Spaces in Navigation Bar - Table Error |
|---|
| message from terepan on 15 Jul 2004 |
HI!
A designer created some pages for me to use for a site redesign. Whenever I
cut and paste in some content the navigation bar stretches out. My hunch is
the table is not setup correctly. She used fireworks to create the design
with.
Can someone look through the coding to see where in the table coding is off?
Here is a page where the navigation bar is fine.
http://216.197.119.49/about.html
Here is a page where I inserted some content and the navigation bar is
spreading
out:
http://216.197.119.49/store.html
I noticed the largest table with all the design inside is called a fireworks
table and has some tags I have not seen before. ALso, when I highlight the
table row (tr tag) for the largest table, it highlights the navigation graphic
at the top (Home) and the entire main content window. This is an odd layout.
Thanks for your help with this. I can't turn over the content with the design
changing on me.
Healthy regards,
Teresa

The designer did you no favors.
There is HTML above the <html> tag -
<!--To put this html into an existing HTML document, you must copy the
JavaScript and-->
<!--paste it in a specific location within the destination HTML document.
You must then copy-->
<!--and paste the table in a different location.-->
<html>
Anyhow - I believe the problem you are having can be simplified if you
consider this example -
Put a 2 row by 2 column table on the page. Merge the two right hand cells
into a single column. Put an image into each left cell, and you will see
that they merge vertically seamlessly. Now begin to add content to the
merged cell on the right and you will see that at some point you will have
forced the two left cells to begin to split apart vertically. The more
content you add to the right, the further apart the two left cells will get.
See what I mean?
To solve the problem, instead of making your page sit in a single table,
have it in several nested tables. You should be able to put a two column
table on the page with a nested table in each column. Put your navigation
in the left nested table, and the
content in the right nested table. Now, changes to either of the inner
table's
structure will not affect either of the inner nested tables.
