I'm transferring a page from a framed format to a tabled format, but I'm running into a problem.<br />
<br />
How can you dynamically size a table so they work like frames? You know...with frames you can say (30,*,30), but how in cyberspace can you do that with tables?!<br />
<br />
Thanx muchly!!!<!--content--><table width="100%"><br />
<tr><br />
<td width="30"> </td><br />
<td> </td><br />
<td width="30"> </td><br />
</tr><br />
</table><br />
<br />
Though many would say that tables are not for layout...<!--content-->What would be the alternative to using tables for layout...keeping in mind not wanting to use frames either?<br />
<br />
Thanx.<br />
<br />
I would also like to make a comment on assistance through this forum.<br />
<br />
I've participated in many different forums on many different channels on many different sites, but I must say that this is the site in which I've received the most "educated" help and in the fastest amount of time. I just want to give everyone a big pat on the back for being both knowledgeable and quick to help others.<br />
<br />
Thanx again.<!--content-->Originally posted by stmasi <br />

Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content as this may present problems when rendering to non-visual media. Additionally, when used with graphics, these tables may force users to scroll horizontally to view a table designed on a system with a larger display. To minimize these problems, authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables.<br />
