I followed the advice in here in order to create new pages, such as this page:
http://golfalmanac.net/PGA/pga_money_list_2005.php
I am using the following code:

include("/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/GOLFALMANAC.NET/mainfile.php");
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php");
$xoopsOption['show_rblock'] = 0;
?>


INSERT CONTENT -HTML HERE



include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/footer.php');
?>



My question is: It appears as though the page wants to "span", even though I have a table of fixed width (see
http://golfalmanac.net/PGA/pga_money_list_2005.php). How do I stop it from spanning ? Is the file "mainfile.php" causing the problem?

Thanks for any help...Bob

That's odd. I have no idea why that would happen but I'm fairly new to XOOPS.

Perhaps if you tried wrapping a div around it with a specified width...?
<div style="width:339px;"><table><tr><td>table contentstd>tr>table>
div>


Otherwise, I'll leave it to someone here with more expertise to help...

I've had this happen. Your CSS is probably defining the style at 100%, overriding the setting in your PHP file.

In your CSS, you can create a new table class and set the width at 80% (or what you want) and apply that class to the table in the PHP file.

That should work

OK - but would my theme css be the one to edit or the
xoops.css ?? I assume the theme css would be the culprit ?

OK- sorry to look stupid, but my css code for the table is:
table {width: 100%;}
table td {vertical-align: top;}

I cannot find in Dreamweaver how to create another table
class, which I could then call up in the php coded page??

In your theme CSS, add something like this:

Quote:
table.pgatable { width: 80% }


Or whatever name and width you choose.

Then in your phpfile, use this in the


Quote:


Of course, you can always change the "0" to your preference.

You are a genius ! Works perfectly...see new page:
http://golfalmanac.net/PGA/pga_money_list_2005.php

Thanks so much...now I can use this same style to apply to about 100+ other pages of data I need to build...
