Fixed width in table? Can't Post
Hello everyone,

I have several customers using PP and it has been great!
Usually, I create a template html page with a header, footer, and a table in between with a fixed width.


<table border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="740" id="AutoNumber4" height="254">
<tr>
<td valign="top" height="400" width="730">
<font face="arial" size="2">
<!-- publish type="wysiwyg" name=" text box name " rows=20 format="html" --><!-- /publish --> </font>
</td>
</tr>
</table>


However, if a client inserts a table using PP and exceeds the max width or inserts an image which exceeds the table width the template will be destroyed.

I have a help file for PP which instructs the customer not to exceed a certain table width. I've also placed a limit on the image size.

Is there a way in html to permanently fix the width of a table?

Best,
Brian

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the email! Smile

When working with web design and allowing your clients to make changes to your content, what you're running into is something that may happen. With HTML there isn't really a way you can create a table that can't be broken by any large tables or images inside of it. Because Page Publisher and it's WYSIWYG editor basically allow users to modify HTML on their website there is a chance that they'll add some content that will break your design.

Although I wish I had better news for you the only way to prevent something like this from happening is to use text fields and text boxes rather than Page Publisher's WYSIWYG editor.

I hope this helps and if you have any other questions, just let me know! Smile

Hi Mike,

Thanks for the reply. This is what I figured. I've searched through html books and sites trying to figure a way around it. It's really not a big deal just as long as the client follows the guidelines I've set out in the help file.

Best,
Brian
