Tables within a page problems. HELP!

I have just created my very first simple module ****round of applause*** and everything works ok apart from the fact that my tables spread right accross the content page although they should be set to 80%. Im using html as the content pages which are called by the following code in a php file in my module:-
<?php include("../../mainfile.php"); include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/header.php'; OpenTable(); include("pat-testing-prices.html"); CloseTable(); include ("../../footer.php"); ?>

even when I try to set the tables to a set size in the html they spread right accross the page.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Could I fix it by putting a cell on each side of my table with a none fixed size and the cells with my content at a fixed size?

Can we see this in action? Pictures are better than describing the problem

Maybe the content is to large, so the table can't be resized?

The content in at least one table is tiny so no problems there, but it still takes up the whole page.

Ah now I got your problem! The solution is in your stylesheet.

In your themes css file, themes/ideal-clean/style.css, you will find the following entry at the very beginning.

Quote:

table
{
width: 100%;
font-size: 11px;
}


This will cause every table to have 100% width. You have to delete this in order to use other width for some tables. But remember that this removal will affect ALL tables.

fredski:

Perhaps you should also check your code. The source file shows a double set of <body> tags.

Cheers.
