Tables in webpages

Post by Mike »

This problem really has me confused.<p>How can I get a table to stretch across the entire page no matter what size, such as this site:<p>www.amd.com<p>
I can never seem to get rid of the border on between the frame and the window edge.<p>I use Dreamweaver MX. Is this a limitation of the software?<p>Thanks, Mike

I'll have to look this up, and its time to go to work. But something like <table width="100%" ...><p>the HTML4.01 spec at www.w3.org has the info you need. It can be downloaded so you don't have to go to the web every time you have a question.<p>C U L -

rereading para 2 sentence 2, I might have implied the wrong thing. I mean you can save the expense and time of connecting to the 'net and clicking to find what you want. Or waiting for someone to answer your question on the forum.<p>I tend to a kurt/brief as possible style, otherwise detailed explanations would turn a page into a book.<p>Ask all the questions you want, and don't be insulted if my answer seems "short" or "sharp".<p>Cheers,

OK thanks, thats one of the few things I can't figure out!<p>my p71,<p>I actually never got around to trying your code. Since it was this:<p><TD BACKGROUND="/fs_img/builder/builder21/yellow_lines.gif"><IMG SRC="/fs_img/spacer.gif"></TD><p>I think that the image was about 5 pix wide and about 2000 pix tall, so you would only see it repeat once.<p>Except I don't get that spacer.gif part.

The spacer.gif is used to make the table size correctly. That means that if the spacer.gif was 5x200 then the table would size to 5x200. This also means that the spacer.gif would have to be transparent so the user could see the background yellow_lines.gif.<p>You could also make the table size without using a spacer.gif by setting the table to width="100%". This would make the table autosize to 100% the width of the page.<p>Hope this helps in some way,

You need to put the following in the body tag and have the width of the table set to 100% <p>leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"<p>Eddie

leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"<p>Dreamweaver just does it for you.<p>Eddie
