How do I format table headers with a specific design?

I'm working on an assignment where we have to create a website that is formatted similarly to a picture of a resume. The picture is here: link

I have most of the formatting correctly, but there are a couple things I can't figure out. First of all, how do I create a table header style similar to the one in the image? Also, how can I make the name and picture area into a block and add those two borders?

Oh, and how come my icons for my list turned out to be chinese characters, I copied the code for the sideways triangle, but it came out as that. And the codes weren't working for the phone/email either so I ended up using a picture of them instead.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Job Resume</title>
</head>

<style>
    body { 
        font-family: Arial;
        font-size: 12px;
        width: 800px;
    }
    table {
        border: 1px solid black;
        border-collapse: collapse;
    }
    th {
        text-align: left;
        background-color: lightblue;
        border: none;
        padding: 3px;
    }
    td {
        border: none;
        padding: 10px
    }
    ul {
    list-style: none;
    padding: 0px;
    }

    ul li:before {
    content: '\9654';
    margin: 0 1em;
    }
</style>

  • Line break is defined as <br> not </br>
  • <span> doesn't need to be inside <p> because you can write your text in <span> directly & it will show up.
  • You don't need to write <br> between everything, Just type spaces, HTML will ignore them. This is not python!

The Chinese text problem is here:

ul li:before {
    content: '\9654';
    margin: 0 1em;
}

Just delete :

ul {
    list-style: none;
    padding: 0px;
    }

    ul li:before {
    content: '\9654';
    margin: 0 1em;
    }

If you want using Bullet with symbol, you can use it:

For a circle:

ul {
    list-style-type: circle;
}

For a Square:

ul {
    list-style-type: square;
}

For using image:

ul {
    list-style-image: url('your-image.png');
}

You can't always use tables for design a layout on the website.

First, try learn some CSS for layout element, like margin, padding, float, or clear.

I hope this can help you.
