[Justin]

or a frame?

like have scroll bars.

[khalidali63]

<table style="width:300px;height:200px;border:1px green solid;">

Change the width value or height value to your desired range

justin the best help I can give you is to ask you to search the internet for a tutoral on "html" or "tables". Learn the fundamentals of the code. It is easier than you think.

That is exactly what it is supposed to do. Which is the reason you should learn more about the code as I suggested.

Tables are intended to used for displaying tabular data and not as a means for controlling layout. As such they will expand to include all the data. The solution is to control your page layout with CSS like you ought to. From the HTML 4.01 Specification:
Tables should not be used purely as a means to layout document content as this may present problems when rendering to non-visual media. Additionally, when used with graphics, these tables may force users to scroll horizontally to view a table designed on a system with a larger display. To minimize these problems, authors should use style sheets to control layout rather than tables.

A way to make a frame, or a iframe that put info that is in the html document, like a table would, where yo can control the size?

[Esmaeiluk]

go to insert and then click inline frames
with this u could change shapes

[Justin]

are you using a program or something?

[Esmaeiluk]

i'm using front page
remember to use tables in every page
and the other thing is that u should make the tables about 10 pixels less than ur inline frame

Why do you need tables? Referring AGAIN to what charles had to say:
From the HTML 4.01 Specification

Additionally, when used with graphics, these tables may force users to scroll horizontally to view a table designed on a system with a larger display.

If I want a 500*350px "window" with scrollbars positioned 100px from the left and top edges of my screen, I will use:

<div style="margin-left: 100px; margin-top: 100px; width: 500px; height: 350px; overflow: scroll">
<p>This content will be displayed in a 500*350 size div.
The div will have scrollbars by default. You may change "overflow:scroll" to "overflow: auto"
to display or un-display scrollbars depending on the size of contents of this div.</p>
<p>This is CSS2. It will work with IE4, NS6 and later browsers.
It wont work with NS4.7. However NS4.7 will still display the content.</p>
</div>
