formating column

[CD]

I used a generic 3-column template that I opened in FP to
build my website.

I have a column-wide cell at the top and in the middle of
the left column to separate two sets of navigation
buttons.

I have to convert all of my buttons from the applet Hover
buttons to regular buttons that I have made in a table.

I am having two problems:
1. Making the left column a uniform width. I would like
it to be set at a percentage so that different size
screens will view it better. Can't get it to do that. I
finally resorted to designating 165 pixels wide but even
then different pages come out with different widths and
then the column-wide cells don't span the whole column
which leads to me second problem.

2. I can't get the column-wide cells to span the entire
column.

I have spent WAY too much time on this! I really
appreciate your help!

Would someone like to make me a template so I can revise
my whole website? It's over 80 pages.

You're doing fine.

You still have Java running on that site though.

If you're REALLY pressed for time, you may want to consider buying a template...there are lots of good ones available (some even free). 90% of your work would be done and you can get back to whatever you really wanna be doing.

Just a thought.

Don't worry about your LEFT column size...it's the middle and the right ones you need to worry about...and to me it looks ok right now.

There are column sizing problems in the nested tables. This is one
example:
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFCCFF" width="23%">
&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
where the single column is only 23% of the width of the table it's in.
There are other similar errors involving 95% widths of cells in single
column tables.
