alright, all the slicing and all that jazz turned out AWESOME, THANK you Faken for just a awesome tut

well when i got to the last step it says to make a table inside where you want your text to be, i did that and set the with of the tabel to the site i want to text to cover, well when i type in there and get to eaither the left or right edge end, the text doesnt drop down it just keeps going and stretches the tabel, i set the tabel size i just dont know why it keeps going past the specified tabel width, Thank you

Are there spaces? If you're typing "textextextextext" or something there's no spaces for word wrap to work with ;)

It's because you're doing this in the Design View of Dreamweaver. Go into the code part that's holding the text and type to your heart's content and it'll drop down like it's supposed to, providing you're not doing what Jay said up there ^.

While you're at it, I'd also recommend using CSS to lay out your CBs, providing it's the right type.

It's useful in that all the CBs will then use the same images, so pages will load faster and it'll be way faster to code the pages, you just need to specify the width of each CB you want. I know this isnt clear, but you can see an example here: http://www.lonestarstories.com . All the cbs there are using the same images.

If you're interested check out http://www.alistapart.com and search for custom content boxes.
