Re: Horizontal scrolling

Apparently it's not ok... I set the width of the table to 1500, and
gave the cells the widths - 300,900,300. Still, when the context of
the middle cell is getting out of the cell's width, the other cells
squeeze. How can I make my table to be at the width of the combined
width of the cells?
Please help,
Ofir.

In Safari 3, FF 2, iCab, you get what you want, I guess with:

<http://dorayme.890m.com/alt/setPxWidthTable.html>

but not with Opera. Opera, at least my Opera, gives 300px to the left
cell and 300px to the right cell but makes up its own mind about the
middle one, ignoring the 1500px spec for the table. Opera shows some
gumption!

Specifying the 70% for the middle as well to give some sort of
unmistakable message is a disastrous complication.

What really are you trying to do? Please tell us the real purpose, the
sort of webpage it is about etc, a URL would be good and this way we
might suggest how best to tackle the issue you face so it is happy in
almost all browsers. Making these particular conditions is just giving
us things to have fun with... <g>

Ok, this is the html as it is when everything is ok:
http://testweb101.awardspace.com/index1.html
This is what I don't want to happen:
http://testweb101.awardspace.com/index2.html In the second one the side
td's are squeezed. I want them to stay in the same width I stated which
is 300.

The div which wraps the (entire) contents of the middle cell should have -

style="width:900px;overflow:hidden;"
