I would like to have tables which cells would have a FIXED size in pixels (specially the width). My goal is that, after testing, I decide the width for every column and the height for every row, thus preventing DW to automatically stretch or enchance them

I know this is possible, but I am failing to achieve that

Might someone help, please?

thanks

thanks
antonio

Ignoring the fact that a fixed table width design isn't too useful in most circumstances (it's probably better to use a liquid design), you can use Css to do this:

<table>
<tr>
  <td style="width:100px;">1</td>
  <td style="width:50px;">2</td>
</tr>
</table>

This should fix the width of your columns to 100 and 50px respectively.

Thanks.

Assuming that fix-size cells is not an optimum practice, I should turn my question to: how to FORCE all rows but one (the rightmost one) to be FIXED size?

Or even better, how to understand the random behaviour of DW when manually widening a column (instead of just chaning the border I am moving, other borders move too, causing a mess

Hi antonio,

To make a flexible layout / design, you should use a "liquid design". Search this forum or Google for the term "liquid design" and you'll find some useful examples, including:
