Table Width

[Manzanita]

Not a major problem.  Just a nit-picky one.  The only reason I'm even bringing it up is because there's a thread just for this stuff.  The fixed table width causes the page to extend past the right edge of my screen.  I'm using 800 x 600 pixel screen res.  Looking at the html, the table width is fixed at 800 pixels.  Since pages display with a little padding on the left and right edges of a table there is a little bit running past the right edge of my screen.

I don't know if that's something that can be changed.  If I were making a page like this, I'd try to set the table width at a percentage so it would size itself independent of screen resolutions, set maybe a few columns at fixed widths that needed to be a certain amount of pixels wide, and leave at least one column unfixed, and see what that looked like.  Having designed web pages, I know it's sometimes impossible to set a page where it looks halfway decent at all screen resolutions.

I agree.  I didn't write this from scratch, and didn't realize that.  Let me see what I can do.

Could you post a screen print?  It should look fine on anything over 800 x 600.

Can you adjust the table width to be 100% instead of fixing it at 800 pixels?  It sure looks skinny when viewed on 1280 x 1024 screens.

Is it any better now?

[Cybenator]

Yes, much better for me....  :GRN>

Fills the screen up nicely.

Looks fantastic on this Dell 21" Ultrasharp flatscreen !!!

It looks great now.  I like the background, too.  Thanks for your troubles.  I know it's a pain sometimes tweaking these things.  You've got it looking nice.
