probobly a very simplistic thing i need to know but i know very little about the html side of sites.

section to be white and the bottom section to be black....i told you it was simple :oops:

<html>
<head></head>
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" border="0">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" height="100%">
<tr><td height="50%" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </td></tr>
<tr><td height="1" bgcolor="#999999"><img src="images/spacer.gif" height="1" /></td></tr>
<tr><td height="50%" bgcolor="#000000"> </td></tr>

No worries, hope it's useful.

@ Mangafish - I put the middle cell on to emulate a rule because of the padding on the <hr /> tag - it was important to remove it in this case because otherwise the rule sits slightly inside thhe white bg cell. Could have got around this with css, but it seemed simpler in this case to add an empty cell.

you shouldnt need a stylesheet to change cell dimentions.

it was more the image in the middle cell i couldnt understand the perpose of as your assuming that there will be the image "images/spacer.gif" on EmotionComplex's site

No you misunderstand me, not to change cell dimensions - the <hr /> tag comes with padding as standard, but this can be removed using css (although not across all browsers) - I simulated a rule using a 1 pixel high cell to remove padding from the rule therefore giving a clean divide between top and bottom sections. The image is there to ensure the cell loads at exactly one pixel high, if you leave the td tag complately empty it will display incorrectly in some browsers.

Whooops, EmpotionComplex, you need to put a transparent .gif image called spacer.gif inside a folder called images (the images folder should be within the same directory as the file created using the code above.
