Non re-sizable tables?

Hi,

I dont know exactly what it is called or I might have used the search feature....

http://glowhost.com

At one point this page was a rediculous 93kb. But I didnt really matter for me as I am on broadband....

What I did like about the page before I removed about 1200 (literally) redundant tags was that when a user went to resize the text, the tables remained static. Now they expand\contract when someone resizes the text [ctrl+wheel on yer mouse]

I am guessing that I can fix it with a stylesheet but I really have no idea as I kind of stumbled onto it on the last re-design of the site.

Thanks I A

you have width=100% so it will always expand to screen size etc, to fix it you need to set the width to a fixed width.

IMHO, its better not to have fixed tables

Yeah, I agree with Busy, just keep it on relative width, and don't change it to a fixed width.

Thanks I agree with that on the width aspect but I was aiming to correct tables that resized om the highth or up and down axis.

I think I have it.

Thanks anyways.
