Tables cells expanding

[Chris]

I'm wanting to make a small table with a background
picture in, then I was going to add another one cell
table inside each cell of the main table to make
hyperlinks. Problem is the cells keep expanding, how do I
fix there size, I've tried percent and pixels but nothing
seems to work.

Be grateful for any ideas

Cheers


Chris

Why wouldn't you just put the hyperlinks inside the cells
in the first table?

Under some conditions, no matter what width you specify
in the HTML, the browser will make table cells wide
enough to display the cell contents.

Can you post a URL?

My idea was to have the text with a border around it so I
thought a cell would be the best to do that. I wanted to
keep the hyperlink smaller than the main cell.

Thanks for that, might just have to work with that in
mind.

Sorry I haven't loaded anything, learnt a long time ago
to play with a backup version and only upload when I
think I know what I'm doing

Thanks again
