Â*<BR>I'm a VB/Database programmer digging into Interdev and Im putting together a homepage to try to get a handle on this stuff. What Im having trouble with at this point is getting my pages to stay smashed against the left margin-- I dont want my paragraphs to readjust when maximazing the browser. For example www.aspmessageboard.com readjusts when you maximize and www.fool.com does not. How to you put a cap on width?<BR><BR>Thanks for any help...<BR><BR>Culley<BR>culley@europa.com

Specify all your WIDTHs in your TABLE and TD tags as hard coded numbers. On ASPMessageboard we use %'s and *.<BR><BR>For example, if you say:<BR><TABLE WIDTH=95%><BR><BR>when you resize, the table will resize. If you say:<BR><TABLE WIDTH=400><BR><BR>The width will stay at 400 pixels regardless of the browser size. Make sense?

Okie Dokie. I was hoping to avoid tables and use some hidden functionality in Interdev but tables will do!<BR><BR>Thanks, Culley
