Re: "I'm getting more skilled with the ext. css, but I still feel most comfortable with tables for giving some links. I'm trying to convert pages and any tables to CSS markup." Personally, I find it very difficult to properly position more than two divs at a time; the complexities multiply exponentially. Tables are easier to code; the cells position themselves. -rt_/)
Judy, I suggest that you may want to use the colspan attribute, and just have one table, e.g. <table> <tr><th colspan="4"></th></tr> <tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr> <tr><td></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr> </table> I'll post an example if you need one.

Bluefish is a GTK+ HTML editor for the experienced web designer. Its features include nice wizards for startup, tables and frames; a fully featured image insert dialog; thumbnail creation and automatically linking of the thumbnail with the original image; and configurable HTML syntax highlighting. For validation to work you need weblint and xmllint. For preview to work, you need a web browser that can view local files given to it on the command line. pat
I've been using Bluefish. It is not a WYSIWYG.

The pinkish/brown text on dark blue background is hard to see. It should be a much lighter color for good contrast. So the code would actually look like this Also not sure why you are using a div container to enclose the table. <code> <div> <table class="table"> <tr><th colspan="3">Ten Mile Church of the Brethren (Marianna, south end of the congregation)<br>and South Pigeon Creek Dunkard (north end of the congregation)<br>Washington Co., PA</b></th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="http://www.westernpacob.org/congregations.html">Click on Ten Mile COB link for picture of original church</a> </td> <td><a href=" http://www.familyoldphotos.com/pa/2p/pigeon_creek_dunkard_church_and_.htm">Photo of South Pigeon Creek Dunkard Church</a> </td> <td><a href=" http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&rmm=1&2si=gdt&un=m&2gi=0&cl=EN&ct=NA&2n=WASHINGTON+COUNTY&2da=-1.000000&2rc=B1AAA&rsres=1&1ahXX=&1y=US&1a=1+South+Main+st&1c=Washington&1s=PA&1z=&2ahXX=&2y=US&2a=%5B1-104%5D+DUNKARD+CHURCH+RD&2c=MARIANNA&2s=PA&2z=15345 ">Directions to Ten Mile COB with Map</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href=" http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&rmm=1&mo=ma&1gi=0&un=m&1da=-1.000000&1rc=L1AAA&1n=WASHINGTON+COUNTY&cl=EN&ct=NA&2n=WASHINGTON+COUNTY&1si=navt&2rc=B1BBC&did=1129245019&rsres=1&1ahXX=&1y=US&1a=1+S+MAIN+ST&1c=WASHINGTON&1s=PA&1z=15301-6813&2ahXX=&2y=US&2a=%5B458-499%5D+LETHERMAN+BRIDGE+RD&2c=SCENERY+HILL&2s=PA&2z=15360 ">Directions to South Pigeon Creek Cemetery/Lot with Map</a> <br>(tap the bar for East to move the map slightly to see Letherman Bridge Road; the Cemetery is a little over 2 miles down the road.) </td> <td><a href=" http://www.savory.org/chartiers/raybell/1993-tenmile.html">Raymond Bell Anthology - Ten Mile Church of the Brethren</a> </td> <td>German Baptists adopted the official name of <a href="../cob/1_ten_mile_church_of_the_brethren.htm">The Church of the Brethren i</a>n the early 1900s.

I would ignore the warnings but what is probably causing the problem is the ampersand within the url. If you want it to validate, you need to change the & to the actual code for the ampersand which is what the validator is probablu telling you.

By the way, the bottom of this page with the tables is what I'm trying to convert to CSS, so i can either shorten the whole thing OR put the css-new-tables on a separate page altogether. http://freepages.family.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~florian/cob/1_ten_mile_church_of_the_brethren.htm
Barry or Pat G, Hope I send this right so the code is shown. Below is an example of a 2-tables using Ext CSS to make a header box and a table under it... break...and another small table with several columns. The full page validates with several sets of this markup (minus the mapquest links). However, there is a problem with the 3 mapquest URLs...they generates 39 errors and 9 warnings (see example URL below also) because validator is reading tiny pieces of the URL as if it is my markup (like "mo" as one example, or the code for 'space' that's in the URLs. When I took out the mapquest links, everything else comes up A-okay. The CSS creates th with dark blue background and reddish-brown text, which is why I want those header (th) areas. The th background matches my H1 page title and nav background (both on the template). <!-- code below--> <div> <table class="table"> <tr> <th>Ten Mile Church of the Brethren (Marianna, south end of the congregation)<br>and South Pigeon Creek Dunkard (north end of the congregation)<br> Washington Co., PA</b></th> </tr> </table> </div> <!-- Reminder to Self: no break --> <div> <table class="table"> <tr> <td> <a href="http://www.westernpacob.org/congregations.html">Click on Ten Mile COB link for picture of original church</a> </td> <td> <a href=" http://www.familyoldphotos.com/pa/2p/pigeon_creek_dunkard_church_and_.htm">Photo of South Pigeon Creek Dunkard Church</a> </td> <td><a href=" http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&rmm=1&2si=gdt&un=m&2gi=0&cl=EN&ct=NA&2n=WASHINGTON+COUNTY&2da=-1.000000&2rc=B1AAA&rsres=1&1ahXX=&1y=US&1a=1+South+Main+st&1c=Washington&1s=PA&1z=&2ahXX=&2y=US&2a=%5B1-104%5D+DUNKARD+CHURCH+RD&2c=MARIANNA&2s=PA&2z=15345 ">Directions to Ten Mile COB with Map</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <a href=" http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&rmm=1&mo=ma&1gi=0&un=m&1da=-1.000000&1rc=L1AAA&1n=WASHINGTON+COUNTY&cl=EN&ct=NA&2n=WASHINGTON+COUNTY&1si=navt&2rc=B1BBC&did=1129245019&rsres=1&1ahXX=&1y=US&1a=1+S+MAIN+ST&1c=WASHINGTON&1s=PA&1z=15301-6813&2ahXX=&2y=US&2a=%5B458-499%5D+LETHERMAN+BRIDGE+RD&2c=SCENERY+HILL&2s=PA&2z=15360 ">Directions to South Pigeon Creek Cemetery/Lot with Map</a> <br> (tap the bar for East to move the map slightly to see Letherman Bridge Road; the Cemetery is a little over 2 miles down the road.) </td> <td><a href=" http://www.savory.org/chartiers/raybell/1993-tenmile.html">Raymond Bell Anthology - Ten Mile Church of the Brethren</a> </td> <td>German Baptists adopted the official name of <a href="../cob/1_ten_mile_church_of_the_brethren.htm">The Church of the Brethren i</a>n the early 1900s.

I wish there wasn't a gap between the table for 'th' and the regular table, but this was best I could do. I'm getting more skilled with the ext. css, but I still feel most comfortable with tables for giving some links. I'm trying to convert pages and any tables to CSS markup.

In making tables, I often need a Single Row/Single Cell "Header" with a multi-row/multi-cell Table below it. So with only html, I usually made 2 tables butted up against each other so it looked like just one table with one header. Pat G. made an External Stylesheet and from that I could made a table with th (headers). But it all must 'match' for th and tr. My question: Can I made a Single Row/Single Cell Table but only use the th for it (so the background/text matches other table headers),... and then make a second plain css table of whatever rows/cells for the table under the 'header-only' table? example table 1 just use th in single row/single cell table 2 3 column, 4 row table with no headers in this table Judy

If I wanted to create a separate class for text center small, would this work? /* ==================== CENTERED-SMALL TEXT typograhic ====================== */ .p2 { text-align: center; } font-size:small; { ====================== */ With markup ??? <...p class="p2"> Judy
With external CSS for p class="center" and for a class "small" for small text, then how do I write the html markup for text I want centered and small?
