the_oliver Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hello I have two coloums, made by tables, into which i insert text. When i do this the second table (far right) the text feed into it only goes as far as the table width, and the downwords. However in the first table it goes over the table boundry and under the second table. How do i stop this???? Many Thanks! <TR><TD width="629" align="left" VALIGN=TOP> <TABLE width="643" BORDER=0 align="right" CELLPADDING=1 CELLSPACING=0 BGCOLOR=#486090> <TR> <TD width="629" ALIGN=CENTER><TABLE WIDTH=655 BORDER=0 align="left" CELLPADDING=4 CELLSPACING=0 BGCOLOR=#E0E8FF> <TR BGCOLOR=#000099> <TD width="371" ALIGN=CENTER valign="top"><font color="#FFFFFF"><strong> <?php echo $body_title; ?> </strong></font></TD> </TR> <TR> <TD><TABLE WIDTH=130% height="77" BORDER=0 align="left" CELLPADDING=10 CELLSPACING=0> <TR> <TD align="left" valign="top"><P> <?php echo $body_content; ?> </P></TD> </TR> </TABLE></TD> </TR> </TABLE></TD> </TR> </TABLE> <P></TD> <TD width="240" ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=TOP> <DIV ID="DownloadHelp" STYLE="display:block"> <TABLE BORDER=0 align="right" CELLPADDING=1 CELLSPACING=0 BGCOLOR=#486090> <TR><TD ALIGN=CENTER> <TABLE WIDTH=238 BORDER=0 align="right" CELLPADDING=4 CELLSPACING=0 BGCOLOR=#E0E8FF> <TR BGCOLOR=#000099> <TD ALIGN=CENTER valign="top"><B><font color="#FFFFFF"> <?php echo $side_title; ?> </font></B></TD> </TR> <TR><TD> <TABLE WIDTH=100% height="82" BORDER=0 CELLPADDING=10 CELLSPACING=0> <TR><TD valign="top"> <FONT SIZE=-1> <P> <?php echo $side_content; ?> </P> </FONT><P> </P ></TD></TR></TABLE> </TD></TR> </TABLE> </TD></TR></TABLE> </DIV> </TD> </TR> (Strange thing is that in DreamWeaver it works as it should.)

ToonMariner Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 without delving too far into your problem if you look at the fist 3 declarations of the width variable you will note that the witdh assigned to a child element is actually higher than that assigned to the container...
