My webpage and screen resolutions

[HelenT]

Created a form in frontpage using a form and layers. Looks great on my
computers resolution...800 x 600 but is all over the place on any other...
(forgot to check this).

Is there any kind of quick fix for this? Can i redo it all in tables ... not
sure if forms work inside of tables.

Pls help.

Read this to discover that resolution really has very little to do with it -

Your problem is that the masthead and menu are part of a centering table.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:
collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="772" id="AutoNumber1" height="25"
align="center">

Remove this from that <table> tag's markup and see what happens -

align="center"

Yes, do the layout in tables. Forms work in tables also - tables are a
layout tool more than anything, so you can build a table within the <form>
and </form> tags and use colums and rows to make your form fields and field
titles/headings/labels line up and look nice, rather than using the space
bar or tab key and wishing the things would line up.

Can we use tables inside tables? And can we use layers inside tables?

 

[Murray]

Yes. No.

Never put an absolutely positioned element inside a table cell.

What will happen if we do? Put a layer inside a table? Also, Everytime I
try to insert a table in frontpage, it comes out the full size of the page.
For instance. I click on the insert table icon on the tool bar and pick 4
rows and 4 columns, but then it is super big, the whole size of my webpage.
It knocks everything out of place. Is there a main setting to fix this? The
tables use to insert small before. The main settings must have got messed up
some how and I don't how to fix it. Any suggestions? Thanks

Thank you.

I'll send Guido to hurt you. And you will inherit a rack of browser
problems as each browser tries to figure out where to start calculating
the offsets for the layer's position, and gets it wrong (usually).


In FP2003, when I do TABLE | Insert > Table, I see this on that busy
dialog panel (see snap). By setting the table to a fixed width rather
than a percent width, you may get better results.
