My first guess is your "align=left" tag.
BTW, to get rid of all those spaces, don't put any carriage returns in before or after the table tags. 603. PelleNilsson - 11/14/1999 4:30:51 AM CalGal
Your are an IE person. Could you please check the link in #595? 604. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:00:49 AM Pelle,
I'd tried it earlier but the link hadn't worked. I looked at it again and figured out why.
Looks very nice! The width is fine. 605. dusty - 11/14/1999 5:11:47 AM CalGal
So what's wrong with "align=left". I mean it obviously messed up, but why? 607. PelleNilsson - 11/14/1999 5:13:44 AM Thank you, CalGal. 608. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:17:10 AM Dusty,
Understand I just guess at this. But consider that table align=left then takes the following text and moves it to the left. Any text. It doesn't know from posts.
So I wouldn't use the align tag unless I had text that was going to wrap around the table. 609. dusty - 11/14/1999 5:18:22 AM Pelle
The original link is mesed up. Try this instead.
610. dusty - 11/14/1999 5:20:24 AM And a close table doesn't change that? I have much to learn. 611. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:21:36 AM No, the close table is what starts the wrap. And I just learn this as I go along--it was Soup that started me on the right track. I'm a lazy coder, quite frankly. 612. CalGal - 11/14/1999 5:22:28 AM Oh, wait.
But consider that table align=left then takes the following text and moves it to the left.
The text following the table. Not the text in the table.
I am also a lazy tech writer.

That Dec.5 book signing is at Harbor Center in Annapolis, MD and not the Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD. Alas, I was looking forward to the possibility of meeting my first Motie in the flesh. Oh well. 619. Dusty - 11/15/1999 8:44:12 PM Ooops, sorry. That's not particularly close. Although I should get to Annapolis sometime. 620. dusty - 11/16/1999 2:20:15 AM | Engine | Status | When Active? |

MSN wants a description. I'll work on something, but I want feedback before I submit it. Lycos specifically notes that it does not use Meta tag info, while Altavista specifically does. (I can resubmit after we add the meta tag data.)
(Testing here, just to make sure I don't screw up the table again.)621. dusty - 11/16/1999 2:20:25 AM OK? 624. Dusty - 11/16/1999 9:04:09 PM Schehezarade
Yikes, what am I saying? Target="new" doesn't work for images.
What you want is the width command.
Width="xxx" where xxx is no greater than 425
Tell you what, I'll remove 622 and 623, and we can start over.
