Dreamweaver MX help Please

[spik3yb0i]

hi all im new here so i dont know if this forum is for help with dreamweaver issues but as i am a bluehost customer i thought i would give it a try.

Anyways if you refer to my attachment you will see my page. I am trying to inset a 1 column 2 row table where i have circled in red. When i drag the table bigger the box in yellow also gets bigger. How do i stop this from happening?

Any help would be great. Thanks

There is a Yahoo! group called Adobe-Dreamweaver. There are over 5,000 members, and I'm sure someone could help you there.

FWIW, it would be better if you could upload your page and provide the test URL. Pages are much easier to diagnose if people are looking at code as opposed to a JPEG. I need to know what's going on "under the hood."

simply because you are using percentage % as the width.
for sample 70% .. you need to change this to pixel measurement instead, eg. 500px

and its fixed to 500px. hope this helps.

i have changed it to pixels and it is still happening. is there anyway to lock that certain cell so that it cant be adjusted at all?

You're trying to resize one cell without resizing the cell next to it, which isn't possible. You need to put another column between the cells.

More importantly, you're using a table for your layout and that isn't really what tables are for.

Try using CSS for your website. It's a little different than HTML but I like it better

Try using a nested table.
