Tables+OL

Is there a way you can code a table in html, or more like a border, and have text inside of it. I know you can use frontpage, but I would like to have the html behind it.

Not quite sure what you mean. Tables have a border property you can use,but if you want text inside of it, then it's not really a border. You would have to embed tables, or , more efficiently, use CSS layout capabilities. As for Frontpage, I have never really used it. I don't under stand what you mean when you say you want the HTML behind it. If you didn't know, all Frontpage does is makes it easier to write HTML and build websites. All it does is write HTML for you. Therefore, If you can do it in frontpage, you can do it in HTML. Unless, there is something to do with frontpage extensions in corrdination with the server, in which case, I wouldn't know. :p

To get more responses. I suggest you re-phrase you question.

Tables should be used for tabular material, and not to control layout. The latter use indicates some lack of understanding of more modern stylistic and layout methods (CSS). Tables ARE an HTML thangy, though, have been for years, and were once (back when ships were wood and swabbies were steel) the only effective way to control layout. Here is a table description:
<table>
   <tr>
      <td>Cell Data</td>
      <td>Cell Data</td>
   </tr>
</table>
'tr' represents a row, 'td' represents a cell (data). Consequently, that table has one row with two cells. You can set the border as a table attribute but it's more flexible to set it as a table style. "<table style="border 1px #000000;">" or similar. Surf, Google, and read; that gives you a start.
