Setting Up Tables 13
FIGURE 13-1
The Table dialog box starts out with a default table of three columns and three rows; you can adjust it as needed.
If you aren??™t sure of the number of rows and/or columns you need, put in your best guess??”you can add or
delete rows or columns later as necessary.
The default table is sized to take up 200 pixels of the browser window. You can alter this percentage by
changing the value in the Width text box. The table maintains this proportion as you add text or images,
except in the following situations:
n When an image is larger than the specified percentage
n When the nowrap attribute is used for the cell or table row and there is too much text to fit
In either case, the percentage set for the table is ignored, and the cell and table expand to accommodate the
text or image. (For further information on the nowrap attribute, see the ???Cell Wrap??? section later in this
chapter.)
The Table dialog box uses what are called sticky settings, displaying your previously used settings
the next time you open the dialog box. This handy feature enables you to set the border
width to 0, for example, and forget about resetting it each time.
If you prefer to enter the table width as an absolute pixel value, instead of the relative percentage, type the
number of pixels in the Width text box and select Pixels in the drop-down list of width options.
