    Hello everyone. I just got this new dreamweaver software and I'm having a problem figuring a couple things out. When I open a blank html page and I add a table it appears in the top left corner. How can I move the box around the page. drag and drop or whatever.
    Another problem I'm having is I have created a contact us form to be sent to email but I can't figure out how to make it submit to my email address and how to make it redirect to my home page after submission. This is probly pretty easy and once I do it once I'll figure it out, but I have been using really simple yahoo site builder software and I wanted something better so I got the best and I'm having trouble figuring out these simple tasks. Any help would be appreciated greatly.
    Thank you.

    And a contact form requires PHP. Get rid of dreamweaver (or at least use Code View) and learn HTML/CSS/PHP.

    I am going to help you with the table problem though - thogh its a very bad method of doing ti code wise/

    1. Go to view > code
    2. Find "<table>"
    3. Add style="position:absolute"
    4. It should now look like this: <table style="position:absolute"
    5. Go to view > design, and you will now be able to move the table around.

    I can't believe I just recommended that.

    know of any good tutorials or videos to learn css?
    I looked at the css code for the template I'm using and couldn't figure it out.
    is like an html code just has table placements in it?
