    Help With Tables

    So I am using tables to put my new stories in (I am a total novice at this web design thing) and I keep getting unwanted borders and cannot optimize it to where I have multiple stories on a page each with their own little box. Any tips or suggestions or websites that help with this kind of thing?

    Put this in the head section of your page to get rid of table borders:-
    <style type="text/css">
    table { border: 0; }
    </style>

    You can either have several tables so that each can have different numbers of cells in the width and different widths of cells
    or
    use one table with each row of cells separated by a <tr> tag. Every cell in a column will be the same width.

    See
    http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp
    and
    http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/tables.html

    I don't know whether you are planning to use HTML or XHTML; there isn't much difference but this link is for XHTML:-

    Code downloaded to my PC will be deleted in due course.
    WIN7; IE9, Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari for Windows; screen resolution usually 1366*768.
    Also IE6 on W98 with 800*600 and IE8 on Vista 1440*900.
