Table spacing

Hi all,

Please see this page to see the problem.

http://www.kilroyfilms.com/kilroy/mymemorymontage.htm

So, on the table, I would like the two columns to be the exact same width and
stay that width no matter what size window it's opened in. This is something
that I'm sure is pretty basic, but I'm a moron and can't figure it out! Please
help. What I did to try and fix it was just drag the table out until it was
the same. It looks good in Dreamweaver, but when I preview it or put it on the
web the left side gets bigger.

Thanks in advance.

your columns (td) have no width specified.
<td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC">

change to"

<td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCCCCC" width="400">

do the same for both tds.

You set up the table to be a width of 800 pixels, so while that part works, the
browser is rendering the left column wider than the right, most likely because
there is a bit more text in the left. No problem; here's what you do!

Click in the left column and indicate a width of 50%, then click in the other
column and do the same. This will force each one to be the same width.

Widths for tables, columns, etc. can be expressed in pixels or percent. For
example, you can keep the table width at 800 pixels, then set up one column at
70% and one at 30%. If you change the table width to 500 pixels, the two
columns will "size-down" accordingly to fit within the smaller total width.
Definitely worth experimenting; have fun!

And define a background color for your page.
