Please help

Too much white or something, maybe open space. The left content boxes need to be valign to the top. And maybe use some CSS on the links?
Kochon
it's not yet finished at all, i just want to fix that little glitch 'til i continue and what you mean valign? i place the tag where?
P3D1G0
you need to vertically align it to the top
Kochon
and how?
Cspace
A v-align should sort that out somewhere, try adding valign="top". In the table code, I'm a bit rushed at the minute to do it but ill have a look soon.
Kochon
does not work... any other suggestions?

Since this is your first template, I understand you going with tables. But I would strongly suggest using CSS and div other than tables. If you start using CSS now then you will have little problem learning it later on.

Here is how you will solve your issue.

Find this part on your code
CODE
<td colspan="2"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr><td><!-- START OF NAVIGATION --><table width="200" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
              <tr>


Replace it with
CODE
   <td colspan="2"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr><td valign="top"><!-- START OF NAVIGATION --><table width="200" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
              <tr>


All I did was took the TD tag after your TABLE call out and told it to valign the entire content within that cell to align with the top. I attached your html file with the modified content.

also, now get your tables where they are the same length as your images. so they aren't smaller width then the image. it'll look better. do this to both the left and right side. middle content is fine.
Kochon
thanks for the advice, pal smile.gif

One advice is that, DO NOT enlarge the image, but rather have it repeat-x. By doing so, your layout will repeat the same image, save loading time and will make your layout flow a lot better. If you enlarge it, you will stretch it out and thereby the image will have those annoying pixel effect to it.
