Drogba means use divs for the content instead of using tables. Tables are rarely used on websites these days because they don't offer as much customisation and because divs can be used more efficiently instead.

Similar to tables, it just means a bit more styling/css is needed to get them to look the way you want them to.

Code:

<div style="height:200;width:300px;background-color:#006699;"></div>

That is how simple the code is to create a box of a certain dimension with a background colour. Adding background images is just as easy and you can even set images to repeat in directions as well.

I tried putting divs next to eachother but it ends up putting on under the other.

It will do that because the width is set to 100% by default, so it will take up the entire line and push the next div below it. This can be solved by using a bit of styling to set width's and positions.

Divs will end up using a CSS Style sheet or Style tag... If you dont know how to use them you should look it up on w3schools:

I'm going to be on a trip for the next few days so I won't have time to check here until mid week Sad

If you can add a reply mentioning the sort of things you would like to learn with divs/css/styling I'll read it and then help you to understand them and be able to use them when I get back Smile

nvm, i finally figured it out:
Code:
<head>
<style type="text/css">
.side{float:left;width:10%;background-color:blue;height:100%}
.center{float:left;width:80%;background-color:red;height:100%}
</style></head><body>
<div class=side>Testing</div><div class=center>center</div><div class=side>testing</div></body>
