First of all, rowspan/colspan goes both in the <td> tag, not the <tr> tag (maybe it works in IE but it's not standard)
What i thougt whas to adjust the width of the table. If you know how the page will look like you can make the width like you mention (% dosnt work so well, but giving it i pixels will). You can also draw a 1 px height line and a [WIDTH] px wide line in each column (first row). This will force html to stay in the size you told him. Otherwise the browser will look if some col have space over and some are missing any and move some over. e.g --------------------------------------- | Col 1 | This col is to small | | | and does not fit in | | | one row | --------------------------------------- As you can see the second col is "to small" and col1 is bigger than needed. The browser may (depending on the browser) redesign the table (even if you specified the width in the <td> tag) --------------------------------------- | Col 1 | This col is to small and | | | does not fit in one row | --------------------------------------- This is not what you usaly wants... If your problem only was that you dont want any rowsplits you can do a NOWRAP <td NOWRAP> [ref] NOWRAP Disables the default word-wrapping within a table cell, thus maximizing the amount of the cell's horizontal space. Standard: Deprecated in HTML 4 in favor of Style Sheets Common: No Sample: <TD NOWRAP>The contents of this cell will not wrap at all</TD> [/ref] There you go, hoped you got any hang of my bad language... //Jan -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Fran: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]For Peter Dolukhanov Skickat: den 9 mars 2002 14:31 Till: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Amne: Re: Table <td> problem I think what you have to look into is the colspan and rowspan commands which go into <tr> and <td> tags respectively..
