Well, Everythings working nicely. I'll soon have a web page up.....if I get time. I still have a ton to learn.
Heres a question. Whats this for:
I know it creates a space, but why not just use the spacebar?
I also Figured out Tables.
I was having fun with them and disided to look what kind of tables are on the CPA front page. I looked into the HTML, and changed all the Borders to 5. Then I loaded up the page.
I tell you that was one of the scaryest things I've ever seen.
I'm not sure my brain can process that kind of info, or keep track of it. But I'll try.
Now is the wallpaper just one Giant picture?
Another question, how do I change the color of the table borders?
Thanks a Ton

1) It came out blank on the screen but I think you are referring to the use of or the non-breaking space. All it really is is a symbol (which just happens to be an invisible space). I'm trying to remember the exact reasoning but:
When working with displayed text a browser sees any space between 2 characters or words as 1 space, no matter how many times you hit the Spacebar. I think this was decided on (by the forefathers of HTML) to make programming cleaner, it leaves less to chance. So when you want large than a single space you will need to use  
Example: You want 5 spaces between the 2 words dog and cat. You would code it as:
<font>dog cat</font>
Any time a browser sees characters within an amphersand & and a semicolon ; it is going to recognize it as a symbol.
The Trademark symbol is for example. Its worth getting a full list off of HTML Goodies.

2) A background image in a table is different from a standard picture insertion.
Here is a weird analogy: Think of an Table as an overhead view of your kitchen. The background image is the linoleum floor; You can see it has a pattern but it doesn't interfere with anything else in the kitchen, everything rests on top of it, it is a repeating pattern, and it stretches across the entire width and height of your Table er kitchen. Your stove is the image file, an actual object contained withing a certain area of your kitchen. In order for it to go where you want it to go, you have to organize around it.
To use a background image use:
<table background="file............gif"> It actually goes inside of the table tag and automatically repeats itself.
A standard image:
<img src="file:........gif" width="x" height="x"> A cell will automatically resize to make sure an image completely fits w/in its boundaries. Also the width and height are necessary but they do allow you to somewhat manipulate images in HTML.
---
3) border color is as simple as:
<table border="3" bordercolor="blue">
You can also specify any color in hexadecimal code which can recreate any one of 16.7 million colors. Examples: White= #FFFFFF Black = #000000 LightBlue= #CCCCFF.
NOTE: Border colors look very different from Internet Explorer to Navigator (I think 6.0 was the first time it could display border color)

Thanks for all the help.
I've been trying to think of a real good way to organise my data on the sorce sheet. You know, alot of spaces, tabbing in the tables within the tables.
Then when I was looking at the sorce of www.chemfinder.com I found that they had all the commands <HTML> Blue, and other neatly color coded separations.
Is there anyway I could do that?
Thanks

Color HTML code really depends on the editor you are using. If the code is opened in Notepad or Wordpad (on PC) its going to come out as all black. However, editors such as Dreamweaver, Frontpage and BBEdit do color separate the code to make it much easier to work on and recognize problems.
Even if you could specify colors, it'd be a pain to change the code color every time you create new code. The editors automate that coloration, might as well take advantage of it.

I actualy have dreamweaver, but don't know how to use it yet.
Anyway, I have my first attempt of a webpage now at:
www.angelfire.com/retro/sfbmagic
The banner at the top is a bit bothersome, but it's not that bad.....at least if it doesn't start poping up windows.
If you guys have any ideas on how to make it better, and anyway to better organise the script (everytime I look at it I forget what I'm doing. ) Then feal free to E-mail me. That submit thingie at the bottom should work.
Thanks
