Never used tables, but something weird is going on....

Date: 09/14/07 (WebDesign) Keywords: html, web

EDIT: BIG QUESTION, I'm speaking to someone right now that says you can not put a table inside an html page. It won't work on some servers and that is why mine it's not working.

IS THIS TRUE!?

Ok - I'm creating a website for an author. First page is fine! I think, well this second page is going to take me like 30 minutes. Huh hu, sure... I've been on this crap for like four hours total! He has a bibliography page - a simple table, book thumbnail that opens up to link or larger image on one side, about the book on the other side. Repeat like 30 times.

Well, first I tried just using his table coding - stuck it in my html file and saw it in dreamweaver and everything! looked great! When I uploaded my files to awardspace.com it acted as if the page doesn't exist.

So I figure, even though it looks fine in Dreamweaver, something is seriously wrong, and I just need to re-code by myself.

I do the first collumn, test, fine - now I'm on like the 10th collumn or row O_O - and decide to test it out again. Awardspace is acting like it doesn't exist again! No page at all!

All I can think is it's something to do with the fact that I'm using the links to his images (which of course won't show up) and thumbnails. But I figured, even if it didn't show up, or if something was wrong - wouldn't the file still exist?!

Anyone have any helpful advice? Not sure where to proceed from here.
