I wrote about empty table cells, which seem to be a "feature" of
layout tables.
I never use layout tables, and never have this problem.
If I use a table cell as a spacer,then I include either a space
character or a transparent image in the cell, which depends on the
size of the spacer required. A space character has a minimum
height
and width determined by the font in use, an image can be as small
as
1x1 px.

Thank you Ron, for responding!
2 posts ago you wrote that my msspacer cells were missing in the
webpage,
and that in some browsers, the cells will collapse.
1. how can i deal with this problem now and also
2. how can i get them included automatically for the future?
many thanks
miranda
:
In the web page I use ISO-8859-1 for the character set,, as in
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1" />
Many others use windows-1252
The charset you use depends on your web pages - some require
UTF-8,
especially those written in non-Western languages such as Hebrew
or
Chinese, though there are other charactersets that are more
appropriate for those.
As for FrontPage and the browser, if the pages are written in
English,
or other European languages, then add those languages to
Tools->Internet Options - Language button in IE, and set FP to
US-Western Europe.
For the pop-up window, take a look at Spawn from

Thank you very much for your feedback, Ron. it is very
useful.
just out of interest, what encoding do most people use or is
it
best
to use?
i would like to ask one othere question. How does one make
the
windows of
the type that one uses when , from a very small image, when a
visitor clicks
on it, an enlarged version of the image 'pops-up'? could you
point
me in the
right direction of where to find this info?
many thanks again,
from miranda
:
Encoding will not affect font-size, it will effect how some
characters
(symbols such as the £, non-western characters) are displayed
on
the
page.
Your page has a few design problems[1], but font-size is not
one
of
them.
[1] Width - too wide for my 800x600 browser.
Page height - 2000px of mainly blank space.
Empty table cells, which do nothing but collapse in some
browsers.
Small text - increasing the font-size cures that without
spoiling
the
design.
Black on dark blue text in left border - hard to read,
especially
when
it's so small.
Link to site map is not there.

thank you, Stefan, for responding.
text size is set at 'medium' , but the entry below 'text'
which
is
'encoding' also seems to be moving around as well. the
problem
i
have is
that i do not know which 'encoding' i should have it set
at?
(i
am
in the uk
- i do not know if this is relevant or not.)
should i have the encoding as 'unicode (UTF-8)' or
'(western
europe
(ISO)' or another .....? and what should i pick in
Fp -
they
are not
exactly the same names, eg. ' US/western europe (ISO)'
the only page i have put up using Fp (don't know what the
encoding
was for
it, as i put it up before things went very wrong and was
not
aware
then that
'encoding' even existed) is :

many thanks for your help

In your browser (IE set View Text Size to Medium)
If you are still having problems post a URL to your
published
site
online to look at
