Hello,

I am working on my resume for my website and I am using an XHTML table for it. I want the user to be able to highlight any section of my resume which is why I am not using an image.

Currently the way I have it set up is each section (ie Education, Experince) has it own table, because the formatting for each section is slightly different. Is there any way to just use one table for the whole thing rather than 4 or 5 separate tables?

Here is a sippnet of my source code from my current resume and I have validated my code as well.

[i]

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Joshua Bock's Portfolio</title>
</head>

<body>

<table border="1" width="780px">

<tr>

<th style="width:120px" rowspan="4"><h2>Skills:</h2></th>

<td>High Poly Modeling</td>

<td>Low Poly Modeling</td>

<td>Environment Modeling</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td>UVS Mapping</td>

<td>Texture Painting</td>

<td>Normal Mapping</td>

<td>Lighting and Rendering</td>

<td>Unreal Editor</td>

<td>Hammer Source SDK</td>

<tr>

<td>Programming</td>

If you wanted to show your skills you could do the same with CSS. I'm not sure this is tabular data. You're using the table for layout.

Ok, I'll have to look into that a bit. Have any good source websites that I should look into besides W3C Schools and A List Apart?
