Tables

[Guest]

Hello Again Everyone!!!!

How in the world do you lock the size of a column? In other words, I want
to use a page layout where I'm using three columns. However, as soon as I
begin to type in the first cell of the first column the text manages to push
the other two column borders over to the right. There has to be a radio
button I'm forgetting to check. Could someone fill me in?

Make the columns fixed width instead of percentage width.

Steve;

Thanks for yoru help on this tables thing!!!! Will check out the plug in as
soon as I get chance. Thanks for the help.

Hm - what plug-in? In any case, I just wanted to add that setting the column
width in pixels won't work in all situations. It'll probably help, though.

No such thing - fixed width is really minimum width.

Setting the width of all the columns will cause text to wrap (percent or
fixed). As for minimum width, that applies only to content that has no white
space, such as long text with no white spaces, images, etc. The default
behavior of a td element is to grow unless restrained, and when restrained,
to wrap at white space.
