Newbie page layout question.

Hi,

When I go to ;

http://www.universalinsights.com.au/

the page width on my computer is fine. When I go to ;

http://www.universalinsights.com.au/whenwhere.html

I have to scroll left to right.

If I wanted the second page to be as wide as the first then where/how
would I change it please ?

TIA.

Regards, John.

John,

For starters, the first page has table width set to 100%.
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"
height="100%">

It has a graphic 362 px in size, after a quick look I think this is the
smallest width the table can have:
<img src="media/heading2000.gif" width="362" height="219">

On the 2nd page your set the table with to a fixed value:
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="906">

It has a 532 px graphic in a table cell, and a fixed width table cell,
limiting the minimum size the table can have.
<td align="left" valign="top" width="611">
<img border="0" src="file:///D:/Jean/Clipart/ac554.gif" width="532"
height="35">
Plus you have the navigation menu to the right of the page.

I would recommend cleaning up the html, stuff like this: I would
recommend learning CSS. You could reduce the page size and make it a lot
more readable using CSS.

<span style="color:blue">10AM until 5PM<br></span><font face="Arial
Rounded MT Bold" color="#FF00FF"><span style="color: blue">Saturday
&amp; <span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:blue">Sunday 26th &amp;
27th&nbsp; FEBRUARY 2005</span></span></font></b><font face="Arial
Rounded MT Bold" color="#FF00FF"><span style="color:
blue"><o></span></font><span style="color:blue"><font
color="#FF00FF"></o></font></span></p>

Good Luck,
Mike

Many thanks, that is exactly the information I wanted. I didn't code
the original pages and hadn't even noticed the tables. I got lost
with all the "width" info and hadn't noticed that almost everything is
referring to graphics widths.

Yes, starting from scratch and using CSS would seem like the way to
go. Though I haven't had time to thank you earlier don't think I don't
appreciate your help. It IS very much appreciated. Thank you.
