Hey guys...sorry to bug you again.

Ive restarted my page, hopefully doing it right this time. Can you tell me if
Im on the right track with what Ive done so far? I dont want to get to far
into it just to find out Im doing it wrong again. LOL

Also...in code in the <TD tag...does it matter what order the contents are in?
IE <TD width=xxx bgcolor="xxxxx" or does it only matter that they are in
there and "worded" correctly? Does it matter if there are spaces between each
element of the TD tag?

THanks

Hard to say, not much there ...

Just some notes:

* Use an external stylesheet.
* Use (if you're familiar with) shorthand properties, your current
body-CSS could be reduced to

body {margin: 0}

* Use alt-attributes on _all_ images, use reasonable texts that do not
describe the image, but may work as a replacement. If an image is used
only for decoration use alt="".
* You shouldn't use deprecated attributes like bgcolor anymore, use CSS
instead (the 'background' property in this case).
* Keep filenames lower case, will save you lots of trouble.
* And as always: Validate your code. While it gives you no guaranteee
that your website will be accessible and work cross-browser, it makes
it a lot easier to find major mistakes and track down problems.

Also...in code in the <TD tag...does it matter what order the contents are in?
IE <TD width=xxx bgcolor="xxxxx" or does it only matter that they are in
there and "worded" correctly?

The order of attributes doesn't matter.

Does it matter if there are spaces between each
element of the TD tag?

It _shouldn't_ matter if you quote the values of all attributes, but you
never know how browsers will react, so to be safe you should separate
the attributes with a blank. Additionally quote _all_ values, in HTML
it's only "good style", in XHTML it's required.

Your trophy and ask menu buttons are enclosed in a <p></p> tag which is
causing a break in your menu cell.
Micha gave you advice about the contents of the <td> tags, but I would
recomment a stylesheet, or to start with in the head of your document, like
in the one I did for you. Otherwise, you will end up with more code bloat.

Not sure if you are using DWMX or DWMX2004, if using the older version, you
may want to do is download a free trial copy of TopStyle css editor, (for
PC only though) more info at the link in my sig. I love it, is a big help
with writing your styles. It is visual, you can see the end result in a
window.. take it for a spin, to see what I mean. DWMX2004 is much better at
handling css though.

I notice by your doc type, that you are using xhtml. If you want to
validate the page when done, you will have to be careful of how your code is
written, it is much stricter than the transitional doc type. (once again,
it is in the file I did).

Good start so far

Thanks for your time, but Im honestly not even close to that level. Im trying
to do this in tables so I can get that down and have a good foundation. Im
wondering if the tables Im using here are correct and if the code is ok.

Thanks.

ahhh I see now nadia....Couldnt figure out why I was having trouble with that
dang button image. Thanks yet again. =-)

Ive got DW MX 2004

Im not sure where to start with style sheets. Dont quite understand what they
do yet. Im trying to read up on it.

Take a look here:
pretty basic and easy to understand
www.mako4css.com

Have a good read of the whole site, print off as needed, THEN start working
on your page. It will save you more time down the track.

What about books, access to a library?, see if you can get your hands on css
books by Eric Meyer - Cascading stylesheets,
Eric Meyer on CSS - you'll learn a lot from his range of books.
