I'm not an HTML expert, but I've been working on one site for a while, and recently have been asked to work on another one. He wants a black box set up at the top of the page with white and red text in it, along with some images. The site is coded sort of funnily, but from what I can tell, should this not give me a black box (if there is already a table code set up)?

<tr> <td bgcolor="black" width="750" height="747">stuff here</td> </tr>

Is there an easier way to go about this?! For some reason it is a white box with a strip of black along the left edge. I have no idea why this isn't working, and it's beginning to frustrate me...well, okay, it's been frustrating me for a while now.

Now I'm even more frustrated knowing that LJ makes it turn out the way I want it to...just not this site!
