Default HTML help

Thank you very very much! You too have saved my life!! As for the table
width, I guess its a pet peeve of someone else I took advice from: that
the table should be a certain size so your head doesn't have to move
from side to side when you read across it. (For folks with large
monitors...) your eyes do most of the movement.... So that's why I have
a pixel size. For what its worth.

Yes, once again I'm asking for help.

Is there a trick that will align text within a table? In both Netscape and
IE. One cell in the table contains a very long list. The second cell is also
a list, but not as long - yet.

See: http://www.aospacificcentral.org/indexlist.html

I *think* my trouble comes from having the text centered in both cells.
Since one list is shorter than the other I had to add paragraph 'spacers' to
the end of it (the 2003 list) in order so the text would be visually aligned
with the text in 2002. Its aligned when I view the page in Netscape, but off
when viewed with Internet explorer. If there's a common technique then I'll
use it. If not then that's the way the cookie crumbles and that's the way
the page stays. I'm not going to obscess over getting the lists to line up.

Thanks!

Oh, I forgot to say this in the last one, but it is better to make your table
width 100% instead of a pixel width. That way, the browser sets the table to the
appropriate width for the person looking at your pages. Many people use 640x480
or 1024x768 and your table size is 800x600 specific.

Just my $.02
