How to create a menu bar that stays the same size

[Chrissirhc]

Hello
I am using tables for my web page. I have a simple layout
a title and then 3 colomns in the row below.

The middle column is the biggest column much like this site.

When I resize the window. The left column with the links in it gets smaller. If I do at tek tips a scroll bar occurs instead. Actually is that my problem I need a scrollbar. Or is there a special attribute that allows me to say this column should never be smaller than 100 pixels wide?.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

in ur table cell put a transparent gif 1x100px, it wuld prevent this cell 2 resize less than that gif.. it's simple, & it is not the only way.. regards, vic

I see. This seems an easy solution. But it seems unconventional. What other way is there to do it?

nested tables
i mean u can put another table in ur <td> & set this table's size hardcoding (like width=100px) but it wont be workin all the times, gif stuff is better..
what do u mean sayin But it seems unconventional??
xplain a bit.. regards, vic

What I said isn't really logic just intuitively. I would have expected to have a special attribute maybe something like resizable = &quot;false&quot;. I don't know.

How do I make it transparent?

use photoshop (i usually make 1x1px transparent doxument & then do &quot;save for web&quot; & save it like gif..)

I've created a transperent gif. I thought that I would be able to load the gif and then any text I put would go above it is this not the case this is the code.

<td class=&quot;links&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; rowspan = &quot;3&quot;>
<br /><br />
<img src = &quot;menubar.gif&quot; />
<img src = &quot;forlinks.gif&quot; />
links go in here<br />
maybe put a script in here to set the links for every page?<br />
some other stuff<br />
some other stuff<br />
some other stuff<br />
some other stuff<br />
some other stuff<br />
some other stuff<br />

</td>

Have you tried <td width=&quot;150&quot;> ???? DeZiner
