Tables in BBedit

I need to know how to create tables

[nuria]

I am starting on webdesign and BBedit. I NEED to skip any introduction to create a table, because I built the web pages in Photoshop and the text looks like crap!
I need to retype directly on BBedit. The html page is done; it has a banner, a frame with the buttons and the changing frame with the copy. This is the part I need to redo.
I found a Table menu under Markup, but I don't know what to do with it! (yes, I am lost but I need to do this), so please...HELP ME!

Thanks

[too much information]

Can't you just open the HTML file in BBEdit and just edit the text?

You should be able to find the spot in the table from the image name since it is a photoshop output.

I've never used the markup feature in BBEdit, so I really can't help with that.

Here's a little trick I've used to type onto the image directly: First you must of course edit out the text in the original photoshop document (BTW when you edit the image in imageready, you have to adjust whichever setting, gif or jpeg, to the best balance between file size and look appearance. If visablity means a few more kbs.. then so be it. It might be worth having a look at Fireworks instead?) anyway, you need first to figure out how to make your table in BBedit (sorry I don't use a Mac so I can't run the software to help you there) and then fix it's size to the same as the image you have, then instead of inserting this image into the table, make it the background (of this table only!) then you can type freely over it. You may have to divide this table up to get positioning, but don't forget to have the image as a background of the parent table.

Q: which version of BBEdit are you using?

The menu::Markup:Tables:Table.. ([ctrl][cmd/apple]T) will give you a dialogue box where you can define the basic structure of your table to your hearts delight

But if I understand you correctly, your problem is that you have a picture onto which you want to place text? If that is the case, then I'ld go for absolutely positioned <div>s instead of tables.
