I wanted to ask a question concerning using html code found in another web site. In my web development classes and most of the books I have read, all my teachers say generally the same thing, don't "re-invent the wheel." I know that if you use a complete file, a major function, etc from a web site then that would be a problem with copyrights. But, if I just use the HTML code style/format would that be a problem. Here is the page I want to use the code from. I wanted to use the format for my own list. I just wanted to use the code from the <body> section. Also, all I really want to use is the table code.

You could ask them if you can use it, but there's nothing difficult about what they're doing. All they're doing is placing unordered lists inside table cells. You could easily accomplish this on your own or with a visual editor. Or get one section looking the way you want, then copy/paste for additional sections.

Yes, not a good thing to copy from.
