Got a little problem. Designed a little table with images to round off the corners. But when I add text to one of the cells everything goes up the spout.

On the attached pic the first image shows the table all hunky-dory. Second is just with the borders on so you can see what's going on.
Third is with the text showing it all messed up, and the fourth is the same as the third just with the borders off again.

The middle row is colspan'd across the 3 collumns above and below it. So surely anything I put in that cell shouldn't affect anything else...

The corner images are images inside cells, whereas the middle cells are backgrounds.

It's madness I tell thee.

Any clues?

HTML if it helps..

[loply]

Gaz, if you're learning HTML, then it really doesnt make sense to learn the old fashioned way (tables), which has been replaced by a superior alternative (CSS), for the very reasons you are experiencing (buggy, unpredictable behaviour).

Im sure I could solve your problem, but I would recommend instead that you restart your tuition on CSS rather than tables; Its just... better.

Agree with loply, although I don't know CSS properly and still do things the "old fashoned" way!

For the imediate problem though, try adding align="right" to the <img> and <td> tags for the right hand images. If you have multiple lines of text etc you may also require the valign="top"/"bottom" attribute for the TD tags too.

Haven't looked at the html if you put any up, but had you considered using the images as backgrounds for the cells?

[Gazdaman]

I had tried using the images as backgrounds. I am now using css to make the entire layout, I had no idea css was this powerfull!!

Set cellpadding and cellspacing to 0.
