100% Table for Page Layout

I've tried to setup my pages to be flexible with different screen resolutions
by placing text and images inside of tables with a 100% width attribute; but,
it doesn't seems to work. Is there a FrontPage 2003 setting that I must check?

Thanks!
 
That depends on what you mean by "doesn't seem to work." What are you
shooting for? What were the expectations that you had? What was the outcome?

Remember that what you put in the table must also be able to adapt,
else it doesn't matter that the table itself can.

BTW. It is not the screen resolution that are of interest, but the
size of the browser window.

Here's the web page:

I want the table that has the business listings to expand and contract based
on individual browser settings. That is, the table's width should adjust to
accommodate the browser. I thought setting the table width to 100% or even
80% would do it, but my client says he must scroll to the right to view the
entire table. How can you set up a table that will fill the bowser window but
not exceed it (width only)?
 
For starters the code on that page is so badly ganked it's a wonder your
client sees anything. There is no </body> tag, there are unclosed <table>
tags. There are about a zillion </div> tags.

I dunno....

Click to expand...
 
oye...besides all the divs

you have a problem here:
<div class="Section1" style="width:920px; height: 383px">

you're specifying a width wider than 760px...at least I think that's it.

uh, yeah Tom - That's the problem he's trying to solve. Thanks for repeating
the problem, though.

Training Spec - As rob pointed out, you have a <div> with a width of 920
pixels. That is what is causing the scrolling.

Thanks to All!

Funny thing...right after I sent my last reply, I noticed the 920 pixel, too!

Yeh, it's messed up! I had lost the original web and had to download a copy
from the server. I've been trying to fix it ever since!

Thanks again!
