Exclamation Content stretches website's layout ..
Hi ,

i did a design in photoshop , exported the design as html page and then edited it in dreamweaver. The problem is that when i put content which is bigger than the actual table size of the website it stretches all the website's height and everything is messed. I want do make it so when i enter content to stretch only the footer and to leave everything in its current position.

Table code starts like this.. :

Code:
<table width="781" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
	<tr>
		<td rowspan="6">


Any help appreciated

Regards ,
Kevin

I think that's one of the biggest dangers of using tables for layout. I'm afraid I don't have a good answer for you besides suggesting you learn how to make webpages without using tables for layout.

Having said that, if you post a link to your page I'll have a look and see if there's anything I can do to help.

You know, it takes 2 minutes (often a lot less - sometimes 2 seconds) to upload a webpage.

Thats because when you SLICE images from photoshop they dont act as a background and dont stretch...unless you set them as a bg, but it wont always work unless you use css with it aswell...

So you may aswell just do it from scratch

It's just an idea, but it might be something to do with the 'rowspan'. It's set to 6, which suggests that whatever you're trying to do could probably be done a much easier and more efficient way. Could you post the code of the whole table, or even better, the whole page?

It sounds like a problem I myself am keen to try and figure out. I suppose I'm quirky like that! If you don't want to post these on the forum, message me and I'll have a look for you

by content you mean the text portion which is overflowing
the table boundaries that you expected to work...

if no then disregard this post,

---- if necessary.. you could always use styles to help
control the content of your page.

Code:
table {
     width: 800px;
     height: 450px;
     cell-spacing: 0px;
     cell-padding:5px;
     border: solid 1px #000000;
}
td {
     width: #px;
     height: #px;
}


or in the TABLE and TD tags themselves...
Code:
<table...style="width:800px;height:450px;...">
<tr>
<td...style="width:#px;height:#px;...">...</td>
</tr>
</table>

It looks to me you just need to define the <td>'s height?
