This prevents text from wrapping in table cells. Instead, the cell will strecth to fit the text. The cell will never me smaller than the defined sizes.

The valid options are off,virtual(IE),physical(IE),soft(NN),hard(NN). A value of off will prevent text from wrapping, and you will have horizontal scrollbars. A value of soft or virtual will wrap text and will remove line breaks submitted to the server. A value of hard, or physical will wrap text and include line breaks submitted to the server. Off is the default for NN, and I think physical is the default for IE.

Here are some more for everyone...

I could probably just make a 1x1 transparent gif in photoshop also right?

Some browsers will collapse cells... to prevent this, you need to 'brace' it with something. Fireworks uses a transparant 'shim.gif' and creates a 1px high row at the top and 1px wide collumn on the left of all its tables. You could try that...

(PS - HTML fixed, and I see a typo in my first post. uh oh! )

I am pretty sure I've tried the 100% in the middle one and it made the 140 and 100 too small. I haven't tried the * even though I know that's how to do it with frames. I will try both of those. Thank you for your help.

Mark,
You have answered a lot of my questions. Thank you very much. I'm sure there will be more to come.

Thank you too detox.

sorry... it's there, but the HTML isn't getting escaped properly yet...

< table >
 < tr>
  < td width=140 >< /td >
  < td width=100% >< /td >
  < td width=100 >< /td >
 < /tr >
< /table >

Easiest way to do this is like this:

declare the width of the middle cell as width="*"

then the cell automatically resizes to fit the screen

thanks, the 1st one didn't come through. Thanks for the margin thing

<table >
 <tr>
  <td width=140></td>
  <td width=100%></td>
  <td width=100> 
 </tr>
</table>

2. I don't know. I guess the 1x1 img that was suggested in the other thread will have to do.

3. Use style=margin: 0" It works in IE, haven't tried NN.

< form style="margin: 0" >
< input type=submit >
< /form >
