Alrighty, first hello everyone. I have two questions regarding tables that I need help with.

1. On my site I have a "master" table [which is invisible] that I am putting two other tables within, sort of nesting them. Now I have the master table at 75% width, and then the first table within that is 20% [this is in relation to the master table] and I need to have a SPACE or GAP between the other table I want to insert. If I make the other table say 70% width, when you view in the browser it still touches the other table which is 20% width, when in theory it shouldn't. Any help!?

2. How do you make the height of the table stay the same no matter what browser/resolution it is viewed in. The width adjusts according due to the percentage factor. However, when using pixels [which I think I need to] for the height, on some browsers there is a LOT of empty space at the bottom of the table. Any help!?

I appreciate you all listening, and hopefully helping me out. Thanks a ton!


Cheers,

Shane

hi!


1.
table percentages really dont work like that.
table are messy.
thats why most designer are moving on to using css.
it allows you much greater control of your web page design layout.
i suggest you look into it.
a quick fix for your question would be to stick an in an invisible gif image.
make this the width that you desire...make it the match the background color.

2.
again...messy to do with tables.
you can stick in an 'invisible' gif image to hold the height dimension.
make it the same color as the background.

the final word is 'learn css'...it will amaze you.
here is the best place to start:
