snapping layers

hey, thanks again Murray. Im not sure what wrapping does to code. Ive seen it
talked about many times, but will have to go read that tutorial you mentioned
and find some other stuff maybe. I think Im starting to get this CSS stuff
down. KIND OF. lol I understand the basics anyway. Im actually finding
myself in the code view as much as the design view now days. Im probably
screwing as much of it up as I am fixing it, but its nice to finally understand
what it all means. KIND OF. =-)

Thanks again

Way to go Matt !!

At least you aren't scared to get into code view like some others :-D

Wrapping is a way of containing an existing page element - that's all. Then
you can 'style' the wrapper to make it center, and the contents of the
wrapper all get dragged along for the ride.

ahhh....Now that makes sense. Can you wrap anything? Like a cell? or just
cell contents? Could you wrap a whole table to center it in a window like I
keep hearing people ask about?
I guess maybe Im quirky in that I NEED to know WHY something works. Not just
that it does. Otherwise I cant seem to grasp it. If you know why though, you
can lick the problem and then trouble shoot in other situations. So I hope I
dont seem like I ask to many questions. Just trying to get to the "why".

Can you wrap anything? Like a cell?

No. You can only wrap things that could stand alone, so to speak.

Could you wrap a whole table to center it in a window like I
keep hearing people ask about?

Soitenly.

Just trying to get to the "why".

Yes. I understand completely.

Thanks Nadia... I have to admit that it was intimidating. I didnt even know
the basics...like what <TD> or <TR> means. Well, i still dont. LOL I know
what they represent, but not what the letters stand for. Come to think of
it..what DOES TR mean and do? It seems that its a tag that contains TD Tags.
I think that the TR is a table row? and the TD are individual cells in that
row?

Ive been experiminting with CSS...and Im wondering why it is that I have to
add a class element to EACH TD tag instead of being able to add it to the table
as a whole?
Can I put it in the TR tag like
<tr class="borderxx"> and have it govern the enitre table row??

And is there a certain order that elements should go in? IE
<td width="50%" valign="top" class="borderxx"> Can I put the class anywhere
in the tag, or does it matter?

Hope Im making sense...and thanks in advance

<tr> = table row
<td> = table data - the individual cells in a table row

Can I put it in the TR tag like
tr class="borderxx"> and have it govern the enitre table row??

Soitenly. Define your style like -

..borderxx td

and it will hit all <td> tags within a container styles with the borderxx
custom class.

And is there a certain order that elements should go in? IE
td width="50%" valign="top" class="borderxx"> Can I put the class
anywhere
in the tag, or does it matter?

It doesn't matter.

Get a good book, for goodness sakes! 8)
