You forgot the closing </table> for the START UPDATES section.

And you forgot the <table> for the last two sections as well.

It could just be the wrong path to the image.
Make sure the image is correctly named,
and if that doesn't work, then take the image you want,
and upload it to photobucket.

i just put it on practice board, just like it is, and it worked fine. http://www.practiceboard.com/?7747701
which means your html is messed up somewhere else.

Tables may validate but it is not proper usage. Once you get the hang of CSS you realize how much easier it is than messing around with tables.

I know CSS, I just find tables to be more logical. So long as it validates, everything about CSS over tables is pure elitism.

No, it isn't elitism. This explains it better than I ever could.

That entire document feels like propaganda. There's only one benefit of CSS over Tables that isn't either false (the caching thing), or surmountable by server side scripting, and that's the readability for the blind user. Which to be honest, I don't give a shit about. I also don't see the point in differentiating between different types of visually identical formatting, or using a 5 byte tag to do the same thing a 1 byte tag would.

Ok fine, you don't care about accessibility, search engine optimization (remember, google is a blind user too), site size/efficiency, or keeping up with current standards and practices (err, not so current -- css came about nearly a decade ago). Not everyone cares about that stuff, and people like to stick to what they know. But if you ever wanted to get a job with a professional web design firm or something of the like (which I'm guessing you don't), you'd be laughed out of the room with table-based layouts. It's like choosing the long way when the shortcut is right in front of you.

You're right, I don't want a job with a professional firm. I'm a real programmer, not an artist masquerading as a programmer.
