Hey here's my code that i'm having a problem with

<body>
<div>
<table>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td width="650px">
<table style="width: 100%">
<tr id="box-top"><td style="height: 190px">
<center>
QUOTE
<div id="mainbar">
<table id="Table_01" width="601" height="97" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="8">
<img src="images/mainbar_01.png" width="571" height="8" alt=""></td>
<td rowspan="4">
<img src="images/mainbar_02.png" width="13" height="97" alt=""></td>
<td rowspan="4">
<img src="images/mainbar_03.png" width="17" height="97" alt=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="3">
<img src="images/mainbar_04.png" width="25" height="89" alt=""></td>
<td>
<img src="images/homepage.png" width="132" height="31" alt=""></td>
<td>
<img src="images/mainbar_06.png" width="5" height="31" alt=""></td>
<td>
<a href="voip/index.html"><img src="images/voip.png" width="132" height="31" alt=""></a></td>
<td>
<img src="images/mainbar_08.png" width="6" height="31" alt=""></td>
<td>
<a href="rdial/index.html"><img src="images/rapiddial.png" width="132" height="31" alt=""></a></td>
<td>
<img src="images/mainbar_10.png" width="7" height="31" alt=""></td>
<td>
<a href="contact/index.html"><img src="images/contact.png" width="132" height="31" alt=""></a></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="7">
<img src="images/menu.png" width="546" height="42" alt=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="7">
<img src="images/mainbar_13.png" width="546" height="16" alt=""></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

</center>
</td></tr>
<tr id="box-bottom"><td id="content">
<iframe src="html/home.html" name="Main" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" ALLOWTRANSPARENCY="true">
</iframe></td></tr>
<tr id="footer">
<td>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>

and here's the css for the main table
QUOTE
table { height: 100%; width: 100%; border-spacing: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; border-collapse: collapse;}
table tr { vertical-align: top; border-style:none;}


now my problem is table id="Table_01" stretches 100% width also and i don't want it to.. i also have a repeating image for a menu bar that extends underneath the table_01 that isn't showing up

any one understand what i mean i need table_01 to be a specific width not 100% so is there anyway to remove the 100% width from a specific table

i'll check back for answers in the morning... 12am here and i've been puzzled with the problem for a while now... thanks for help anyone.

Without an url of a page to see what you have so far, hard to understand what you mean. Can you post the url?

As for the background image to repeat, go see http://htmlhelp.com/reference/css/color-ba...ckground-repeat.

It should repeat... Maybe the box isn't large enough for it to do that. As Fredriek said, we need to see the real thing.

The reason things don't move when you add stuff is because you have positioned everything absolute. It will be where you've told it to no matter what. Don't use absolute positioning if there's no reason to and when you use it, use it with care. To position everything relative the edge of the browser window is asking for trouble.
