Problem with Table Size

2760 · Aug 31, 2003

Hi all,

I have constructed a simple navigation bar in a table in MX and have set the width to 154 pixels. However, even though it is displayed at this size in DW, when i preview it in my browser window, it appears to be much wider than 154 pixels. I have checked all the width sizes in the code and they are all set to 154, but it still appears wider when i preview it in a browser window. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks in Advance.

I've uploaded it to the net. It can be found at:

As you can see, the table is only supposed to be as wide as where the top corner curves. Any help is gratefuly appreciated.
