Is there a problem with defining an absolute width to the body tag? This is something I've done for quite some time now, but a colleague thinks this is somehow wrong (although he couldn't give me a reason why). thanks!

I didn't call it clean, I called it cleaner--cleaner than nested tables. If there's a more elegant solution, I'd be thrilled to hear it.

Simple solution. I put the title in a div instead of a TD, placed it inside the content TD and used absolute positioning, negative margins and explicit widths. So I get collumns that expand with each other and IE doesn't mess up the height of my title "boxes". It's also cleaner and closer to...

Thanks Foamcow, while I won't use it for this, I'd really like to take a look at that script. Leanring something new is never a bad thing.

I didn't mean to ignore your suggestion BRPS, but the use of nested tables is bad practise, and I'd like to avoid it. I appreciate your help just the same. These are templates that will be used by other people (via a builder)--if it were for me, I could work around it, but there's no telling...

So am I to assume there is no known fix?

Hi, thanks for your replies. Firstly, yes, I'd prefer to use straight CSS too, but I do not think it's possible to do what I want to do. Say I'm using a standard box design in CSS. Two independant boxes have separate content. When one content box grows with text, I'd like the other to grow...

I have a tabular setup with the outside column spanning 4 rows. The four rows consist of two "boxes" each with a thin title row (28 pixels high) and another row for content. the problem is that when the outside column grows, it forces the spanned rows to expand also--this is fine, but I do not...

To clarify, I'd like a physical textbook, web tutorials are not ideal. Thanks again.

Can anyone suggest a HTML/CSS text? Preferably one that compies with W3? Thanks.

Why would illustrator be better exactly. I have the program, but haven't found much use for it other than text manipulation.

Very nicely, explained. Thanks so much for your time.

table.spanning td.spanning {color: #efefef; font-family: Arial; font-weight: bold; font-size: 14px; : 2;} I don't completely understand this. I keep my css simpler (no doubt inferior). Does this mean that when table.spanning AND td.spanning are used, do this? So if I were just using...

You could just stroke an elipse and erase the area the you don't need. This is easier, but everyone should learn the pen tool at some point.

Yeah, I knew you could use tags in CSS, but thanks just the same, stormbind. I've been using CSS for a long time now, but only starting validating my sites recently. It's going to be tough to reverse my way of thinking. Thanks again.

Right, but maybe this is inefficient, but I have multiple paragraphs and each paragraph have many of the same attributes so I create an id style and go from there. But the paragraphs also have attributes that make them unique so I give each of them a different class. So my structure looks...

Line 29, column 10: ID "title" already defined (explain...). <div id="title">Mother, Not Mother</div><hr class="books" /><br /> ^ Line 24, column 10: ID "title" first defined here (explain...). <div id="title">Now You Care</div><hr class="books" /><br /> That's the error...

Thanks guys, that did it.

Thanks for that, Andy.
