this is actually, alot easier cause it is css, and you can change it in one place, and have it in a style sheet.

put this in the head tag

<style type="text/css">
a.menu:link, a.menu:visited, a.menu:active, a.menu:hover
{
display: block;
line-height: 30px;
width: 100%;
text-align: center;
text-decoration: none;
font-family: sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
color: blue;
background-color: red;
border: thin solid blue;
}
a.menu:hover
{
color: blue;
background-color: yellow;
}

</style>

you can use it on any table

example of one i used for my brother:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0" style="position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px">
<tr align="center">
<td ><a class="menu" href="batman.html">
Batman</a>
</td>
<td ><a class="menu" href="superman.html">
Superman</a>
</td>
<td ><a class="menu" href="spiderman.html">
Spiderman</a>
</td>
<td ><a class="menu" href="mrincred.html">
Mr. Incredible</a>
</td>
</td>
<td ><a class="menu" href="mrsincred.html">
Mrs. Incredible</a>
</td>
</td>
<td ><a class="menu" href="vincred.html">
Violet</a>
</td>
</td>
<td ><a class="menu" href="dincred.html">
Dash</a>
</td>
<td ><a class="menu" href="jincred.html">
Jack Jack</a>
</td>
<td ><a class="menu" href="megaman.html">
Megaman</a>
</td>
<td ><a class="menu" href="flash.html">
Flash</a>
</td>
</tr>

About the emailing problem: You can use Mail-Maniac mailform processor to receive email from your visitors. It is very easy and you won't need PHP, ASP, etc. to use it.

This is from their example page:

<form name="formname" method="post" action="http://www.mail-maniac.com/">
<input type="hidden" name="mailto" value="mailto(at)address.com">
<input type="hidden" name="from" value="mailfrom(at)address.com">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Subject line">
<input type="hidden" name="fromname" value="Your name">
<input type="hidden" name="goto" value="http://www.thankyoupage.com">
<input type="text" name="sometextfield"><br />
<input type="text" name="anothertextfield"><br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit"><br /><br/>
<a href="http://www.mail-maniac.com" target="_blank"><font size="1" face="Verdana">Mail-Maniac, free HTML email form processor</font></a>
</form>

Just edit the fields and you're free to go! Good luck!
