Guest

I finally published my first website using frontpage and now my home page is
too wide for the viewer, my adsense gets cut off and you would have to scroll
over to see them, not very profitable! My website is at oxfordcredit.com, if
anyone can tell me how to fix this I would appreciate it alot, but remmeber
its my first site with this program, it needs alot of work still.

Kim - Instead of using percentage width tables, trying using a table with a
width of about 760 pixels.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" id="table2"
width="845" height="2068">

That 1 line is a killer!! Any website over about 760 pixels wide total
will have a scroll bar on at least 40% of the viewer's screens.

I was thinking that, too. However, I view on a 1024x768 screen and I still
have a horizontal scroll bar. I really couldn't find any fixed-width tables
that were wider than 1024px.

Thank you all for your input, I don't know what I would do without you all.
Now, which table do I have to change, the first one in the code?( This is how
in over my head I am) My first one says: <table border="0" width="100%"
id="table1">, any ideas?

no your main content table.

...right. And any table nested inside of it, with a width of more than about
760 px.

Also, if there are any table rows where side-by-side images add up to more
than 760 px, they need to be made smaller.

Cheers,

Does that mean that ever width element that says "100%" I should also chang
to "845"? Whenever I ad my adsense it enlarges the page again. Is there a
better way to ad adsense? A layer, table or something like that?

If your adsense thing is a graphic and it's too wide it will push out your
table.
