Here's my add_parasite.php.. it is a parasite database and I need it to output all of the data in the MySQL table into a HTML data table. Right now all of the boxes on the table are the same width and height and I want them to be longer for the description and technical info and shorter for the rest. Please try to make it look good for me.. thanks!!

Try instead of opening your width sections like <width='600'> Try something like creating a table to hold your entire website and all tables inside use a percentge to stay together! I am tired so dont blame me if my tables script is not right but I believe

 

<table width="600" border="0">

  <tr>

    <td><table width="80%" border="0">

  <tr>

    <td> </td>

  </tr>

</table></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td><table width="80%" border="0">

  <tr>

    <td> </td>

  </tr>

</table></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td><table width="80%" border="0">

  <tr>

    <td> </td>

  </tr>

</table></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td><table width="80%" border="0">

  <tr>

    <td> </td>

  </tr>

</table></td>

  </tr>

  <tr>

    <td><table width="80%" border="0">

  <tr>

    <td> </td>

  </tr>

</table></td>

  </tr>

</table>
