Hi
I was using this code for a table <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Home</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body> <table border="1" width="1037" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2" width="394"> <p align="right">Welcome to Crazed Climbing Competition</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="97" height="105"valign="top"> Home ←<p> <a href="climbing_locations.htm"><font size="4">Climbing Locations</font></a></p> <p><a href="contact_us.htm"><font size="4">Contact Us</font></a><p> <a href="history_of_rock_climbing.htm"><font size="4">History of Rock Climbing</font></a><p> <a href="links_page.htm"><font size="4">Links Page</font></a></td> <td width="291" valign="top"> <p align="Top"> <font face="Arial Unicode MS"> <font size="4" color="#FF0000">W</font><font size="4">elcome to the Crazed Climbing Competition website. This page is your gateway to all the information you will need to know about the competition. To find out where the competition is held please visit the <!--Main cell--></font></font></td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> When I tried to write in the main cell the writing would go a quarter of the way across then it would go underneath as if someone pressed enter. WHY? I've asked my friends but they can't help. Thankyou HLA91 |

That is because you have assigned a width of 291px to the main cell. If you assign it a width like that, text will fall to the next line once it reaches the end of the 291px.
Removing width="291" from the <td> will fix it. |

I'd remove all widths. Now you say the whole table should be 1037 pixels (which is too wide for a fixed design). The first row should be 394 pixels. The second row should be 97 + 291 = 388 pixels. That doesn't add up at all.
You could make the whole table 100% or 75% or whatever. For the navbar you could also use a percentage. You can use pixels if you prefer, but 97 pixels isn't much on my standard sized screen. The other cells don't need a width. |
