New to CSS - can't find last row in table

[doodler22]

I'm taking a class in Dreamweaver CS3 and I'm building my first site using CSS and tables. (Forgive me if I'm awkward using the terms).

I've added a table with 4 rows, 1 column. I want to go to the last row and make it 100% so that it pushes the other 3 rows to the top. I'm insering images, like a nav bar, in the other 3 rows. I can't figure out how to find the last row. I'm used to working in InDesign and Dreamweaver has me so confused! What have I done wrong? Thanks!

<table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="table">
<tr>
<td height="100%"><table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td height="100%" class="tablebackground"><table width="995" height="339" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="images/topbar.jpg" width="993" height="160"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href--THIS IS MY ROLLOVERS></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="100">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

What you're doing is not tabular data, so it should not be in a table. If you're working on a CSS based site, why are you using so many tables? And coming from InDesign, shouldn't you be more used to blocks of information rather than designing with tables?

Honestly, due to the mess of your nested tables, I have no idea what you're doing. I'd scrap everything and do it with divs (header, navigation, main).

What sort of backwards class teaches using tables for layout these days?

I'd ask for your money back, or them to teach modern coding, not stuff that we did 10 years ago.

I wish I knew what a div was...the instructor doesn't even want to go into them. It's very, very frustrating.

Get out of that class and demand your money back. You're being ripped off. Then head here for some free tutoring:
