Hello all, I'm a nob when it comes to web design and I'm using textedit to try and create a web page... My issue is when writing html in textedit I can change the width of my tables, but can't change the height.... When viewing in rich text I can drag the table to increase the size when i do this textedit writes code for me but I don't want that... I want to learn this language on my own with no help from a program should i be using something other than textedit? Here is the basic html, css language I'm using am I doing something wrong or is this just the way textedit operates? Thanks for your time....
