Hello there - thanks for all the help before

Currently i have a page that is displaying in browser greater than the 100% of the table width settings. Therefore a horizontal scroll bar at bottom of window is present.

How can I correct this?
thanks

Is the content to the right worth something? is it a lot to the right? was it intended to go past 100%?

Mmmn,
I've seen this happen due to <i>inconsistencies</i> in how the browsers interpret things. Is it all browsers that you're having the problem
with or just a specific browser. There are some well documented hacks that <i>might</i> help
e.g. Tantec Celik's Box Model Hack tantek.com/CSS/Examples/boxmodelhack.html

Also is there anything inside the cell that might be forcing a greater width? For example the long link in this post will force the content
area to stretch to accomodate it rather than display it over 2 lines...

yeah i thought this - rebuilt tables more than once to cehck for this - no issue there

i think the problem is when a vertitcal scroll bar appears it automatically reduces the screen size and macormedia does not recognise the 100% rule less the dimensions of the vertical scroll bar - this is a MS IE/ DWeaver issue i guess - but strange thing html pages do not have this effect wehere as PHP ones do

have rebuilt page from scratch at least 5 times and still same issue ?

guess i will have to live with it atm

Could you post a link that we can have a look at Chris.

Is there a specific reason you are using tables rather than CSS?
