"Sheild of Inredibility" on it

Is this possible???

Yes it's possible.

* You could define the whole thing in TABLE art but that would get very large.
* You could choose an existing picture of a shield, make it the BACKGROUND to a table cell and position some text (possibly with a BGCOLOR of its own to conceal the existing contents) over the top.

Shield possibilities:

Murray, you aren't - but the person who made posting no.2 is on pre-moderation.

The posting will show after it has been approved by one of the Moderators - as it indeed says in the posting right now...

"Well, it is all part of a plan, I think.

Table Row, part of the TABLE TAG

Table Delimiter, think about it as the vertical lines in the table

& &amp; probably part of the imagery, I use FONTs, SMILEYs images BACKGROUND (table art) all mixed together.

is a dummy tag, it is used to span over a block of something. Sometimes I use it for the attributes sometimes to prevent any spaces slipping inbetween characters. "

TD = Table Data (an ordinary data cell in the table)
TH = Table Header (a heading cell, typically put automatically in bold)
BGCOLOR = BackGroundCOLOuR (for a cell or row or whole table)
BACKGROUND = an image to use as the background

Traveller in Time smiley - tit (as 'Titania' anf 'SEF', not a GURU)
"I hardly ever use , it is kind of redundant (except for 'approved GuideML').

TH = Table Header
TR = Table Row
TD = Table Data

TH = Table Header
TR = Table Row
TD = Table Data

TH = Table Header
TR = Table Row
TD = Table Data

TH = Table Header
TR = Table Row
TD = Table Data

TH = Table Header
TR = Table Row
TD = Table Data

Seem such easy mnemonics, hope I will ever get them memorised smiley - smiley "
