notice how on the left they have those boxes? I can make graphics like that but...how do I add text in there? if I add it to the graphic then I'd have to change the graphic everytime I wanted to change the text...how do I do what they did?

Those look like frames and tables, someone correct me if I'm wrong, since I am pretty new at this as well. And looking at the source code, I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Looks to me like they made a graphic for the border and matched the color of it into the table and frame, making it look like one thing.

Looks like they are mostly table cells with a graphic for the top and bottom and a background image for the left / right border

What?
Do you want the tables on your site to be transparent?

Use this:


<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
table, td {
background: transparent;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
site content

</body>
</html>

I'm a bit confused because your table background is supposed to be transparent by default. You would have to have code somewhere in your <table> or <td> tags to make it a solid color or image.

I'd suggest a tutorial (http://www.weballey.net/tables/tags.html) since you often appear unsatisfied with the service here.

Second that one DC... Chipmunk tables are always transparent unless you specify otherwise... I am confused...

Actually I think probably even a general HTML tutorial might be of value...
