If you have layout problems on the page, the answer is ALWAYS in the code.

Murray solution is the only right one. I didn't notice the p tags. Sorry.
I
should think about it cause my solution (delete key) just removes those p
tags. But sometimes it happens to me that I'm not able to resize the tr td
and
specially some column. Often I have simply to pass to the Layout mode and
then
return to Standard to obtain some change. Sometimes this method doesn't
work
too and I restart the work from the beginning, doing the same things, and
everything works. In this case I'm sure there is nothing "wrong" in the
code.
I'm not always so inattentive like in this case. Somebody had the same
experience?

I'll keep in mind
Thx!
But sometimes DW adjusts the layout by itself, without I touch the code, I just change from Standard to Layout visualisation. Is this happening only to me?

I don't know. Use Layout mode at your own risk. I never use it.

Nevertheless, if you are seeing things happen on the screen, it can only be
because of the code you have used. There is no magic there.

I supposed there was no magic ;-). Bugs are not magic. But, you know,
sometimes (not very often, in fact now I'm not able to reproduce an example to
show to you) I find very difficult to resize the width of a column. Sometimes I
can resize it only from the Layout view. Sometimes I restart the page from the
beginning, doing the same simple things, and everything works fine. That's why
I asked if somebody have never had the same experience. Just to know.

Bugs are not magic

Most bugs reported here are operator bugs....

I find very difficult to resize the width of a column.

This is an operator bug. You should never have to do this - resize a
column. If you understood tables, you could build all your tables without
every touching a column border or specifying a column dimension. Build your
tables so that they collapse around their contents. They will be completely
stable in that configuration. Resize a column by adjusting the
strategically located cells contents. I never use any cell dimensions other
than 100%. Frequently, the first thing I do to tables is to remove all cell
widths and heights. And I definitely NEVER use Layout mode. You will never
be comfortable with tables as long as you use this.

From now on I'll do everytime as you suggest. Sometimes I have already done.
Sometimes I'm not so sure of what I want to obtain and maybe then I make my
mistakes. I'm learning a lot here and I thank you. This forum is quite
fantastic and you are very expert.
Bye, I have to go to a certain bridge?

But, Murray, if i need a table: three columns different width like this:
<table width="80%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="45%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="20%">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="45%">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>
How do you obtain it using all <td width="100%">&nbsp;</td> ????
Notice that your answer could change my life!!!! ;-)

This is challenging because you have not added up to 100% in the table's
widths! So, I cannot create that table, but try this more valid one on for
size....

<style type="text/css">
<!--
..left { width:45%; }
..middle { width:20%; }
..right { width:35%; }
-->
</style>

....

<table width="80%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FF00FF" class="left">&nbsp;</td>
<td bgcolor="#00FF00" class="middle">&nbsp;</td>
<td bgcolor="#00CCFF" class="right">&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
</table>

Oh, I see? you manage everything with CSS. But if the tables are many more than
one you'll have to define dozens of classes. It's a big deal and requires a lot
of time? Mmmmh, maybe I know your answer?
