it01y2 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 I am currently new to css and html, i need to scale the table and pictures so it is 100% of the window width. Here's the code: <table border="0" width="100%" id="table1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="01%"> <img border="0" src="sdmenu/LEFTBOTTOM.GIF" width="10" height="25"></td> <td width="481" style background="sdmenu/main2.GIF"> <p align="right"><b><font size="1" face="Arial"> | <a target="rtop1" href="mainframe.htm">Home</a> | <a target="rtop1" href="gallery.htm">Gallery</a> | <a target="rtop1" href="aboutus.htm">About Us</a> | <a target="rtop1" href="contactus.htm">Contact Us</a> |</font></b></td> <td width="317" style background="sdmenu/main2.GIF"> <p align="right"><font style="font-size: 8pt"> <font face="Times New Roman">Š </font>Rockin and rollin 2007</font></td> <td width="1%"><img border="0" src="sdmenu/RIGHTBOTTOM.GIF" width="10" height="25"></td> </tr></table> I have uploaded it onto this website for testing http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/Any ideas?

sonesay 7 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 the margins and padding are left on by default causing the spaces. these values are different for each type of browser so setting it to always to 0 is best practice and then assigning any margins or paddings for other elements as needed <body margin='0' padding='0'> that code should do it. Your also not using css its just html code by the way. Best way to format and style your webpage is using CSS.w3schools.com is a great site to start out learning.good luck.

jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 Width of 100% on the table will cause the table to be 100% of the *container* it resides in.And some Browsers handle width to be only as wide as the content contained inside it.We would need a link to the page or a posting of the entire page to assist further.
