I've made allot of tables but I made one today in FP03 and anytime I try to
type into the first cell the cell expands as soon as I start typing. Can
someone check it and tell me why it's doing this and how I can correct it?
Thanks and the link is below.

Nothing is wrong w/ your table
Your table is 309 px wide w/o any cell size so the cells will adjust to try to fill the 309 px until all cells have content
- you can set cell sizes to prevent that
But All table/cell sizes are minimums and the table may adjust to be larger if your cell content requires a larger table (because
the content can't wrap or you insert images that are too large

Thanks for your reply. I don't get how you saw that my cell was 309 px wide
unless you are just measuring it in html. When I open cell properties there
is nothing in "specify size" the box has no check mark in it. Therefore I
understand that to mean that I can move the cell width if I want by dragging
the cell margin bar. My cell and table properties are set to default. I
must be missing something can you explain further?

Your TABLE is 309...how can we see it?...anyone can just View Source or open
your page in FP.

ps...Don't drag table or cell borders to resize them.

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
style="border-collapse: collapse" width="309">

Resizing tables or cells by dragging the borders will set a height
attribute for the table as well as the width for the cells. Table
height is illegal HTML, and will cause problems in some browsers. Use
cell properties to set the width of the cells.

Without explicit sizes, cell width will be shared between each cell in
proportion to the cells content. A cell with lots of content (compared
to other cells in the row) will be given a larger width than cells with
little (or no) content.

Thanks for all the replies but the point is this table is not reacting the
same way as all of the other tables I've made in web with FP. I created a
table with 2 rows and 4 columns wide at 95 percent. In the past when I start
typing in the first cell the text would fill the cell up to the margin. If
the text filled the line it (FP) would increase the height of the cell and
not the width. The cell would grow in height and not in width. Thats not
what's happening here in this table. As soon as I type a letter or letters in
to the first cell it drives the right margin of the cell toward the other
cells squashing them into nothingness. I don't know how to make this more
clear. There are a few hundred tables in my FP created website. I created
each one of them.
So, again, why is this table not reacting the same?

Did you try setting a cell width?

If you put content in the other cells, they will sort themselves out.
Or, set cell sizes as well as the table size. Use cell properties to
set the cell sizes.

Your table is behaving exactly as it should.
