Hey

I am just doing some small sites to add to our members area, these are working as free bonus sites for our members.

I have all the psd's therefore I have had to learn how to cut a PS .psd in Image Ready and export it to html.

I can do this, I can also add the 'body' part as a table and use the background image to give me a space to add text / images etc.

The problem is, whenever I go beyond the original size of the table with text, the surrounding frame starts to break up and looks shitty

Any advice on how to fix this?

Thanks guy's

P.S. I really wanna learn how to do this and not have to farm it out

Reduce your font size or amount of text. If you need a larger table area you'd have to recode the design in most cases.

Insert the other content before the table and use Simple CSS to format it to be within the table (<div> tags with a class to match the width of the table

)

Plan a head and kept the text to a minimum. Also if using TABLES you can set BGcolors or Background graphics into your design. SO if it does stretch it it won't look funky.

the css answer is the only real solution . the others are not the way to go...

Surround your text into a division

<div class="textbox" >text goes here</div >

that goes where ever your text box goes...

then in your <head > put this...

<style type="text/css" >
.textbox {width:000px;height:000px;overflow:auto; }
</style >

fill in the proper height and width and take out the spaces at the end of the tags.

That should do the trick

I thought people stopped using tables in about 1999?

:P
