HTML - Locking Tables
When im designing/editing tables, using dreamweaver, is there any way I can lock them as they are? Because, I find when I start adjusting other columns or rows it affects the rest of the table. Is there a simple way to 'lock' them in place once I am happy with them?
Similar TutorialsHi, I was just wondering if there was a way to sort of "lock" a table so that when you put too much text into it, it won't let you put anymore in when you get to the limit. I'm currently using dreamweaver. My basic problem is this: the tables in my website are not locked once the website is run, thereby enabling the user to adjust the width of the table and seriously mess up the content. I'll explain my background a bit first so maybe I wont get a bunch of messages telling me to just use CSS. Now, I understand that I probably shouldn't be using tables, but I inherited webmaster duties on my companys website from somebody else and I am stuck with his original design. I also got stuck with frames, and I realize that is a great sin, but again, I gotta work with what I got at least for now. So heres my problem My site has three frames, header, left menu, and the content. The content frame has a table with three columns, one column full of words, one small column for spacing, and a third column on the far right for a picture. When the page is run in IE (but not Mozilla) the user can grab the left border of the content table and move it around, screwing it up. Is there some way to lock the table so this can't occur. How is this normally managed. Thanks -Newbie Confused by simple problem PS: THis is the code for the top of the table (The .... are paragraphs of text) <table width="777" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="607"><img src="images/front1.jpg" width="38" height="45" alt="" border="0"><a name = "WealthManagement"> <b><font size="4">Comprehensive Wealth Management</font></b> <p>......</p> <p>...... </p> <p> ...... </p> <p>Integrating o..... </p> <p>Our W......</p></td> <td width="10"> </td> <td width="160" valign="top"><img src="con_pics/31.jpg" alt="" border="0"></td> </tr> Is there any way for me to hide the scroll bar? Any way to lock it? Lets say I have an HTML frameset with 3 rows. When the the browser window size is adjusted and decreased, the bottom two frames begin to shrink and overlap the top frame. How can I make it so the "space" is taken from the bottom frames first? R Hello All, This one has me stumped. I have a frame dividing my screen into two sections, a top window and a bottom window. Here is my frame file: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html><head><title>Table One</title></head> <FRAMESET Rows="148,100%"> <frame noresize src="table_hdr.html"> <frame src="table_one.html" NAME="Lower""> </FRAMESET> </html> When I open this in a full screen view, it works perfectly. I can scroll down my table and the header stays put. My problem comes when I open my table in a window that is too narrow to display the full width of the table. A horizontal scroll bar properly appears at the bottom of the page so I can move left or right to view individual columns in the table. However, I would like to lock the header, top window, so that as I scroll horizontally with the horizontal scroll bar, the header moves left and right with the body, no separate horizontal scroll bar needed for the header. Is this possible? Or am I breaking some sort of law of physics? Any help appreciated. I thought I had cracked this nut a couple of years ago but can't find the file. Charlie Hey everyone, I'm in need of some html help. It's hard to explain this but here goes. I am trying to lock an image to the browser on a website that will work in ie and other browsers. What I mean by this is, I want the image to stay exactly to top right hand corner of the browser and its locked here as if its in front of everything else. I have seen this done before where people have had a make poverty history image on their website which looks as if its attached to the browser. I hope someone can help because i'm not sure how else to explain this but really want to know how to do it. Many thanks regards, Jon Bennett P.S - I have attached an image which I hope helps in explaining what I'm trying to do.

Hi All, I am looking to lock the link I use to stream live footage over mywebsite. I run a filming of a local sports group and noticed a lot of people were able to help themselves to the feed. I would love it to have the person log in and if the same loin combo was entered again that both sessions terminate. How would I go about this. I am using dreamweaver to build the site. Thank you in advance Greg Hi Normally, when you have more than one table in your code, the tables will be placed one under each other. Example: <table> ... </table> <table> ... </table> When you want the tables to be placed next to each other, you need to set the align attribute. Example: <table align="left"> ... </table> <table align="left"> ... </table> BUT: When you do it like in the 2nd example (tables next to each other), in Firefox, the tables will wrap to a new line if there is no more space. In Internet Explorer, the tables will not wrap. The result is a horizontal scrollbar or "hidden tables". Why this? How can I make the tables wrap also in Internet Explorer as it does in Firefox? Is it possible with a special CSS definition or with a special DIV/SPAN tag? Thanks for your help praiser Hey everyone, I'm new to these boards. Somewhat a newbie at web design, but I know basics.

I have no idea how to do this and am limited in my html skill. If some one could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it greatly. http://www.roleplayingmaps.net/sheet.htm This is the table I have already created. Thanks for taking the time to read. i have tables.. http://teamsquirrels.net when one expands it goes under or over the other i want it to push the other one across how can i do this??? Is there anyway that in Internet Explorer I can stop it auto-resizing? I think that is the problem I'm having, I'm not sure though. The problem is this: http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e8...66/problem.png The cell on IE adds onto the top and bottom of the image for seemingly no reason. The image on the broken cell is a link as well. I tried making the image the background of the cell and having a transparent image as the link over the top but it brings up the same problems. There's no border around the image and no cell padding. The code used for that specific cell is: Code: <TD height="74" style="background-repeat:no-repeat;" COLSPAN=2><a href="MYLINK" target="_blank"><img src="http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e85/pxi666/seashell/seashell_layout_09.png" width="411" height="74" border="0"></a></TD> Any ideas on what could be causing this?
