Question about tables and CSS

#1

I have a table that I've formatted with CSS at:

http://www.serenityboise.com/Salon.htm

I'd like to have a series of sub tables in both the left and right table
cells. The problem I'm having is that if I set the table width to 100%,
then the new table extends over the original table borders which have
been set by CSS.

If this doesn't make sense, let me know, but does anyone have any
suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve

No, I don't think the child table makes itself expand over the parent
table's borders. I think it's the long lines that don't break that are
causing this. Try something like this instead:

<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="79%" class="underlined">Facial from</td>
<td width="21%">$15 </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="underlined">Arm</td>
<td>$20 / $30</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="underlined">Arm</td>
<td>$25 / $40 / $50</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="underlined">Arm</td>
<td>$25</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

Don't worry abut it. Those templates have nothing to do with your problem.

Would something like this work? If I have a CSS listed as #LSaleInfo
which already specifies how the left column is set up, what about a
#LSaleInfo td
{
border-bottom-width: 1px;
border-bottom-style: dashed;
border-bottom-color: #CCCCCC;
}

Would that do the same thing you're refering to?

I haven't uploaded it yet, but it still moves the right border into the
left column. The main tables left column is set at 50% (298) and right
column shows at 50% (278). Where does that difference of 20 come from?

The main table is only 80% wide, and is centered.

No. I think it's the long lines with the dots that aren't breaking.
Hence, they are pushing the table, making it grow. Increase font size
and see.

So, instead of all those points, I split the cell into two. Why not
paste the code into a DW doc and look?
