basic html table question

prendo · 03-03-2003, 03:11 AM

Although I'm not really a newbie to html I don't think I ever fully got to grips with complex table structuring and would appreciate some help with this basic design I'm working on.

You can see it at this link.

The problem is that the buttons on the top nav bar (blue) won't shift over to the absolute right, even with div align right applied.

Can anyone see whats going wrong from the code.

Thanks.

first off you need a right margin ( maybe a bottommargin too ) parameter in your body tag:

PHP Code:


			
<body leftmargin="0" rightmargin="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

then to stretch the table across allthe way, you need to define the table width as '100%'

a table can only be as wide as the table it is inside .. so you might have to define your very first table as 100%

PHP Code:


			
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

if this doesn't work, let me know .. i can look into it further later.

your page design/layout looks excellent btw
