Since you're a newbie, skip learning tables and go straight to today's
method of webdesign. No tables unless it's for real tabular data.
If I understand correctly what you want, you'd be best off using a
background image for the horizontal line, and making the background of
the word a solid colour, so it will not show the background image
behind it.
Presuming they are subheadings:
HTML:
<h2><span>Contact</span></h2>
<h2><span>Classes</span></h2>
<h2><span>Other Stuff</span></h2>
CSS:
h2{
width:800px;
background:url(hr.gif) repeat-x center;
padding-left:50px;
}
h2 span{
color:black;
background:white;
}
Personally I'd leave the width of the h2 out though, so that people on
a narrower window will not get a horizontal scrollbar.
