I have a table that i want placed on a page and for some reason can't get it to go where i want it to. I want it below the text if that makes sence.

I have tried a <div style> several different ways but to no avail.

Any help out there? Thanks in advance.


The code from the file is attached in TXT format.

Put it online and give us a link. It doesn't look like Coffee Cup is doing you any favors.

Here is the link to the file. http://royalspin.us/test/newletter.html

The links wont work but that is not the point I would like the banner to be below the text.

Thanks for taking a look

I'm sorry but that's so jumbled I can't tell what you consider to be the "banner" and what "text" should be below it. Let me recommend you check out the links in my sig.

Sorry that the code is so difficult to read.

I have added a comment before the table that i want to appear on the rendered page below the text.

the table is the blue banner on the current page that says "Royal Fiber Spinnery" and a drop down list of newsletters that the reader can call up.

hope that helps makes sense.

Well the code is difficult to read but the thing I find "jumbled" is the rendered page. For instance, there seems to be three columns but I think you actually want one or two. Things just seem to be randomly stuck around on the page like the whit graphic heading up an address, the two blue boxes that are the table in question, the text area in the middle of the page and then the strange red menu box in the lower right.

I'd recommend you first get rid of ALL that absolute positioning and replace all that breaky-breaky stuff with paragraphs like they should be anyway. Either drop the background graphic entirely or drop the contrast of it drastically because the text is unreadable over it. And follow the links in my sig.

well i have checked ur code and I find that u have used a lot of the div tags. Would it not be easier if you could have used tables and have them positioned accrodingly ?
