    hi

    i am trying to help a friend make an template for his ebay listings. I am a novice so i am taking my time and hopefully will come up with a basic template. The template is nothing fancy, no buttons etc, just a static, rigid page.

    My first step was to draw the layout on paper, then i created the layout in xara by using black boxes for the header etc. ( i will do the graphics later).

    What i want to do is before i spend time doing the graphics is to put this black box layout into dreamweaver and see how it looks.

    My problem is how do i create the layout within dreamweaver, i have been using the "insert image" button to put the black box graphic jpegs in but the spacing is all wrong and i dont seem to have much control..

    where am i going wrong??

    i am a bit of a noob but can i follow instructions :eek:

    thanks

    Use a table... You can control your content easier.

    Go to Insert > Table. Once you have your table you can edit background etc. If you want a good start learning Dreamweaver see this site..... http://inpics.net/dreamweaver.html


    Hope this helps. John
