Ok I set the size of the main table of my forum to 800 and everything stays that way except for when you read a post then it makes it a little bigger which isn't that big of a deal since it resizes but why does it resize it shouldn't it stay 800? Is there a way to make these tables a certain size?

Heres an example of the main page which is 800 width:
http://rtccc.hypermart.net/976/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl

And Here is an example of the Post page where it makes it a little bigger:
http://rtccc.hypermart.net/976/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?b-si/m-1186691927/

not a huge difference but I'd still like to keep it to one size.

Thanks,
Brian

I see you are setting the width in the 1st table element, try using css and the max-width statement.

Try this:

1. Remove the width statement from

Code

<TABLE width="800" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="1" BGCOLOR="#000000">

2. replace the <center> statement with <div id="wrapper"> and </center> at the bottom of template with </div>

3. Edit template.css and add this to the top:

Code

#wrapper {
	width:expression(document.body.clientWidth > 800? "800px": "auto" );
	max-width:800px;
	margin-left : auto;
	margin-right: auto;
} 

body {
	margin          : 0;
	text-align      : center;
}

table {
	margin-left : auto;
	margin-right: auto;
}

Ok I did almost everythign you said I coulden't change the table stuff becuase it screws up my tables on the top where my logo stuff is. But i used everything else and still the same thign ie it's fine but firefox it resizes. here is what i used for css:

Code

/* Global Table Settings */
html {
	overflow-x: auto;
}

#wrapper {
	width:expression(document.body.clientWidth > 800? "800px": "auto" );
	max-width:800px;
	margin-left : auto;
	margin-right: auto;
} 
body {
	margin          : 0;
	text-align      : center;
}

I did replace <center> with the div line you gave me and took out width="800" so it's:

Code

<div id="wrapper">
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="1" BGCOLOR="#000000">

I'm still getting the same problem in Firefox but now as soon as the post page loads I can see it start at 800 but then kindof expand really quick to a larger size? It looks like we almost got it. I did notice theres a dotted line between the post and the signature not sure if thats an img or not maybe thats resizing the table? Maybe I should send you my template.css?
