acker1 -> Page different in preview (4/21/2005 23:46:11)

I am updating my index page and added a column for 2005. I get it the way I want and then in preview it is different. Both previews--in browser & clicking the tab at the bottom. It was OK before I added the 2005 column.
I have screenshots of both here:  http://home.earthlink.net/%7Eacker1/photoalbum/
Thanks
DICK

it would help if we could see the actual web page so we can look at the code behind it.

Here it is: My website
It is OK as posted now. This is happening as I'm doing the update.
Thanks

I still can't see your previews. I keep getting the errors above.

As to your page, you've pretty much taken up the enitre width with the columns you have, adding another one is going to break things and I'm not surprised you're getting different results in different previews.

Each of your cells has a width specified 
<td width="22%" height="23" align="left"><!--mstheme--><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><b><u>Logs--1999 & 2000</u></b><!--mstheme--></font></td>
    <td width="16%" height="23" align="left"><!--mstheme--><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><b><u>Logs--2001</u></b><!--mstheme--></font></td>
    <td width="16%" height="23" align="left"><!--mstheme--><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><b><u>Logs--2002</u></b><!--mstheme--></font></td>

    <td width="28%" height="23" align="left"><!--mstheme--><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><b><u>Logs--2003</u></b><!--mstheme--></font></td>
    <td width="36%" height="23" align="left"><!--mstheme--><font face="Arial, Helvetica"><b><u>Logs--2004</u></b><!--mstheme--></font></td>
    <td width="37%"


and it comes to a total of 155%. The browsers are going to take one look at that, stick a finger in the air and go EH?!

I suggest you format your cell properties to remove the widths and let it size itself or change them to add up to 100.

You also need to remember that if you have long words in a cell, no matter what width you specify, the cell will always resize itself to the biggest thing in it. (Applies to pictures as well)

e.g. Apr'00--Sept'00 will be classed as all one word as there are no spaces.

Jaybee-- Thanks for the reply. I will try that tomorrow. Not sure what you mean but I'll look around the program. Maybe I should just start another set of columns? :>)
I don't have the preview on the net. Just doing the previews on my puter.

The link to the screenshots you gave up the top just gives me errors.

To change the cell properties:

  • Right click in the cell
  • select Table properties or cell properties
  • a box will pop with all the info about whatever you've picked
  • you can select the exact height and width or untick them so it defaults or choose % instead of px
  • then move on to a cell in the next column and so on
Depends on how you've set up your tables as to how many of these you'll need to do but eg. in a 3 column tabl I'd do the top cell of each column and then check the settings for the table itself.

Jaybee--
Thanks again for responding. Got too many irons in the fire right now. Will try what you said in a couple of days.
