Width 100%...and then some..

[haynbrian]

Hello all,

I notice that on some web sites, there are tables in which the cell contents reach across the entire screen, no matter whether the screen is minimized or not, nor does it matter what resolution your screen is set at. Does anyone know how this is done? Below is a link that is an example of it. The effect that I am speaking of is in orange at the top, but the entire table is 100%.

If I'm not making sense, please let me know :-)

Thanks,

Brian

Yes, the table is 100% therefore it stays at approximately 100% of your browser window width whether you resize the browser.

<table border="1" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>1</td>
<td>2</td>
</tr>
</table>

Right! They did what I sometimes do. I make a blank table a certain size to control my layout to that size, then other tables can be 100% inside.
Yeah, I know, don't mention it (tables)

This one happens to be in two blank tables. Both at 100%
