I'm using a layout table to create a background that can be used for
various content on a content management server-based website. My
problem is that the table-design does not behave properly:

I want [1:2] to adjust its length to the title, NOT by the length of
[2:2], but it does and it always gets too long. Instead, I would prefer
[2:4] to adjust its length to [2:2].

Psedo code below



<TABLE fixed width>

<TR>

[1:1]<TD background=image of CORNER does not tile | fixed size></td>

[1:2]<TD background=image of border tile | fixed height>
Title(undefine length, got max)</TD>

[1:3]<TD background=image do not tile| fixed size> </TD>

[1:4]<TD background=image of border tile | fixed height Length of
cell is depending on length of "A lot of text"in cell [2:2] > </td>
[1:5]<TD background=image Of CORNER do not tile| fixed size></td>

</TR>

<TR>
[2:1]<TD background=image Of BORDER tile:y | fixed width></td>
[2:2]<td colspan =3>
<TABLE>
<tr>
<td FIXED WIDTH=size of pictures >
PICTURE
PICTURE
PICTURE
</TD>
<td fixed width, got max>
A lot of text
</td>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>

[2:3]<TD background=image Of BORDER tile:y | fixed width>
</td>

</TR>

<TR>

[3:1]<TD background=image Of CORNER do not tile| fixed size></td>

[3:2]<TD colspan=3 background=image of border tile |fixed height
length of cell is depending on text in cell below > </TD>

[3:3]<TD background=image Of CORNER do not tile| fixed size></td>

</TR>

1: Showing the psuedo code is meaningless. One needs to share an url
displaying the problem.

2: Prepair thyself for a wicked tongue lashing about the use of
tables for layout.

Yea but we aren't (1) so they will see it.

(1) Well originally I posted from my reader, but now I am at the office
and have to post from google. But the point is, they will eventually
see the thread (2)

(2) Well everyone but barabra, as the only people she has not killfiled
are using google, and she blocks them...

Those should be clever enough not to respond to posts they'd have
killed were they at home using their favourite killfilter enabled

Here is a link to the site: http://www.lorensbergs.com/lor/solutions

On the page there are two frames called "about netloan" and "features"

I want the length of the cell to adjust to the title. Today I solve the
problem by hardcoding width of the <td>-tag (eg width=60 in "feature"
and width=120 in "about netloan").

I also like to know why the page align left (instead of center) in
firefox.

Best regards,
Nicole

Bob's Pipe! This thing makes worse code than FrontPlague !


If you want to fix this, ditch that abominable editing tool and lern
some HTML. There is just _no_ point in us wasting time quibbling over
the minor details.

And I have no idea how I did that. No matter what I do (add one or two
spaces, use less or more than one 'carridge return' after the
dash_dash_space. In the example one can see before sending to usenet,
the space _is_ there. Somehow it gets lost between looking at the
example and arriving on a news server.
