using tables.... DRIVING ME INSANE! how do i use pictures?

Hello, i am using tables to put the layout of my design into my dreamweaver web site...
I have done the classic of cutting up my pictures to peices to put inside the table using photoshop (cropping them to exact measurements .... But everytime the table wont let me move it to where i tell it to! I cant take control of one cell it always wants to do everything to everything else. its killing me because my site design has a line going like this:


-----|-----------------------
......|

If you used CSS you wouldn't even need to use graphics, since they are just lines...

You could use something like this to generate the CSS for you, then just put in your Logo.
