How do I set tables and cells to automaticlly resize in browsers

[SuJen]

I am having a problem with a web page that my client says she has to "scroll
to the right to see all of the content". Her browser is set at 800 x 600. I
have designed the site to be within those margins.. HOW (if possible) can I
get her pages to auto -resize for either her or anyone who see's the site.

I view it thru a 17 inch monitor an its fits perfect. She has a 17 inch
monitor an had to scroll. I am going nuts trying to figure out what the
problem is. ANY help would be so appreciated
Here is the URL for the problem

Hi SuJen~

To "auto-resize," you'll need to have your table width set to 100% (or
less), not to absolute pixels. Likewise, you'll need at least one column of
the table's cell width set to %, and the remaining columns, if not set to a
percentage, set to a total that will allow display of around 700px (small
enough that the variable width column can display).

As a P.S. - you need the width set to 760 or 770 of a table to view in 800 x
600 resolution, as you must make allowances for the vertical scroll bar.
Also, if you go with fixed width of 760 or 770. note that the visitor in 800
x 600 resolution will still have a horizontal scroll bar if they have their
"favorites" or "history" or any other left-hand pane open.

Hi Linda~

This unfortunately is not an HTML thing - it is a database/asp coding thing.
If you need a membership database, it will need to be constructed, with all
the parameters you need.

Sorry - wrong reply to - I'm doing my replies within the browser, not the
newsgroup, and it seems to do this from time to time (ok, it's an operator
issue, NOT a program issue).

Teri I am not sure exactly what you mean.. and I don't mean to sound stupid.
I tried to follow these instructions and worked on this page:
http://www.bonnybabies.com/babybliss1.htm (not sure if I still did it right)
I reposted it an contacted the client she tells me that she STILL has to
scroll 1.5 inches to the right.. and does not have any thing else open to
view. What am I doing wrong.. can you see it thru the "VIEW SOURCE" and tell
me?

I am running IE at 1024 X 768 and I do NOT get the scroll
bars in your original page. I do however get them with
your revised page.

I am guessing your problems lies in your content. Even
though you have set the tables at fixed width (original)
and 100% width (revised), these are only used by the
browser as minimums. If your content exceeds this the
browser will automatically make the table large enough to
accomodate the contained content.

I would check the pixel size requirements of your various
graphics. Also total those that are lined up horizontally
on your page.

Your page content (images and footer table of 800px) are forcing the page to be larger than 760 wide
Plus watch your "stack up" of tables
Putting a 800 px table in a 90% table results in the overall table being larger than 800 px
