I've been stuck for 8 hours, yes I've been sitting here trying to figure this out since this morning and it's drove me nuts, so bad I am coming here hoping to get some sort of help. What I want to do is manipulate the table structure at http://theoccult.enjin.com to http://nom-guild.com/forums/ The center and side columns. My best guess was to create a table with image-borders that can expand when info is filled up in them.
This is not recommended. This will cause a slow loading time of your site since in the first place you are also using tables. Why not use divs instead of tables ..
Since this topic, I tried working this this but it's just failing to show the images. I also tried this, but again, with my luck, it doesn't work.
One solution is to style your element with a background image in css and then specify an offset for the background in CSS. The background can poke out from beyond the edge of the element (a div or li element for example). This can be used for many different effects, one being the appearance of a drop shadow using pure css.
using divs or tables really will not make to much difference, now days we all have fast net connections, and things load quick,,,but yes div tag is much faster in loading time,,,,,i wouldent worry though
