hey guys whats the best thing you can use for making content boxes? Iframe or a table content box? tell your opinion and a little reason why!

[Griffin]

I really dont like the look of iframs for content boxes. Id go for a table content box that can stretch.

[Eskimo]

haha ic.. i'm pretty newbie at making content boxes, does anyone have a tutorial where i can learn? a link would be very nice thank you in advance

[CoryMathews]

i would use tables. its alot easier and less hassel. just search it here in the tutorials or at good-tutorials.com

[Eskimo]

ok will do thanks alot!

[adam123]

Or, learn some css and try a tableless layout.

[Snoug]

I personally use iframes and think css is crap when it comes to layouts. But yea id ask faken because hes the master. Hes got the green jacket next to tigerwoods.

[Spooky]

Faken, green jacket? Nuh uh. He wears the blue Jacket with me, Jay, Donna, Brian, and Akash. We are workin our way up to the gold jacket next to Dave Shea, but not quite there yet .

CSS rocks. Use div's and positioning with CSS. Looks tons better.

[Jamie Huskisson]

mines god the words "i rock" on the back too

[Spooky]

You don't have gold, you are a imposter! You didn't make the ladybug :-P. Faken doesnt have gold cause he dont have the PHP skillz, so boo yah.

[Jamie Huskisson]

pff, mines gold with diamonds, sucky blue jacket..

and back on topic, the best thing to use would be the normal method, not iframes

[adam123]

Ahem, Spooky, I do not appear to be on that list of yours

[Eskimo]

haha so i'm getting the thought that iframes suck... but ok tables i have a tutorial here and i wana know if it is a good tutorial for making tables, i have looked through many many tables.. so please tell me if this tutorial is a good one, if not does anyone have a link to something better?

the tutorial

[CoryMathews]

yup thats how they are made. 3 pics top, midreapeat, and btm. then a 3x1 table. that tut seemed to be good but i didnt read it in depth just looked at pics

[Eskimo]

haha ok nice thank you Cory by the way would i do a navigation the same way? or how would i do that?

[Eskimo]

anyone? lol would i do the same thing for a navigation box as a content box? or what would i do differently?

[-Michael-]

I'm no expert on coding, but I would assume you would just cut the layout into 3 peices, but I don't work with tables, I like phpBB_fetch_all. But that can get tricky too, in my(very stupid) opinion, divs and iframes are much easier to do although not as impressive.
