Help is highly requested.

didn't you read that sirtopiea? It's better for him to make the things himself instead of getting it spoon fed to him by a code generator.

Anyhow, CSS is quite easy to use. You just need to know some parameters. And all you really need is Notepad. Tables themselves are quite annoying to create, you really have to fudge around with the settings in order to learn how to use them well.

Alright anyhow, CSS main purpose is to make it easy to change the formatting of a page, so you only have to change one document instead of all your html pages. So, what you're basically doing is creating default settings for certain html tags. For example let's say you want the default font of a page to be "Microsoft Sans Serif" (generally a good Sans Serif font is best for a web page). First you would create a document in notepade called "style.css". Then put in the following code:
Code:
#main
{
  font-family: Trebuchet MS;
  font-size: small;
}

Okay so now we need to insert it into the page. You need to insert it into the header, like shown below:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>My first styled page</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>Content here</body>
<html>

Alright now in the body tags you can mark where you want stuff to be styled using <div> tags. Like so:
Code:
<body>
<div id="main">
Stuff in here will be styled according to your set rules
</div>
Stuff outside will not.
</body>


That's just a very basic tutorial. Here's a link for a more in-depth tutorial. It's how I learned in about 30 minutes how to use CSS.

look at the source code for the page and you'll see the original author.

What? Were you going to take credit for it? It's not like the page's source code is restricted material. So I don't know what you're talking about when you say snooping. Anyhow, the code generator was made by

lol, encrypt your html? You still have to give the guy credit in a visible way. I seriously doubt you can prevent me from seeing the source code. It's not like you wrote it, so why are you so sensitive that I looked at it? Chill out Sirtopeia.

Edit:
Dont' bother hiding it. Here's the website where you probably got it from
