I realize that... I'm certainly not a high-class programmer, I have
learned a little hand-coding along the way but mostly I use
Dreamweaver. I know that is looked down upon by most "real" coders,
but I love what I do and can help people with what I DO know...
However, it is past time that I upgraded as I am still using the MX
2004 version which is probably the source of my problems.

Dreamweaver tends to do this automatically, which is why I've fallen
into such a horrible mess. I'm learning more CSS so this will be a
good exercise for me.

I modified the top portion of the first table "Events and Specials".
I took out all the <td> attributes and replaced the background using
CSS, but now it isn't showing up at all. In addition, I can't get the
text in that cell to do what I want now. I put in a <span> over the
text but that isn't working, plus I'm pretty sure there is a better
way to do that.

As long as the sites work and I continue to learn and work my way to
coding by hand, then I'm okay with things not being a quick fix. It
will take me some time, like I said, but I want to learn which is why
I am asking the people who know best.
Thanks again.
