Doggone Pesky Horizontal Scroll Bars

message from Paul in San Diego on 18 Jul 2004

I am having a problem with horizontal scroll bars on a new site. Please
check out www.cocsd.com and let me know why!

I have messed with the table width from 95% to 98% but no change. On this
computer that I put the site together on, I run 1024x768 resolution and all
is fine. Another PC here is a 15 inch monitor at 800x600 and I see
horizontal scrolling on all of the pages where the middle cell of the table
is wide...

Why does the percentage setting on table width not correct this?

Thanks mucho for your help.

Paul

There actually is no need to have any table widths on that design. If you
highlight the table and remove the widths, the table will automatically
resize depending on the browser window size.

in the center, you have a 'wbline.gif' at 402px wide
at the very bottom, far left cell - you have a spacer gif at 197px; at the
far right cell, a spacer gif at 229px.
Adding up those dimensions you get: 828px total.

I must be under a wrong impression about tables then!

The tables are set to a percentage width, that's what I don't understand!

So the tables won't resize things that are within them? That must be what I
figured would happen.

I suspect that your overall contact (like and the main image etc) are coming
to more than 770/780 which is the max for not getting left right scroll in
800 X600..

the tables will only shrink around the content.. check your cotent sizes..
