Page Formating

[JCO]

I have a page, on my site, that won't format like the rest of my site.
I want my tables to resize at 98% as the rest of my site. There must be
something, that I can't find, that is stopping my page from resizing
correctly.

This page is still in work so I have one table set to "Autofit".

If you dragged a table border it will break the table's expandibility, it sets the column to fixed at whatever your resolution is...go back and check that they are set for percentage.

You have some nested tables with each declaring a fixed width value.

I would delete the entire section that goes off screen and start over.

Thanks, I see that now.

Often wondered about this reply. As long as I set my tables using the radio butto
for percent, it remains as percent even after a drag. hmmmmmmm........

I have also noticed with FP2003 that many of the times it keeps the
percentages too, however, not consitenly. I end up checking everything a
thousand times anyway.
Thanks for you reply

Most of the time I just switch to HTML / Code view when working with tables to manage the widths,
since I use both % and fixed

I'd have to defer to the gurus on this one. But, I know if I drag a table border it seems to set the border to fixed depending on screen resolution at the time. Maybe when you set it manually it remains as you set it? All I know is dragging can be a drag

Thanks Thomas. I always respect your inputs here, however, what is the point of purchasin
a WYSIWYG editor program if you have to go into HTML for simple stuff? That's overkill no
It shouldn't change things. If it does, then it's a bug and needs to be fixed

Never paid attention to this in earlier versions. Now using 03, and that may be the "fix".

Most people who are familiar with html always switch to code view and double check what
they have done.
I always do, and I always will for the simple reason that I can usually detect errors
before they are published.

Even though FrontPage does an excellent job of correcting errors, some can always slip by
and will result in slow page loading, things not looking quite right, etc, etc.

You need to realize that a browser checks for and compensates for html errors. The only
way you will know it is when pages load slow, features are buggy and so on.

It's all part of learning html. I don't trust any WYSIWYG editor never have, never will,
and I have FP2002, FP2003, and Visual Studio installed on this machine. ( and quite often
with all 3 running at the same time )

Any editor tries to determine what the user is trying to do, and compensates as best it
can for simple user errors.

As a simple exercise, download and install CSE html validator lite version. Then go to
one of your favorite web sites, view source, save it to the desktop as an html file, open
in CSE and run the validation. You'll be amazed.
I've done it with CNN and emailed the CNN web master. ( who actually answered my email )

I actually prefer to work in HTML / Code view over Normal view once the page is structure the way I
want it to look as it is faster then clicking thru menus.

This is not the case with FP2003. Not sure what you are using.
If drag a table or cell that is set to 98%, the percent stays selected but
the 98 changes to whatever I dragged it too.

Who knows, this may be a 2003 fix, I don't know.

I'd have to defer to the gurus on this one. But, I know if I drag a table
border it seems to set the border to fixed depending on screen resolution at
the time. Maybe when you set it manually it remains as you set it? All I
