    My tables arent working properly. The html code says the menu.php file should be only 20% but it occupies the whole sceen which is 1000 pixels.

    here is the page in question:

    http://preview4.awardspace.com/myspacetips.info/

    And the non rendered code:

    I usually build sites with WYSIWYG editors but im trying to do it all by hand for once and it looks bad.

    I know this doesn't answer your table problem but here it goes anyhow : don't use tables, use css + divs.

    I use to use tables but a lot of web site layouts I see now use ONLY css + divs. I've found it works pretty well, it`ll cut down on your coding and get rid of those pesky table problems.

    my 2 cents.

    You need to use a colspan="3" in the TD's that only have one TD per TR.

    Hello, Forumer.
    Until you make your transition to only-CSS page design, maybe
    you will profit from

    A course on tables


    You will find there many examples of different types of tables.
