I have a problem w/ CSS

[heavenbound1984]

I'm having a problem. I'm starting my own Web Design business and I'm working on my own business page and i tried doing a table in html. I have never worked w/ tables in html b4. So, i did a search online and came up w/ nothing much. So i did a search for tables in other languages and got a table in CSS. i have never used CSS b4. i copied and pasted the code into my notepad and when it came up on my IE it was all diagnal. It didn't look like the table in the example. I don't know if I am copying it wrong or what i am doing wrong? Any help would be nice....

Good place to start learning CSS: http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

One thing to remember with CSS is nearly all browsers interpret it a little differently. In other words what you see on IE is different from what you'll see on Firefox, is different from what you'll see on Opera, etc. Make sure to install all the main browsers on your computer and test your design with all of them to see what works best.

Wiggsfly is correct, so you will really need Firefox/IE to make things right.

Also, to save you time a lot of places off free CSS layouts that you can figure out a lot faster than learning it from scratch, for example try finding a layout and modifying it to your site.

**By the way the difference between fixed and liquid:
Liquid Layout = Stretches when the user stretches the browser.
Fixed Layout = Site stays same size when browser stretched.
(Of course images wont stretch)
