table question -- What's wrong with this?
I want the table cell that contains the word "hello" to take up 25% of the screen, and the table cell that contains the word "There" to take up the rest of the screen, and for "There" to be centered in that cell.
But instead, it forms a cell that perfectly fits the word "Hello" and makes the rest of the table wide enough so that the cell containing "Hello" is 25% of the table, instead of 25% of the screen which is what I want.
<html><head><title>Table Test</title></head><body>
<table border>
<tr>
<td width='25%'>Hello</td>
<td width = '*' align='center'>There</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body></html>

Notice also you need to provide a value for border in the tag.
There are other ways of doing this with CSS, I'm just not good with CSS yet.
