Hi,

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me here. What I am trying to do is to set up a webpage for my small company using drupal 6. I got stuck on the page called Our People. It has a list of our staff (their biographies on one side and photo on the other side) as shown below.

Michael Higgins
Managing Director

Michael Higgins has over thirty years and so on ............................. _______________________

.............................................................................................| |
................................................................................ |______________________ |

So I thought that the only easy way to do this is by using TABLE in HTML. I then created a new page in drupal and put the following into the body field as follows

Michael Higgins
Managing Director

Michael Higgins has over thirty years and so on ..............................
..............................................................................................
..............................................................................................

 Only local images are allowed.

I did not get to see what I wanted to see after refreshing the page but instead, I got something like the following

Michael Higgins
Managing Director

Michael Higgins has over thirty years and so on .........................................................
.........................................................................................................................

I wonder if there is another way of getting this done.

Thank you in advance

When creating a standard drupal page using html tags like TABLE, you have to change the post's input format (below the textarea) to "Full HTML", otherwise drupal will filter out most HTML tags.

Thank you for your help. I have added

tag to the FULL HTML and it works now.

Hi again,

I now have another issue again regarding the style in the

HTML tag. The issue this time is I want the text in the cells to be of garamond font type. So I wrote the following HTML 
<table border="0" style="font-family:garamond">
<tr>
<td>Michael Higgins has over 30 years in the field</td>
</tr>
</table>

This code did not make the text garamond. I then tried to put the style inside the

tag and this did not work either.

I was wondering if this is to do with the input format again.

Thank you in advance
