I apologize. It's been less than a month since I read my first line of
html (or, for that matter, any other code).
Just FYI -- HTML is not code. It's markup. You wrap tags about pieces
of content to mark them up as headings or paragraphs or lists, etc.
This may seem like a trivial wording issue, but I find that thinking
about HTML as a way to tell the browser what a piece of content is helps
me write cleaner, more semantic HTML. It's a mind shift thing. :-)
So I'm still new at this, including presenting problems.
This page in our wiki may give you a better idea of how to best get help

Presented in the 'framebox' in this link:
http://pefco.dk/testing/test.htm
The box is going to contain two kinds of data:
1. Actual tabular data (items 1-3).
The items may consist of several lines and the links (html and
pdf) only of 1. There's most likely a better design, but I'll worry
about that later - unless
someone has some input to share
2. Non-tabular data (items 4-6)
To make the design consistent this data needs to be put in
tables too.
No it doesn't. It's a list, so mark it up as a list. Suppress the
default bullets using "list-style: none" on the ul element. Then, give
the li's background images that look like bullets and are set to not
repeat. Pad the li's on the left so their text doesn't overlap their
backgrounds. Then, just apply this same background image to the first
table cell in the top three rows.
The problem:
Aligning the bullets with crossbrowser compatibility - vertically,
marginwize- and sizewize.
Since you'll be using background images, you can use the
background-position property to position the bullet where you want it in
respect to the text.
The first Listutorial covers using background images for bullets. I
suggest you work through it from start to finish:
