View Full Version : Apply Table?

Through trial, error and reading posts in this forum I figured out Dynamic Web Templates and adding a SimnpleViewer album to my site. Next hurdle; I did not take into consideration the various screen resolutions used by others. I understand there are two ways to control the size of the pages; use a single table with content centered and set to 100% or limit horizontal and vertical size. Being new to FP (and probably missing something to obvious) I do not see the horizontal and vertical settings in the code for the DWT. I also cannot find a way to “apply” a table to the entire DWT; editable and non-editable areas. So…is there a solution besides starting from scratch??
Thanks

Hi there,
Table height, you only want to restrict the height if you do not want your page to scroll vertically. This severely limits the amount of content you can have on each page unless you use an i-frame or a scrolling div.

But to set the width of the table, that is done from the table propertis themselves. Create your table (the width can be set whilst creating it) alternatively right click inside the table and set the width from there.
I would suggest using a test page first to tryout on, and would have thought maybe you would find easier to create your table first, then when you add the content add your dwt areas. Or immediately at the top of your page insert your table, then you would have to copy all your content and move it into the table. Or ... if you are only wanting a one cell table you could create your table first on a blank page (so you can see the code used.) then in HTML view of your page, immediately under the opening <body> tag insert the opening part of your table, and then immediatly above the closing </body> tag of your page .. way down the bottom add the closing tags of your table .... so it would be something like this - that way you dont have to copy and paste your content code and maybe miss out some.

<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td> HERE IS YOUR PAGE CONTENT GOES</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

Then you can right click inside the table and set your width etc.

Good thought on the verticle height, thank you. I'll work on the width with your thoughts. Thanks again.
