I like to consider my self a programer but I made a mistake somewhere with the layout of my webpage and I cant seem to fix it.

The Problem: I have a table cell for my menu and next to it is a cell for my news, as soon as the news gets under the menu it takes up the whole page instead of what I designated for it. It is hard to explain but if you go to http://www.dbzrst.com you will see the problem.

Basically I want all of the news to be aligned with the top part of the news. I am sure it is just a silly small error that i cant seem to find. If someone can fix it I can't pay them but I can try to help them if they ever have a HTML problem or somehting else I could do. Thanks.

Kinda hard to see the problem with the multiple windows that keep popping up all over the place.

Sorry about that but I am just a co-webmaster, and the other webmaster puts that there so we can get more hits I guess. Just close em all down till you see the one with the title "DragonBall Z RST- You should kill anyone you dont like (vegeta cell saga)"

You think you could post the site on a server WITHOUT the pop-ups! I couldn't get to your site either. Like you said, it's probably an easy fix, but I had to quit my browser as soon as that happend!

Those pop-ups were worse than at a porn site (not that I'd know what those look like )

hey man, i'd love to help but that code is a mess. i can't really tell what you mean by your words above, but if i had to guess i'd say that you want the space under your navigation to be blank and the content that is there now to be shifted to the right, in line with the content in the table at the top.

if this is indeed the case, and all of that code comprises one table (can't really tell with borders turned off), then i would guess that you are missing a rowspan= variable from the <td> tag.

for instance:

<table>
<tr>
<td rowspan=100>nav bar</td><td>news first row</td></tr>
<tr><td>news row 2</td></tr>
<tr><td>news row 3, etc.</td></tr>
</table>

the rowspan number can be higher than the rows. just set it to 100 or whatever and you'll be fine (assuming you have less than 100 rows). this is assuming it's all one table, which is not how i'd do it cause the browser has to render the whole table before you see content (4.0-)

the code you've written is a disaster though. you've got multiple body tags, multiple head tags, and you've got them in the wrong order. a 3.0 browsers will have a hell of a time rendering that page.

it also looks like you've dabbled is CSS. which leads me to ask, why don't you just position the table with CSS as well? would solve all your headaches.

anyway, i hope this helps, but since i wasn't clear on what you wanted in the first place and couldn't decipher your code, i doubt it.

good luck though, man.
