Right Shared Boarder Alignment

[Rich D]

I'm wanting to use Left, Top and Right Shared Boarders on my site redesign. I
have the masthead in the Top Shared Boarder and the Left Boarder contains a
table with the main navigation links. The body of each page is going to be in
a 720 pixel wide table. Is there a way to get the right shared boarder (which
will contain advertising) to be flush up to the right side of the main 720
pixel wide table? Right now, it's just sitting on the far side of my screen,
leaving a bunch of white space between it and the table...

Thanks

This layout will cause left-right scrolling in a 800x600 browser (used
by well over a third of browsers). To eliminate this, the body should
not be larger than 710px minus the total width of left and right
borders, that is around 400-500 pixels.

Make the right border a left aligned table, with a fixed width, and
place the content in that table. The shared border will still extend
to the right of the browser, but will have the appearance of being on
the left.
Similarly, a right aligned, fixed width table in the left border will
give the page an appearance of being centred in large browser
viewports.

Thanks for the answer.

However, won't this still cause white space to appear between the body and
the right boarder with browsers set to anythinger higher than 800X600 pixels?

FP Shared borders (left/right) have a built in 24 px spacer cell that can not be deleted
- Use an Include page (or in FP 2003 a DWT) if you want more control
