Got some brackets facing the wrong way. These lines should be:

<td colspan="2"> </td>
<td colspan="2"> </td>

Your to generous. By the way.at this point you seem like a god of code to me.How long have you been into codes? Is there any hope a regular neanderthal like me could get it together with XHTMl,and CSS in a few months you think? Call it beginners shakes.

Thanks again for the kind help.This site seems like a good place to start on my journey. :)

I finally got it right.Not as sophisticated as yours but its a start i guess.

I'm just a music education major who ended up working in the IT business via a long and winding road. I've been learning about HTML and related stuff via osmosis since whenever I first got on the Web, (early '90s?), but I've really only been learning more than the basics over the last 2-3 years. Undoubtedly my experience working in the software business for 17+ years makes reading things like the w3.org HTML and CSS specifications a bit less daunting than it might for "lay people".

So I guess what I'm saying is you don't have to be a programming genius to learn HTML and CSS, just persistent. :)

Pleasure metting your acquaintance.


Im a male Nurse.Yea I know "Meet the Fockers right"?

I pretty much hate my job, and have dreams of becoming a freelance website designer so I can work less at my current job (maybe make a few bucks on the side), so I wont drop dead soon from the stress.

I figure if i could eek out a few dollars for peanut butter and bread whithing a couple of years of learning on my own then Id consider myself actualized.

Some would say hey this guy is no Captain America, but I always figured if you keep your expectations reasonable then you wont be too dissapointed when you crash.

At this point I liken myself to Dante having gone thru the depths of hell itself.Hell aint a pretty place, and its real trust me.

I figure freelance webdesigner of sorts.Not too much to ask of the cyber gods I hope.By the way do you think that web designers will be in demand thru say 2015?

Got my fingers into

XHTML
CSS
FLASH
DREAMWEAVER


But just kinda started.


Ahh me in a log cabin somewhere on a mountain making websites.Ahhh the dream.


Hey I live in jersey too.Union county.
