Agreed. What you describe (starting over) is exactly what I've just started doing today. Well... actually to be more accurate, I'm going back to a previously attempted version without tables. But I did want to get to the bottom of a couple of other things before I went back to that. So I'll

[css-d] classes...?

Greetings all... again... ;) I'm familiar with some concepts from object oriented programming. In particular something which i think is called encapsulation. In languages like C++ you build classes which are portable mini programs that do stuff. You can pick them up and plug them into any

Perhaps the confusion comes from the word class. A class is just a name that tells the browser, When you render this item, use these settings. Outside of that, a class doesn't do anything like what an object in OOP does. A class doesn't know how to render itself it. A class doesn't respond to

A class is just a way of assigning certain properties or group of properties to something on the page. You can assign a class to a wrapper/container/content div, you can assign a class to a paragraph, and you can even assign a class to a single letter or single word, image, or table/table cell.
