Well, the link started working and now my website is getting one of its big overhauls.

Sorry, but the link doesn't work for me.

I'm sorry. Forgive my denseness. I've been checking through the CSS tutorial and can't find where it shows how to use CSS to set layout of a page (and I'd be very interested in finding it).

On the subject of aligning tables, I currently use the old align attribute to makes tables sit amongst the text either on the left side or the right side as I desire. Here's how I do it from this page. <table border=1 align="right" width=13%> <tr> <td><img src="../Images/nucleus.jpg" alt="The nucleus" /><br /> <h4>Figure 2- Model of a nucleus, comprised of protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons.</h4> </td> <tr></table> I've played with the margin thing but haven't found the solution yet. How would I do this with styles?

Those hosts that have free offers yet no ads. Why do they do it for free if they aren't making money elsewhere?If they do domains, does that mean you get to upload your pages to your own chosen address with no interference from them unlike GeoCities?

I suspected as much. I plan to get away from GeoCities as soon as I figure out how to do it. Ah yes, so it is.

Now that the align tag has been deprecated for tables, I've been searching for the way to accomplish the same effect. For centering tables, I was given code that works like this. table { width:75%; margin: 0 auto; } This is in the internal stylesheet for my front page. I use similar inline style tags for other tables around the site. When I look at the offline version of the page I have on my computer, it works fine. The tables are centred. However, if you look at the link, you'll see it doesn't work for the online version.Why the difference? And how do I deal with that?PS what happened to the valign attribute? I can't find any reference to it. I assume it is gone.

Fine, I'll get rid of that. I was only using it for external links anyway. My preference has always been for opening links in a new window and I always find it more convenient when a web page does it automatically.

It says that the target attribute is not valid in strict XHTML, yet it doesn't say that it has been deprecated. If the target attribute is not used to open a link in a new window, how do you do it?

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I might need to develop my w3 skills before I could properly do it. I'll list this as a long term goal.

Ooh. Sounds complicated. Pointers would be appreciated.

My website consists of a bunch of pages following a standard template. With css, changes to styles are done easily enough. But if I wanted to change the layout of the pages, at present, I would need to update each page individually. Is there a way to write the template so that it accepts layout information from an external source like a stylesheet so that all pages can be updated with just one edit?

Thanks. That worked for centre aligning, but not your suggestion about left aligning. What I want is for the table to sit among the text.Here is an example of a page where I'm interested in getting those tables aligned. I guess I'm going to have bite the bullet with that.

Hi. Thank you for the excellent website. It has really helped me a heck of a lot with my website. You should have seen the code before I came here.I do have a couple of questions though.First question:It says here that the align attribute for tables has been deprecated and we should use styles for alignment but I can't find how exactly that works. I tried the obvious trick. style="align:left" That didn't seem to work though. How do you set the alignment of the table in strict xhtml?Second question:My website uses a lot of acronyms and abbreviations. I found out about the acronym tag here. Is there a way, perhaps using an external css to make it so the acronym function is automatically employed rather than having to tag every one manually?Thanks in advance for any help.Fixed link.
