I redesigned my sites home page to use a table of text as the main menu. But I'm having trouble getting the columns to be proportionally alligned.

Take a look at http://www.ArtsNFlies.com

You'll see the left most column is the widest, then each column to the right gets progressively narrower. I want all the columns to be proportionally sized.

I've tried different alignments, different col widths, etc. Nothing worked,

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!!

Well if you want the columns all the same width, I believe this format will work.

ROW 1

ROW 2

ROW 3

ROW 4

This will span the table 100% of the browser width and then span each table row 25% of the table width.

If you want the first column bigger just go with...
40% 20% 20% 20% or something.

Hope this helps.

I had tried that but it didn't seem to work. I'll try it again however.

Hi,

I tried posting this afternoon, but aol was kind enough to kick me off repeatedly

Try starting a new table before the Unique Artwork row -- The TD may be inheirating the previous td's width.

I broke it into two tables and also worked out better column sizes.

Thanks to both of you for your ideas! Smiling
