Ok my problem is I Didnt have a constant background. So when we did the side bar I have a gap between my header and footer. What can i do I tried making a BG and making it the BG of the middle But it leaves this like 1 mm gap between the top and middle and then middle and bottom Instead of being flush. So it really looks Bad. Please help Thx

Looks like you have the background set to the table AND the middle cell.

Screenshots or a link to the page you are having issues with would be VERY helpful. I'm a bit confused with your post at the moment.

Thanks anyway dude. But i figured it out I was leaving cell padding and spacing blank instead of putting them to 0. Geuss thats what happens when you dont look at all the screen shots. Just figure you know stuff. Anyway works good now Thanks alot. Just so hard with 56k. Ausome tutorial btw except i found it extremly hard to match up the nav bar Buttons. How did you slice them so perfectly without missing a pixel?

Lil bit of a problem for me as well, should be easy to solve though.

I'm stuck on lesson 7b - First section of STEP E.

I insert the header_nav_button_left.gif into the top left blank cell, all is ok. I then press the right arrow key so that the cursor is on the right hand side of the image, and finally change the width of the cell to '10' in the properties box...nothing happens, the cells stay the same size.

I didn't think this small problem needed a screenshot but just ask me if you need one.

I'm afraid I can't explain this to you without basically going over the entire tutorial I wrote tailored to your layout. If you want me to slice it, PM me and I can do that for $35 and you can see what I did with the layout for the future. I don't mind helping people out, but from your question, I don't think you understand the concept of using tables to form your content, and I'd basically have to teach you from the ground up.

Sorry I can't help you more than that...

Does the cell's width change when you set the others next to it? DW is funny sometimes and doesn't size the cell properly until you do the others.
