code in real time, which is a great way to learn. Highly recommended.

    Thanks guy, it is really great article. There I was just reading following code:
    h1 {text-align:center;}
    p.date {text-align:right;}
    p.main {text-align:justify;}

    What is P here?

    I think its better to use CSS with DIV so as to make a virtual table kind of thing. Its definitely not recommended these days to create tables. Tables are hard to manage. You can easily get the code for doing it, simply search for Replacing Tables with CSS for Page Layout and you will find it easily.

    p.date {text-align:right;}

    Frontpage is the anti-christ of web design. Use Dreamweaver.
