Hi I'm new here and I just started school majoring in digital media arts. I'm now having a class dealing with html and I need some help designing this table. Its pretty confusing.
There's a row at the top which reads"DESIGN" That will be the name of the website

Beneath that you have 5 colomns
Mens/woman's/Special Offers/Sales/Denim

Now in the middle of the page it will be 3 random pictures each in there own table I guess.

Now at the very bottom there will be another 5 columns
Contact/About Us/Careers/Outlet/Locations.

Any help will be appreciated...

you can use colspan and rowspan but if you just started, you can use nested table.

You can check out an example here

I think I understood you - here is an example here as well
Code:
<table style="width: 100%">
   <tr>
      <th colspan="5">Design</th>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td style="width: 20%">Men</td>
      <td style="width: 20%">Woman's</td>
      <td style="width: 20%">Special Offers</td>
      <td style="width: 20%">Sales</td>
      <td style="width: 20%">Denim</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td colspan="3">&nbsp;</td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>Contact Us</td>
      <td>About Us</td>
      <td>Careers</td>
      <td>Outlet</td>
      <td>Locations</td>
   </tr>
</table>
There are lots of ways to style these as well something like
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
   "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>   
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" />
<title>Untitled 3</title>
<style type="text/css">
body
{
   font-size:1em;
}
td.types
{
   width:20%;
   text-align:center;
}
td.footer
{
   widows:20%;
   text-align:center;
   font-size: .8em;
   border-top: 1px solid #000
}
</style>

</head>

<body>

<table style="width: 100%">
   <tr>
      <th colspan="5">Design</th>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td class="types">Men</td>
      <td class="types">Woman's</td>
      <td class="types">Special Offers</td>
      <td class="types">Sales</td>
      <td class="types">Denim</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
      <td colspan="3">&nbsp;</td>
      <td>&nbsp;</td>
   </tr>
   <tr>
      <td class="footer">Contact Us</td>
      <td class="footer">About Us</td>
      <td class="footer">Careers</td>
      <td class="footer">Outlet</td>
      <td class="footer">Locations</td>
   </tr>
</table>

</body>

</html>
But hopefully this will give you a few ideas.

It sounds like you are wanting a potential template / layout of a website? If so, the tables would be ok to use but <div>s / CSS would be much better. But choose what you think you can understand / handle at this moment.

Thanks man I really appreciate that, and I'll be sure to try. I think using the divs and css is alot better and alittle more easier to understand.
