Width of A Table

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Jun 06.2005

Hello. I am kind of a HTML newbie but I am creating a table with information. If i do not specify the width of the table, it makes it very long and I have to scroll horizontally on the page to see it all. I want to be able to shrink it down and make it viewable on one page. How can I do this? Can I make the font smaller or specify a width of the table? I did <table width=”400″ border=”1″> but this didnt change anything. Help please.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr>

<td>&nbsp;</td>

</tr>

</table>

<style type="text/css">

table{width:100%}

</style>
