Again, in my on-going development I've got an idea...I'm just not sure how to implement it. I want a table to run under my menu. I want about 40% of the page dedicated to the table...the other 60% open for text. I would like to do this with one table...I'm just not sure how to break it up.

Let me show you what I mean. (or attempt to)

This is what I want...


[] text []
[] text []
[] text []
[] text []

The "boxes" will be pictures. So I only need 4 rows, 2 columns. I got a table built...but for the life of me, I can split it. Any help would be great! Thanks guys.

So on each row you have two pictures straddling associated text?

What would the headings (TH) be for each of the three columns? Sorry to be dense but don't know the content.

I don't even really want a heading. Just the pictures and the text inside.

Then why are you using a table?

Can you post up a picture of what some of this may look like? - if we can see what the pictures are, and the relationship to the text (and how much text), then we can advise on the correct structure for this.

I'm really trying to establish what the semantics of the page are and whether a table is the correct mark up.

Menu

[]Text Here[]
[]Text Here[]
[]Text here[]
[]Text Here[]

I'm not sure what pictures I'm going to put there yet.

I know all there is on the site is a menu thats barley works right now but here:

If you can come up with another way to do this, I'm quite open...I'm just trying to get this thing up and running!

Actually it doesn't work at all for me because I don't allow Javascript by default.
