find width of table

[Niv3k]

If I set up a table without declaring "width", how can I find the size? I have tried:

var tbl
tbl = document.getElementsByTagName("MyTable")
alert(tbl.width);

but all I get is bing! "undefined".

What am I doing wrong?

to satisfy my curiosity: what is the reason behind?
thanks

I wanted to re-size a frame depending on how wide the table was. The table gets filled using .ASP from a database, and sometimes the fields might be real long, other times, they are short. But apparently, I did some more research and found that I could not re-size a frame once it's been drawn.
