Any help would be much appriciated !

to achive room
use padding and margin tags.

 

Thanks for the tip, it worked

 

you know coding and don;t know about padding/margin
Reverse is with me.

 

Even though it might be easier.. don't use tables for your design. It's 2008 now, we don't do that anymore. Check out css and just float all your divs.

 

You could create div classes in CSS and place all the elements absolutely so you get a consistent layout on all browsers which you won't get with padding and margin tags
