At [url]http://mywebpages.comcast.net/designengineering[/url] , the links and/or table slightly moves immeaditely after I click on it. This problem only occurs with half the links llisted on the site (SERVICES, GENERAL EXPERIENCE, USEFUL LINKS AND CONTACT).
What is wrong/different with these four pages? Why is my browser moving the table slighltly down in on link, left in another, and up in another?
@jochemDec 16.2003 — #First of all, you shouldn't use tables at all for your page lay-out. Several threads in this forum will explain to you why. However, if you choose to use them anyway, make sure that the width of any <td> that should not resize is not a % but an actual amount of pixels, like <td width="150">.
@eviljoker7075Dec 29.2003 — #Hey, call me dense if you will, but I've used a table to format my page. I've given the table a width of 750 pixels, but then I've used % to give the size to all my <td>'s and <tr>'s. What's wrong with that?
@spufiDec 30.2003 — #You can look at the "why tables are stupid" link in my sig for more info, but let's say you create a website template that uses a table based layout. You then go and create a number of pages based on the layout. Now, you want to change the layout. You would have to go through and change each of your pages as where a CSS based layout only needs the externally linked CSS file to be changed. The link below shows an example of a tableless layout and various external CSS files which do all of the dirty work.
@eviljoker7075Dec 30.2003 — #Okay, so maybe tables are not the best thing to use, but it is fairly easy, and my site doesn't have a lot of pages so it's a relatively short process editing the layout. Besides the layout looks fine as it is.
