Hey everybody, PLEASE help with this if you know the following:

I'm retarded at best... and have spent 2 days on this crap:

Code:

<html>
<body>
<script>
if (!document.layers)
document.write('<div id="divStayTopLeft" style="position:absolute">')
</script>

<layer id="divStayTopLeft">
<table border="1" width="150" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="100%" bgcolor="wheat">
      <p align="center"><b><font size="3">Menu</font></b></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="100%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<a href="" style="text-decoration:none"><B>Home</B></a><BR>
<a href="" style="text-decoration:none"><B>Contact Us</B></a><BR>
<a href="" style="text-decoration:none"><B>blank</B></a><BR>
<a href="" style="text-decoration:none"><B>blank</B></a><BR>
<a href="" style="text-decoration:none"><B>blank</B></a><BR>
<a href="" style="text-decoration:none"><B>blank</B></a><BR>
<a href="" style="text-decoration:none"><B>blank</B></a></TD>
  </tr>
</table>
</script>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
</body>
</html>

If you save that as an html file and check that out you'll see the effect that i'm going for. What I need to know is how to get that into a normal website table:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<META content="" name=description>
<META content="i" name=keywords>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1491" name=GENERATOR>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href=""></HEAD>

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0" bgcolor="#C0C0C0">

<center><br>
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="520">

<tr>
      <td width="100%">

<table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="650" cellpadding="0"bgcolor="#FFFFFF" style="border-collapse: collapse" 

bordercolor="#111111">

    <tr>
        <td><p></p></td>
    </tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Is there a way to nest that into a centered table? Is there another way somebody can get the menu effect that i'm going for inside a typical style (centered) default website-- or just outside of it?

!!PLEASE HELP!!

Thanks very much!

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're asking. You're javascript is really doing nothing so I don't know why this is a javascript question.

If you want that table to be nested inside a centered table then add it inside the cell of a centered table. It sounds like you already know how to do that which is why I'm not really following.

If you don't mind could you describe more what you are trying to do with the entire page?

Is the issue that you don't understand how to nest tables inside each other? Or is there something more. I'll be happy to help, but I'm just not quite sure where you need the help.
