I am assuming the spacing you're talking about are those gaps in your border the content goes in. You can try to use the following code to get rid of them.

<style type="text/css">table, td {  border-collapse: collapse;}</style>

You should also add a DOCTYPE, head section and page title because your page isn't validating as HTML 4.01 Transitional/HTML 3.2 right now:So on the top of your page where it says <html>, change it to this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN"><html><head><title> Your Page Title </title></head>

And with the CSS code above, you do this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><title> Your Page Title </title><style type="text/css">table, td {  border-collapse: collapse;}</style></head>

Remember to close off your document with </body> and </html>! :)

Tables are a really bad way to display websites. And embedding tables within tables is not a good idea.To make the content be well placed I think this should work:<td width="790" valign="top">Context goes here</td>

Hello? Anyone here?
nope..we've all gone home..we've left you in the charge of the world :) :)anyway..back on subject. Divs and CSS are the way to go for making and designing websites.http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp and http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_div.asp:)

I can't really help you but I have a question of my own and this seems the place to ask. I see all the settings to configure the lines on the outside of the table. How do I get them only on the inside? Also, slightly table-related. I have two tables, one on each side. I want the text on the left one to scroll but on the right to remain on the screen. The right is the URLs linking to sections on the left one. And, no, this isn't the same page I had the frame question. This is completely different. I would put code but I don't want to take the time to pick the personal details out of it. (It's a resume draft I'm writing in HTML)

...Well, ... Try this code in the tryout editor...

<table border="0"><tr><td><Marquee><marquee direction="left" scrollAmount="1"  width="100%" height="100%" onmouseover="this.stop()" onmouseout="this.start()"><h1>TextextTextTextTextTextTextTextText</h1></MARQUEE></td><td>Text</td></tr></table>

---------------------I need help on formating the page to look like this in general:shownl2.th.jpg

Ok, marquee isn't going to help but my first question still stands. How can I put the borders only on the inside of a table?
Cloud, next time, make a separate topic. High-jacking topics is usually frowned upon.Try this code:
td {  border: 1px solid black;}

That CSS code should only target the <td> tags on the page, it shouldn't put a border around the <table>.
