[Help] Width adjustment isn't working

I'm trying to adjust the width of a table and it doesn't seem to have any effect. this is where i'm getting my information on how to do it. <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_table_width" rel="nofollow">http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_table_width</a>

What's your code, and what's it doing?

Where are you trying to use this table? What section of the sheet and/or handout?

G V. said: What's your code, and what's it doing? Erm... i just posted a link to the style of code I was using. OldSchoolChris said: Where are you trying to use this table? What section of the sheet and/or handout? I don't follow what you're saying.

If you re simply wanting to understand how to the change the width of the table in your linked example, just change: table width="400" to table width="500" then click "See Results&gt;" at the top and see the results of your changes. If you are trying to change a SPECIFIC table in your game/sheet/handout, then we would need to see the code or an explanation as to WHERE your table is being used in YOUR game to be able to help you, which would explain our four questions. Maybe you weren't asking a question, but just stating frustration?

Still don't get it but sure, here you go. &lt;table border="1px" width="100"&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;thead&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="number" name="attr_feature_cost10"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/tr&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/tbody&gt; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &lt;/table&gt;

And what are you wanting the table to do? With what you have above it will make a table that is 100px wide. &nbsp;If you want it stretch across the entire character sheet, then you should use: &lt;table border="1px" width="100 % "&gt; Hope this helps.

At 100px wide, the content within in your table cells are probably going to "push" your table beyond it's width, even an empty table for that matter. &nbsp;Try placing some content in your table while leaving the width setting out. &nbsp;Your table will adjust to the content. &nbsp;Then you can try modifying the width. &nbsp;After you find a table width that works, you may want to adjust your table cells/columns as well. &nbsp;Have fun.

sorry I haven't been around in a few days. The reason i need the table to have a specific width is because the tables are too big and over lap each other. I made the width 100 because i just to test it with a width of some kind. In a related note, how wide is a sheet?

860px by default, although the player can change that by resizing the dialog.
