Html layouts

[---MAD---]

Any1 got any tips or help sites that help with html layout making etc?
Cause when i do it the stuff seem to look good in normal view but in explorer or preview (frontpage) it looks very werid :|


I am currently using tables to make the layout, is there another way?

erm tables are mainly used for structured but hey its your site!

i need help with it, thats the problem ;)
What other way can i use to show the intersections (the lines that split in bits of the site (like tables)).

make an image then split it and put it into tables. Its best to work it out for yourself. You will understand it more then. But you need a really good knowledge of html.

Edit one of them first untill you get the hang of it.

My advice : Get Frontpage or Dreamweaver
Thats the only real easy way to make templates

To make a fairly simple layout like on my site uses 200+ lines of HTML
Just imagine writing all that out :$

I wirte it from scratch its really easy. I dont have any of those programmes but I understand how pages are set out and stuff better.

Yea but for a newbie it would be impossible

Those HTML-goodies site. And stuff like that. I never actually learnt anything from them :l

See what you mean but if you just use rpogrammes when your site messes up you will never know how to fix it or something so you really need to learn both ways.

i learnt html, mainly before i ever used dream weaver etc. so both wya sis pretty essental, espaly if u wnat to use somthing like php as it would require useage of html from your self. athogh consideing if u didnt botehr leaning a basic landgwage like html u probly woulnt learn php.

Plus knowing html normals very useful if u need to make a quick ajustment to your site threw cpanle or somthing "/

Yea, Editing the site slighley is easy - I could do that
But starting a site completely from scratch with limited HTML knowledge would be very hard indeed

200 lines of raw HTML would take less than 20 minutes
