How do I make my text not affect the width of my table?

**Katashen** · 12-22-2004, 11:27 PM

See my site to see what I mean:
freewebs.com/laydie_lenne/test.htm

I'm pretty sure there's a code to set the width, if so, can anyone tell me what it is?
And if not, is there another solution to fix my probem?

Please help me as soon as possible, Katashen.

Hi Katashen,

You are already using it here; <td width=17%> although that would be better as <td width="17%">. Just do that again in the other table and change 17% to 200 or something. You might have to play with it to get it right.

This wasn't part of your question but I wasn't sure if you knew or not so I thought I'd offer this. Your html should always start with <html>. There are doctypes and other things to know as well but at the very least you should have that. Here is a basic template;

-doctype declaration- If you know it, using the wrong one could be worse than none at all
<html>
<head>
<title></title>

Meta tags, linked documents or scripts like css or javascript

</head>
<body>

Content goes here

</body>
</html>

I only wanted to say this because some vital stuff is missing from the source code on your site. If you knew all this already please dont take offense as none was intended.

Cheers,

Okie, thanks for all the info, and dw I'm totally not offended, as you can see I'm an HTML newbie.
