Width of Shared Boarders

[Mike R]

I am creating my first Web Site at 65, I set the layout table (against the
ruler) at 8ins, However although the contents of my page is spaced out, and
looks ok when I view it through my browser. I am restricted in the width of
the shared boarder to 5 ins. I was expecting the text to continue moving to
the right as I type in a sentence but it stays rigid. Can anyone help please.
( I have two referance books Stepbystep 2003 and Inside out 2003.

Don't use inches on the web - inches are a for print, and the web is
definitely not print. Use pixels for measurement. On *my* screen, 5 inches
is over half the entire browser width - not much left for the main content


Shared borders and layout tables cannot normally be used together, which is
a point of confusion in your post.

Shared borders will always be the minimum width required for the content
placed in them. If you need a fixed width for the shared border, then place
the content in a container (such as a table) and specify the width for the
table.
