table display probs, help Options

[scoobydoolover94]

Hey
Please help me.
lol.
My tables on a regular webpage want show up.
This is the code i'm using.

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <br />table.main{<br />width: 50%; <br />float: center; <br />background-color: white; <br />border: dashed 2px black;<br />background-image: url(http://img421.imageshack.us/img421/2239/untitled12333243451rr.jpg);  <br />background-repeat: repeat;}<br /></style><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Is that the code i should be using?
Thanks,
Emily

I personally like divs better
The code for the style:

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><STYLE TYPE="text/css"> <br />#content{<br />width: 50%; <br />float: center; <br />background-color: white; <br />border: dashed 2px black;<br />background-image: url(http://img421.imageshack.us/img421/2239/untitled12333243451rr.jpg);  <br />background-repeat: repeat;}<br /></style><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Then put this before all of your content

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /><div id="content"><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

And then

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com --><br /><br /></div><br /><br /><!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

At the end of your content.

Sorry if something is wrong with that...

That code you put up doesn't have tables in it. So that's probably why the tables aren't showing up!

&divs can't do everything tables can quite as easily.
