if yo ugo to www.theblackdog.com notice how the middle cell of the table varies with the width of the browser, but the 2 end cells stay the same. And when you make the browser window smaller, it only collapses to 450 pixels or so without squeezing the end cells. Can somone tell me how to reproduce this table behaviour? thanks..

While viewing that site from IE, do File Menu | Edit with FP then you can
look at how they have accomplished this with nested tables.

When I try that I get an error,
"The specified file or website does not exist"
Maybe they have a lock on it or something?

Hi Jimmy,
first set your margins to 0
<BODY LEFTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0" MARGINHEIGHT="0">
then sling a 100% 3 column table on the page with left and right cell widths
set -
<table width=100% border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
<tr>
<td width=150>left column</td>
<td>centrecolumn</td>
<td width=150>right column</td>
</tr>
</table>
