How to stop table from resizing when browser resize

omoo · Jan 4, 2006

Hi,

I have a table with values in each cells but I do not want the size of the table to become smaller when I resize the window browser smaller. Especially when I resize the vertical part of the window browser, the table will move in and become thinner too.

How can I do this?

Give it a fixed width.

Code:

<table width = "600">

Hi, I tried to use "width" but it cannot work. I forgot to say that the 1st column of the table contains words, 2nd column is a textbox and 3rd column is a drop down box. When I resize the windows browser, the 2 boxes did not get resize but the words at the 1st column change from one line to 2 lines.
