cell size - varying from Netscape to IE - stretching table beyond 100% 1

[tterrapin]

I have a html page which I designed with Front Page - I have a table with 2 columns in it - one column is populated from data from an access database. When the data is larger than the cell size (70%) - the data is not wrapping in the cell and is stretching the table size off the screen. It works in fine in IE but not in Netscape. I have come across this before but I had a table within a form and it didn't seem to stretch outside the form but unfortunately I can not use a form in this instance.

Any help would be appreciated.

thanks

This was always a continual source of frustration for me when I was initially designing my Web site. Unfortunately, Netscape and IE do not work well together.
I finally solved it by using a pixel shim to shore up the table. This is just a graphic that matches your background. You put it into the column you're not having a problem with, and it forces that column not to shrink down, which keeps the other column from expanding.

You can also go to the Table Properties and change the table size from 100% to whatever pixel size you want. I'm not sure if this option will work or not, so make sure you test it out in Netscape first.
