It won't stay the way I designed it!

[John Berg]

I make up a page with table(s) and make it not to exceed 600 pixels wide.
Then I add a .dwt top and left margin which increases it to 800 pixels wide.
Suddenly it ballons up to 960 pixels and acts like a fist-full of paydo,
squirting out between my fingers but whenever I push it in one place, it
squirts out another.

Please look at www.sea-room.com. The first page is a flash page designed
to load quickly. It should be a table with several rows but I have no
control over the width of the second row which is brown. What have I done?

You need to design the DWT to have the overall page margin that you want, and then you would make
the 600 pixel table/cell area of the DWT a editable region.

I only took a quick look at the source, but is this snippet what you
intended?

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
style="border-collapse: collapse" width="950" id="table2">

This is the table containing the words "Click for: A Community of
Interests." It is nested inside the brown table cell so it is pushing
it out to 950px wide plus the padding/spacing in the main table.

There's something in your DWT that's affecting it. Is there a table in the
DWT that's 800pix wide - that would have an impact.

A collective "thank you." I note the error was found by using the "object"
code and that all my effort to fix it at the "source" code level failed to
find the error. Is it the collective wisdom to debug at the object code
level?

The answer is always in the code, you know? 8)
