HTML - Site Stretches On Some Monitors And Mac In Fixed Layout.

Hi there,
I have a table layout on the main page of site I'm working on, and have one row with two cells. The cell on the left contains a php include page which auto updates with news, however, as the news gets longer and the cell container auto resizes to fit the height..it also messes with the height of the cell on the right, leaving empty spaces (the black space right under "recruitment status") I'm stumped as to how to deal with is, any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks

the site: http://guild-paragon.com/indexframe

edit: decided to put an iframe in there to hold the height, there's prob better alternatives out there though

I would be very greatful if someone could let me know what is required to make a site display centrally on widescreen monitors with blank areas either side.

I mainly use dreamweaver and have no real knowledge of css so if there is a HTML code out there to cut and past I would be very greatful

Many thanks

Mark

I'm having so much trouble with this. I have a site (from photoshop) that will have have fluid layout (100% width) but I want the footer to "stick" to the bottom of the window (unless content goes longer).

Here is content part of the html (which is a bit messed up now from trying many things)

please help.

Hello,

I need to create a 3 -column lay out with the left and right columns having 200px each and the middle column take the rest. Here is my html markup:

HTML Code:

	<div style="width: 100%">
		<div style="width: 200px; float:left;">Left column</div>
		<div style="width: 100%; float:left;">Middle Column</div>
		<div style="width: 200px; float:left;">Right Column</div>
	</div>

It's not working for me . Please help.

Hi, thanks for reading.

My website works ok on most smartphones, but not so when I view it on the Nokia 5230. A div called 'topcontent', which features on 3 different pages across the site (and, bafflingly, looks fine on most pages!) stretches thousands of pixels wide on the index page, scattering text miles out of site. Here is the markup for it, it lives in a css stylesheet:

#topcontent {
-webkit-text-size-adjust: none;
position: absolute;
width: 550px;
left: 175px;
top: 166px;
padding: 5px;
text-align: justify;
}

(and here's the URL: http://www.shorterhouse.com)

As far as I can tell from the Nokia website, the browser for this phone is simply called "Nokia 5230 Default Browser". It's sort of a 'mini' smart phone and handles every other website I've viewed with it fine, so the error must be in my markup.

I would love some helpful suggestions please !

(Ps, I am fairly new to all this so if you find the markup a bit shocking, it's because I'm learning as I go!)
