Theme development

I have created a custom user profile based on the the default user profile theme http://drupal.org/node/154129. Obviously when this is used, all the fields are generated within the profile categories. This is what I want versus explicitly calling each profile field as in this example: http://drupal.org/node/35730

I am new to web design. I have few questions need designer reply.

1) When visit a site, how to define it is purely CSS driven?

2) When visit a site, how to define it is tabled or tableless design? Any tools that we can use to check it?

3) If my site is running Drupal with tableless theme, will it become tabled if I used TinyMCE and build table to type content?

I want to render quotes differently in the forums. There isn't this feature but I figured that's what the < cite > tag does. How do I render these 'cite' tags? When I try to edit the css for this it only works for a single line and doesn't render the rest of the lines because they are broken up by br and p tags

Hi guys and gals,

I'm quite new to Drupal and can't figure out how to print a CCK field in page.tpl.php (I don't want it in my node-something.tpl.php file). The field is called page_headline and is for my Story content type. I added <pre><?php print_r($node) ?> </pre> to page.tpl.php and my CCK field is available:

hi there
i have just finished customizing my theme and i was wondering if someone could help me out here

i have a HEADER position and a CONTENT poition
the content is BELOW the news articles and the header is AT THE TOP of the page, where like the logo sits but i wanted to move the header down to the same position as the CONTENT but just ABOVE the news articles

can some one help me out? im pulling my hair out here been trying to do it for the past 6 hours :(

here is the code to my page tpl file

print $language " xml:lang=" print $language ">

print $head_title
print $head
print $styles
print $scripts

if ($logo) { print $base_path " title=" print t('Home') "> print $logo " alt=" print t('Home') " /> }

I've heard lots of great things about Zengine, but so far, the only theme I see out there is 'Zen Basic'. Are there more here/coming?

Sorry if this has been asked before; I wish there was an advanced search.

Thanks!
