FP2003 Crashing...table too long?

G

Guest

I'm trying to create a table and a cell within the table that are quite long (between 20k-60k pixels). It appears to be the reason why FP is crashing. Anyone aware of either a table or cell size limit that may cause this? FP98 was able to create a table this long, so I'm surprised 2003 would crash due to long tables/cells. Thanks.

Firstly, you seem to be confusing file sizes and table/cell sizes.

HTML tables sizes are measured with width and height dimensions and the
measurement unit is pixels or a percentage (of the screen resolution size),
"K's". but I expect you already know that :).

It could be that I'm looking at a "deeper picture" here than the surface of your
query, but if you really mean "20k-60k" (as in 20,000 to 60,000) pixels then
Frontpage should be able to handle it.

Does the width you want really have to cause users to scroll sideways or if it's
the height you're talking about why not just set it to 100%?

There must be something else causing it to crash. I just tried creating a table
60,000 pixels wide with no trouble whatsoever.

Maybe it's a bug in Fp2003 elsewhere.....does it only crash when you try to
create a table of this size, or has it crashed in other instances when you are
doing other things with it? (other functions of Frontpage, or only when you try
to create a 60,000 pixel table?).

Have you created a smaller/shorter table and does it keep crashing?
