You could use tables but you SHOULD use CSS
An example would be as such:
<yourdefaultcssfile.css>
And then your html file:
This is a VERY basic layout... makes the box 780px wide and aligned in the center
An example would be as such:
<yourdefaultcssfile.css>
#content {
width: 780px;
margin-right: auto;
margin-left: auto;
}
And then your html file:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <title>your title</title> <link href="yourdefaultcssfile.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> </head> <body> <div id="content">your content</div> </body> </html>

I SPAMMED Too Much!
Hi there,
CSS stands for cascading style sheets.
You can include css in your avarage html file or you can make your own sheet.css file and all of your pages can like to it.
A CSS file basically positions everything and does all the font, table widths, colors etc.
Its really easy to use. Ive got a book on css and it really helps. I picked it up within a few weeks.
Also, i use page widths around 780px - 820px. (They are modorate sizes so most screens can display it fully).
Also have a look at these...
1) http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/
2) http://www.w3schools...css/default.asp
3) http://www.csszengarden.com/
4) http://www.htmlhelp.com/reference/css/
5) http://www.google.co...nition&ct=title
Hope that helps.
