Why is it templates seem to mess up tables... is there a way to fix this?

its the same problem with all the templates i have tryed..

it seems to mess up the table width..

Thanks

I am not sure what exactly you are asking.

However, Templates vs. Themes here.

Templates are used to control module output. Any table withing a template can be modified to be more flexible.

In most cases when you find that a template (i.e. viewforums.html) causes your theme tables to break, it is because the tables are fixed width. instead of using a px based width try a % based.

Now if you are speaking of Theme tables. The Same pretty much goes for this. Unless you REALLY need to use a px based width I would always recommend a % based. The only time you should really have to use a px based width is if your theme is graphically intensive.

You also have to take into account that different users use different resolutions/browsers. Try to create flexible designs, and modify things to work across the globe.

Again though, if you could provide an example of what "table" is being broken by what. Perhaps we could be of more assistance.

BOL.

Here is one example of tables that are being missed up..



Thanks

A couple of recommendations about your code -

Specify units for your values ('30px' not just '30')
and tags have been deprecated, include them as style attributes instead

Now a few more questions -

What theme are you using?
How does this break in that theme?
