Question About Tables!

the_furious1
How can I make tables on my web page to be static (always same size)?
I want my page to always be the same size, I don't want my text to adjust to visible on the page when you make window smaller. I want horizontal scroll bar to appear!!!
Help me!!!!

you can just use the style attributes for the table to specify the size. that way the table will not adjust.

example
<table style="width:200px"><tr>
<td style="width:100px"></td>
<td style="width:100px"></td>
</tr></table>

the px after the number is pixels. there are different ones but I find pixels is the easiest to work with. The other one I use (but not as often) is %.

in this example, you will have a table that is 200 pixels wide with 2 columns that are 100px wide each.

By the way... I hate horizontal scroll bars. They suck ASS. Vertical is ok...

Vertical are fine, it can get annoying if there's so little information on a page that there isn't one. Horizontal scroll bars are really annoying though, especially when used along with vertical.

Thanks for the tip!!!
The reason why I'm doing this is that my background is different color where the menu and contents are, so when you make the window smaller my contents goes to the menu part of the page. And I don't like it!!!
Thanks again!!!

yes, the horizontal scrollbar is very annoying...
use % of the screen in place of 'px' .

As for ur reason or background, u can use div tags and make background to fit only that div...

css is a very powerful thing.. if u can use it just right... try out... u will only be happier if u cud do it without fixing width and of course w/o horizontal scrollbar...

Cheers

Wait, you want the tables to adjust to the browsers resolution?

So if your browser is made (by hand) smaller, the tables have to automatically adjust to the browsers height and width...and the text must stay the same, with horizontal scrollbars appearing

Then you have to use % instead of px

<table width="10%" height="20%">
<tr>
<td style="background:..."></td>
<td width="" height="">your text</td>
</tr>
</table>

That should adjust the table itself to your browsers res, while the text stays on the specified width and height.

Not completely sure but it's worth a shot wink.gif

Please. Do not use invisible tables to provide layout. Luckily the invisible tables time is over. It is time to move to CSS. The same static effect can be provided with CSS. Please consider moving to CSS.

Yeh use the % that way it changes size depending on browser and other stuff.
