Thanks Stefan, for taking the time to offer suggestions and instructions.
There's certainly more to learn.
In setting the widths, my intent was to get the table cells to display with
the same width for uniformity (although I know I wasn't there yet). If I
the cell width to 100%, the columns each display different widths than the
others. However, I did changed them this evening (Friday, actually). I set
them to have "no" set width (instead of 100%) and that seems to have done
the trick for me. Is that a problem or wrong? I had previously added cell
spacing (under format borders) ... to increase the width of cells that only
contained text (i.e., Main Page or Contacts) so that the text didn't lay
immediately beside the cell border. Is there a better way to accomplish
this ... a uniform look, that is?
I've removed empty columns but not I'm reluctant to remove empty cells,
because this site is in the midst of being expanded. I find it easier to
add entire columns (as opposed to adding a cell). I originally created this
site with one page and that's how it was until a week ago.
On the naming of files directories ... I just realized that it's the files
in my images directory that have the spaces. I was careful with my html
files, but missed the files in the images directory. I'll remove the
spaces. It's rather late, so I'll look after the file names over the
weekend.
I was checking the links on Thursday evening and did find a couple of
problems. I think I've got them all fixed now.
Thanks again for your time. I do appreciate it. I just hope I can do your
comments justice.

1) in your Topnav page your main table is set to 59% instead of 100%
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse:
collapse" width="59%" id="table1">
2) remove the empty cells before and after your actual menu cells
3) your top frame is set to 23% which is too small for an 800x600 window
(requires an unnecessary vertical scroll bar) - set it to
fixed PX ~ 15-20 px larger than your button image height
FYI
Many of the inline style are not supported by all browsers
PS
remove all spaces from file/folder names - illegal html and breaks links,
and double check your links
| Hi Mr. B.,
| The url is:
http://members.shaw.ca/cchoir
| I did put the links in a table (across the header) and
| certainly tried "not" to set the heighth and width. I'm
| still learning this stuff, so your comments are welcome.
| It's a volunteered to do for that church (an unusually
| fun/crazy place). I sing in their choir and originally
| put it together just to keep the choir informated. It
| took on a new dimension when I was asked to expand it to
| incorporate the other groups. This is good for me ...
| forces me to take it to the next level. I certainly need
| to find an efficient way to economize on links (but can't
| seem to pull myself away from putting some sort of graphic
| in there - might have to change my thinking).
| Thanks for your help. Diana
