Tables

[The Red Guy]

I need help on filling cells of a navigation menu. Attached is an image of the menu. Thanks. Using frontpage 2000 for a demostration.

what is filling cells? adding stuff or adding bg color?

[The Red Guy]

Adding colours. I tried to make the cell the colour I wanted but the table became distorted!

Posting the HTML would be more helpful than a screenshot of the table. To give those two cells a background color you just need to add "bgcolor='#......'" to the <td> tag (and put some kind of content in the cell itself, a &amp;nbsp; will do), or are you asking to do something more than that?

<td width="24%">
<table border="0" width="174" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="326">
<tr>
<td align="left" height="26" width="31" valign="top">
<p align="right"><img border="0" src="images/top_left_corner.gif" height="31"></td>
<td width="134" valign="top" height="26" align="left">

<td valign="top" align="left" height="26" width="31"><img border="0" src="images/top_right_corner.gif" width="31" height="31"></td>

<td width="31" height="276" align="left"></td>
<td width="134" height="276">
<table border="0" width="100%">

<td width="31" height="276" align="left"></td>

becomes

<td width="31" height="276" bgcolor="#123456">&amp;nbsp;</td>

and

<td width="31" height="276"></td>

becomes

<td width="31" height="276" bgcolor="#123456">&amp;nbsp;</td>
