Okay, Bullet-Line.com - the layout is one big table with lots of cells. Well if I give the table cellpadding, it messes up th layout. But those 3 boxes where I want text, the text is touching the sides. How do I get aroudn this?

Use CSS - make a class or ID for the three text boxes - therefore it will just add padding to those cells and not the rest of the table.

Within the <td> for each of the text boxes do the following
<td style="padding">

Then within your CSS add this
.padding {padding:10px}

Obviously change the value to how much padding you want

I know only the very very basics of CSS which is why I did not come up with this. Thanks!

CSS File:

<style>
.pad {padding: 3px}
</style>

Table Code:

<TD COLSPAN=9 ROWSPAN=2 bgcolor="#FFFFFF" WIDTH=420 HEIGHT=409 valign="top" class="pad">

It's not working, what'd I do wrong?

[r4z0r]

Sorry my mistake - change class="pad" to style="pad"

It's been a long day

Also I notice you've got an I-frame in there - you'll have to put the style on the content of the I-frame i.e. the table in news.php

In your external CSS file get rid of <style> and </style>

You don't need them, and they're what's messing it up - let me know how it goes!

I had to change style back to class, but it worked.
