I emailed you some basic table code - I see Cornell has since added some so others can see as well.

Yep. Got the Scooby Do List thing.

I also hate clowns... with their white makeup and fake noses...



And... clowns just aren't right...



Or...



And it's just the tip of the iceberg. These are just a tame sample of how scary clowns can be. There's worse out there. Much worse. {shudder}

Which site is too wide?

I'll send you the ""100 million dollar Movie Report"" for telling me.

Dear Cornell,

Thanks.

What is a "Table Code?" in the context of an E-bay salesletter?

What is it used for?

I appreciate the information.

Just don't know what to use it for or How.

Happy New YEar.

Glenn

Hi Glenn:

Hope this explains okay.

You would use the code to position the content on the page.

By using the center atribute the whole table would be centered on the page in the section of the page that is alotted for the text contnent, and by using a setting of 650 and thus restricting the width of the table to only 650 it would mean that your content would not (should not) cause a left to right scroll of the page to be read. The ony exception that might cause scrolling would be if the page area for content was less than 650.

The table code would be added to the template you are using to set up your sales page.

All web pages/templates use tables of some sort for the layout.

Undoubtedly the template you have used for the sales page will have a table ...or part of a table,,,,to alot the spave for your content.

You would insert one of these table codes within that section to control the layout of your content on the page....and because you would be putting this table code within another table or table section it then becomes known as a nested table because you have nested it within another table.

When you look at the html code on the page where you are going to insert your content you will see one of the folloeing just above that point.....

<table width="xxx">
<tr>
<td> you would be adding your content at this point

or

<td> you would be adding your content at this point

In either case you would copy and paste one of the table codes right in aftert the <td>

Then in the table code you just inserted you would add your conten between the <td> and the </td> as in the example below....using the code below you would basically have the shate of a T where the top of the T would be the section of content that goes right across the top of your content.....on the left side of | in the T would be the left column, and on the right side of | in the T would be the right column......

<table align="center" width="650" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2" width="650" valign="top"><font face="arial" size="2" color="#000000">

You would add your content here that would go across the full width of the table and it would be positioned over top of both the columns that would appear below it.

</font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="325" valign="top"><font face="arial" size="2" color="#000000">

The content you add here would be in the left hand column

</font></td>
<td width="325" valign="top"><font face="arial" size="2" color="#000000">

The content you add here would be in the right hand column

</font></td>
</tr>
