This is the question related to search engine optimization. Some web design companies do not use nested tables and only use CSS (cascading style sheets) for search engine optimization point of view. Can anyone tell that does nested table structure of the page creates problem in SEO

No they are not and have no effect on SEO.\n\nHowever it is important to have a Document Type Definition (DTD) on the first line of your HTML or XHTML page and then to validate the code according to the DTD. When your code is validated then you can be sure that both search engine bots and users will not have major problems.\n\nI would recommend that you author new sites in XHTML with CSS for many reasons including; easy transition to more advanced technologies, cleaner and more logical markup, increased interoperability and greater accessibility.

On a basic level, yes. Nowadays, web pages effects are defined using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), within the document itself or externally. CSS defines the effects, and often the positioning, on a web page.\n\nOn a more dynamic level, JavaScript and DHTML are useful for things like advanced page loading and real-time clocks etc. - they are also effects.\n\nIn conclusion, effects are whatever you want them to be - as long as it's not just plain text. Remember, you can define backgrounds, colors and texts using just HTML.\n\nTry http://www.w3schools.com/

Well, if you look at it, it's not really disorganized. It's just plain to look at. But, seeing as they are the w3, they take great care into not wasting your bandwidth. \n\nThe people without broadband for example, are be able to access the w3 without waiting for it's pretty pretty graphics to load. The point of the w3 website is to provide a reference to standards, not eye candy. \n\nWhat would be ironic is if a GRAPHIC ARTIST's site is plain.

Yes, you have to insert a table, then you can insert columns. Make your whole page based on a table, that is the easiest way.

it seems to happen the most when you use multiple columns in your pages when they are made using tables. learn to make your pages using div tags and css\n\nhttp://www.bluerobot.com/\nhttp://www.csszengarden.com/\nhttp://css-discuss.incutio.com/\n\nmy website was made using this method and so was this one.

the layer is likely a <div>.  That element is found in a container.... i don't know what that parent element is without seeing your code, but in the block element that is the parent of your layer you want to put style="position: relative"\n\nDreamweaver is setting the positioning of your layer to be absolute in relation to the next declared parent element.  Since you haven't declared position for any parent element, it's laying out that div in relation to the entire web page.  That is why you have to add style="position: relative" to the parent.  That way it will position it in relation to that element rather than the entire page.\n\nAdded:You nested my layers (dragged existing layers into 'nested' parent layer) and changed 'absolute' to relative in the parent code.\n\n- the parent code can be either relative or absolute.  What you need to do is now change the child layer to relative or absolute, and then define the top and left (or bottom or right).  So, the layer you created should read <div style="position: absolute; width: 200px; left: 400px; top: 100px;"> (or, it will read class="style1" and the style info will be in the header).  This will create a layer that is 200px wide, that falls 400px from the left of the parents upper left site and 100 px from the top.

Why not use CSS and make it a proper menu list?\n\nHere is an example from http://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/horizontal01.htm\n\n<div id="navcontainer">\n<ul id="navlist">\n<li id="active"><a href="#" id="current">Item one</a></li>\n<li><a href="#">Item two</a></li>\n<li><a href="#">Item three</a></li>\n<li><a href="#">Item four</a></li>\n<li><a href="#">Item five</a></li>\n</ul>\n</div>\n\nCSS\n#navlist li\n{\ndisplay: inline;\nlist-style-type: none;\npadding-right: 20px;\n}\n\nUse CSS to style it anyway you want.\n\nCheck out these fancy styles in the Horizontal list section of listamatic.\n\nRollover horizontal list navbar \nhttp://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/horizontal03.htm\n\nEric Meyer's tabbed navbar \nhttp://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/horizontal05.htm\n\nand a bunch more\nhttp://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/

Well, it would take some hours to determine why and I may still be wrong.  Since you are advertising web design services, I won't offend by saying that you messed something up.  However; if I were in your shoes, I think I'd go straight to the source and email them or look at everything I could with as many sets of trusted eyes as I could.  Either of these things may have been already done.  As a last resort, the links that are found at the site below have some good solid information on the search engine game.  And it is frequently updated.  I hope this may help you out.

Not necessary.\n\nBut for the ease of maintenance it is useful to keep them segregated into a folder and use a hierarchy to represent their depth.\n\nAlso, if a certain JSP needs to be protected for direct access from outside world, keep it under the WEB-INF folder.

Hello,\n\nI looked at the source code and they are indeed tables that they are using. What they've also done is assigned a CSS class to the table. I stripped down the code so all the extra stuff you don't need is removed.

People who develop the look of high traffic sites probably don't resort to a visual tool at all. They work very precisely and economically to develop their template in a text editor, and then the site is largely generated through the template by a database - nobody at such a company literally makes web pages. There likely isn't a single ".htm" file anywhere on Yahoo's servers - its all dynamically generated off of base templates.\n\nHowever, pros doing professional ecommerce sites might resort to Macromedia DreamWeaver MX from time to time. You will see professionals use that tool - but you'd never see them using FrontPage because of the code mangling, etc.

No, Google isn't the best, but it is the most popular in the USA and UK -- which makes it the most popular.\n\nWhy use Google (or any of the 200 or so search engines) when you can use a METASEARCH ENGINE that searches more than one search engine at the same time -- including Google?!\n\nFor example, Ask.com searches Google as well as Altavista, Excite etc.\n\nSeems pretty daft to restrict yourself to merely one...\n\nGoogle are too powerful anyway -- didn;t they just throw BMW off for trying to get a better Google ranking?\n\nWeb designers go mad, and millions of web pages HAVE to be redesigned every time Google changes it's ranking rules -- which they do often.  Web designers find a small loophole that gets their sites onto the first Google returns page, and Google discover the loophole and close it... it's been cat and mouse like that for years.\n\nIn the source code for web pages there are metatags that web designers use for search engines -- a description of the site, keywords and so forth.  OK, so this got abused by a few unscrupulous folk, so Google no longer uses these tags at all. So Google descriptions tend to be the top menus, left menus or ads!  Google-wise sites all have the navigation on the right side as a result!\n\nThe more sites that link to your site, the higher ranked you will be.\n\nThe more links from your site to other sites the higher ranked you will be.\n\nIn addition, each linked site is ranked, such that if a high ranked site links to you, then you get Google kudos.\n\nBut, last year (because everyone started doing a LINKS page for their site), the links have to be relevant and in the course of the text of each page!\n\nThen recently, Google decided that each page has to have a keyword saturation -- and that the links had to relate to the saturation percentage!\n\nPut simply, if you design and upload a website, if no-one links to you, if you link to no other site (why should you?), you take no Google Ads, banner exchange etc, and (heavens above) you use a frame set or even have your domain name point to a frame page (cloaked redirection), then Google will not find you.\n\nYou will be found within a very short time by hundreds of sites around the world -- you can submit directly to them, they will use your meta tags, keywords and text strings.\n\nIn summary... if you want to FIND relevant sites, use a  MAJOR METASEARCH ENGINE, such as 20, 37, Beaucoup, Dogpile, Debriefing, IXQuick, Kartoo, Search.com, Vivisimo, etc. or use a directory engine or indexing engine (INDICE).\n\nGoogle? pah! Hyped by men in suits!

from a graphic designers perspective....the layout is not good. it does not flow well. your eye does not know where to look. a design or a web page needs to have structure. don't get me wrong, the page is somewhat appealing but it needs help.\n\nat first glance i don't even know what the site is. if i were to happen accross it i would move quickly past it and i would not re-visit it. to fix this problem the site designer needs to ad some balance. there is too much going on.

meta tags are used so taht search engines can classify your pages. put it in your <HEAD> tag. and should look something like that:\n <META name="description" content="put some description here for your website">\n<META name="keywords" content="couples of category/keywords separated by commas">

Well, I see a couple of easy issues to solve.  First, why use tables?  And more importantly, how are two tables on the same page with different widths in percentage form supposed to reconcile themselves?  You could probably do better with the new CSS and HTML or XHTML.  Try out the three URLs below for more information and some really cool freebies and reviews and such.\nGood luck on the sight and C++ too!

framesets are old!\n\ncurrently most sites design pretty html pages  with iframes.\n\ncutting edge sites use dom scripting to insert (via ajax) directly into the html (little bit here, little bit there or all into 1 div);\n\ncool cutting edge sites use jquery (http://jquery.com) to do 99% of the hard work!\n\nbut the simple answer is the javascript variable\ntop.location.href
