Barry, Just contain a table within another table and adjust the 'cellspadding' and 'cellspacing' and bgcolors to get the desired effect:
<!--a table within another table to create a pretty little box--> <table bgcolor="000000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1"> <tr> <td> <!--begin inner table--> <table bgcolor="ffffff" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="center" bgcolor="grey"> I'm a table within another table! </td> </tr> </table> <!--end inner table--> </td> </tr> </table> Pate this into an editor and play around with it. bal ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barry Rumsey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2002 10:26 PM Subject: [PHP-DB] How are site layout blocks made I'll ask this question again but in a different way. In these php news portals like phpnuke, myphpnuke, they lay their site out in these so called blocks.I'm looking for information on how these blocks are made, are they done in php or html and where can I find more information on this. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
