So somewhere in there my script is wrong because the middle box is so small when using ie.



It works fine with mozilla but I want it to work with ie too, for other people.



Someone help and tell me what's wrong with it!!

Instead of using pixel widths, use percentages.



Also, your html tables are a mess with inproper and incompatible coding methods. A quick fix might be this: The master table that contains everything, instead of a width of "10" use 100%. The left and right menu's, each should get a percentage width value of 15%. That's plenty. The center column should get the rest of the width, 70%.



The site needs a lot of work, but that should fix what you're complaining about. :) I have also taken what was "on your page" at the moment and converted it to proper XHTML Transitional. I really didn't make an effort to clean it up entirely, but if you like, I could spend a few minutes on it.



Overall, it looks real good for a first, or second or even third personal site.

Oh, I almost forgot. This is more of a nitpick than anything, but please avoid using "text-align: right;." It's an eye sore for the most part when it comes to paragraphs. It would be much more advisable in my humble opinion to use "text-align: justify;" or no text-align at all. Also, instead of using bgcolor everywhere, Id use the CSS stylesheet you got at the top. :)

See, I liked the way that my tables didn't take up the whole page.



I can give you the wholeeee code and if you ever have time you can mess around with it.. Just reply back if you do. It's ok if you can't though.

That's fine, but still use the percentages for the inner tables/columns. To do what you want, make the master table a set width. Anything you want. Don't go higher than 700. I spent about 5 minutes playing with it. Cleaned it up a bit. I did as much as I could do in the five minutes I had today without rewriting it. What do you think? See for yourself.



Personally, these days I'm finding myself dropping tables except for structure of the page. Even there I find myself using dividers and CSS stylesheets for alignment. I just like that method of doing things. It makes the page completely liquid. I could throw the menu from the left side of the page to the right side of the page by changing one value.



If you look at the html code to TeenHelp you'll see the entire site operates on this.

Oh that looks awesome.



Thank you!!



So I just go to page source then copy that code with all my things into it? And it'll work like that?

Ok, so now my problem is for my comments page.



If you click on the *some number* comments so far it opens in a new window and all I want is the middle table to be there.



I tried in dreamweaver to make it just the middle table and have none of the side like navigation menu's but I can't do it or I've done something wrong. How do I do thissss?

Just delete the columns in visual editing mode. Select the entire column and hit delete or backspace. Though, I have already done it for you, to be convenient. Go check it out.



Though, if you had used XHTML and CSS and dividers like I do. You could just set "display: none;" property on the left and right menu and it disapears like magic. :)

That's how I want it but I still want it to be the size it was with the other two columns.



Is that possible or does it have to stay like that for the whole table to work?

Yah, I'll PM my AIM to you. I really avoid giving out my messengers these days. I used to get invaded with messages every time I logged onto AIM from stuff related to TH.
