One problem with setting the width to a percentage of the screen, rather
than a fixed pixel width is that the formatting - or at least the wrapping -
changes dependent on the viewer's monitor. By setting the width to a pixel
size based upon the least common denominator, you know it will be the same
for all.

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
