" Full width" Table - 6/29/2002 9:44:15   
I am trying to get my table to fill the full width of the browser and I can find a way to do it. I just want the graphics etc to meet the edge of the browser. I always get a space around the edge. I have the table properties set to 100%, no padding.

I see that other people do it so I know it' s possible -- is it something to do with a " margin" attribute?

Thanks


Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Yep, it is definitely a margin attribute setting. In the opening <body> tag you' ll need the following:

leftmargin=" 0" topmargin=" 0" marginheight=" 0" marginwidth=" 0" rightmargin=" 0"

The first pair is recognized by IE, the second pair by NN. You' ll need both for cross browser compatibility. Unfortunately FP only sets the first when you go into Page Properties, so you' ll have to add in the second pair in HTML view. You' ll also need to add in the rightmargin attribute, just to keep things nice and tidy across the page.

Thanks Michael!

It boggles my mind how many things there are to know to get something to look the way you want.

If you really want your mind to be " boggled" - load the last three versions of IE, NN, and Opera... check out how your site looks in each of those!!!

Then try it on a Mac, then try on two or three different monitors...

Ahhh, the list goes on and on... But isn' t that what makes web design fun?

Bobby,

I' m feeling so overwhelmed right now at the thought of all those browsers and their peculiar quirks that I' m going to have to go and lie down for a week or two!

It can be a challenge, but don' t become disheartened.

It really comes down to simplifying your work. If you find something that doesn' t work in a particular browser, ask yourself " Do I really need that in my site?"

Does it really add to the content of functionality? Or do you like it because it looks cool?

Does it really fit the purpose or mission of the site?

If yes, then ask yourself if there is an easier way to do it... or simply another way that all the browsers can interpret.

It may mean going back to the drawing board, or opening yourself up to learning some different, and possibly more difficult ways to accomplish your goal... but the more you learn the better designer you' re going to be.

Keep this site bookmarked or in your favorites... you' ll find that the help from the members of this forum is invaluable. I would have given up in frustration long ago if not for the help of folks around here.

Keep your chin up!
