Ok so Im trying to design this site, I've made it as a table because thats the way I was taught, starting to think it's not the best move. Unforunatley I dont have any webspace I can upload them to but I'll happily email the files if anyone wants to be kind :D

So the problem is this, some pages have a lot of text in them and some are just the navigational links. The pages with text in them all appear lower down on the screen, as in everything is offset by a few pixels at the top as apposed to the ones without text in. Anyone know whats going on here?
 
If you e-mail the site to me (e-mail in trust) or better still zip it up and put it on somewhere like rapidshare I will have a look. In future though I would probably use <div>...</div> and css as that is much more flexible than tables. (It's a hard jump to make though, I was also bought up on tables)
 
Don't use tables. I was taught to use tables, but that doesn't make it okay ;)

Tables are for data, CSS is for layouts!
 
fortunatly i was told from the very beginning of my introduction to web design that tables are now considered bad practise and as said, wrap your content in divs with relevent id's and style them using a CSS, its powerful stuff :)

AMEN!

i remember when my tutor at college about four years ago told me that people are starting to design websites without the use of tables, and i actually laughed at him, deemed it to be impossible, oh how naive i was!
 
If you want to email me the website in a folder, I can stick it up on my hosting for you for a wee while to play around with if you want?.

My email is in my trust. :cool:
