Thats actually pretty nice... other than the disjointedness o_o... yeah thats the right table tags, maybe just tinker a bit with it.

I hate image slices for just that reason.

Did you use imageready for that? Just re-export. Then again... here:

Here's your problem:

<table width="736" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="212" height="9" colspan="3"><img src="images/top1.jpg" width="212" height="9" class="style1" /></td>
    <td width="524" height="96" colspan="2"><img src="images/top.jpg" width="524" height="96" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="7" height="257"><img src="images/border1.jpg" width="7" height="257" /></td>
    <td width="169" height="257"><img src="images/navbody.jpg" width="160" height="240" /></td>
    <td width="34" height="257"><img src="images/border2.jpg" width="34" height="257" /></td>
    <td width="515" height="169"><img src="images/contentbody.jpg" width="515" height="169" /></td>
    <td width="10" height="169"><img src="images/border2..jpg" width="10" height="169" /></td>
  </tr>
  
  <tr>
    <td colspan="3" width="211" height="19"><img src="images/bottom1.jpg" width="211" height="19" /></td>
    <td colspan="2" width="525" height="19"><img src="images/bottom.jpg" width="525" height="19" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>

Look at the math on that. It's ugly. Your table is working just fine, but your widths and heighths are off. You need the width and heighths of the <td>s and the <img>s to match. go with the size of the image, as that is what is important.


since just the middle part seems to be having issues, here:

  <tr>
    <td width="7" height="257"><img src="images/border1.jpg" width="7" height="257" /></td>
    <td width="160" height="240"><img src="images/navbody.jpg" width="160" height="240" /></td>
    <td width="34" height="257"><img src="images/border2.jpg" width="34" height="257" /></td>
    <td width="515" height="169"><img src="images/contentbody.jpg" width="515" height="169" /></td>
    <td width="10" height="169"><img src="images/border2..jpg" width="10" height="169" /></td>
  </tr>

Hmm... looks like it was only those two values.

Now, without testing, I can't be sure if it'll work.

If not, the images in the second row are probably actually less pixels across than those of the first and third rows. Just scale or crop to fit if that's the case.

thank you. I think the image just wanted sliced properly, i had sliced it by hand. So then i sliced it in PSP and it coded it for me so the table fits good now.

And i decided i wanted to position the navigation and content by CSS. Even when i play around with the pixels it still doesnt move. Can somebody tell me why or help?
