April 1st?

It depends on the table, without an url, I can only offer general advice.

If you have a table, in general, without text content in it, Netscape collapses the cells. Period. Fool or no fool, that's what happens.

However, I am glad you resolved the problems.

Eureka!

OK, thanx for the quick reply.

"In order to force a cell without width to open to a variable, dependent on the window size, size, you need to have a minimum of 101 characters of continuous data (text) in the cell."

Hmm, not trying to be rude but that looks like an April 1 solution to me . Tried it and it won't work. Propably because there's a large image in the second .

But I solved it in another way:
I set the table width to 100% and set the bodymargins to 2.5%. The result is exactly what I need.

Thanx anyway!

95% of what is what you need to consider. Is it 95% of the space that's left? no. It's 95% of the table width.

So it's not going to work.

What you need to do is have enough guts in the table to expand it, and only use pixel values for the cells you want to be certain sizes. For Netscape compatibility, you may require spacer images to force the cells open.

In order to force a cell without width to open to a variable, dependent on the window size, size, you need to have a minimum of 101 characters of continuous data (text) in the cell.
