If you give me a list of pages to send you I can do so.
>1) Tables, How do I get a gif on the right and text on the left? etc..
I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean a gif in the right cell and
text in the left?
>Can color be put into a table?
No. HTML does not support the concept of "colors." Netscape HTML does but
that is a different language.
>Does anyone have a URL that would answer some
>fairly basic questions?
You have web access??? Here's the URL:
http://www.hpl.hp.co.uk/people/dsr/html/tables.html
>2) Colors, How do get the "#0000f00" numbers for setting colors, I want to
>change the background colors, but don't have the ability to match anything.
>Is there a formula, or did I have to go to MIT? ;)
Again, this is a Netscape HTML question. You should ask Netscape for the
answer. HTML does not allow the setting of colors via HEX numbers like this.
>3) Forms, They would like to have a form or 2, I have ordered up some

It depends on the server. On older servers, yes. On newer servers, no.

It depends on your platform, on your server, etc.

I dunno how much 1000 rubles is, but don't worry about it. Your job must be
very interesting. I don't suppose there are openings for Web
masters/programmers with World vision in Russia. =)
