The first is of the problem. I place pictures of my mum’s art in the cells to the right and for some reason, the damn cells on the left have to expand wth the ones on the right, leaving me with a completely stuffed up navigation. You can see a normal navigation in the second pic. I’ve been trying to make those cells on the left go little to match the website template. It seems to be impossible, I’m using Frontpage and no I can’t do any coding, is there any function within the program that I’m missing where I can just easily select for this to NOT happen?
this is driving me nuts, if i can’t do it i’m going to have to send her to a pro where she will spend hundreds of dollars.
I tried to paste some code in here but it exceeds the character limit. Isn’t there some way I can just do this through thr buttons on frontpage? I need to be able to do this to about 40 damn pages, so it needs to be simple. It’s looking like a pro is the only way out.
Hey sory for swearing I’m just pretty pissed off with this website. Thanks for your help.

Set the cell width to your desired proportion in the

tag. It’d be easier if I could see your code. It really isn’t hard to learn html/css on your own. Take about a week to study for about an hour a day and you could easily solve this problem on your own. If you are using the same styles for a table on 40 pages, then your best bet would be to create a .css file and link each page to it. Frontpage, or any other wysiwyg software out there are not always accurate and I wouldn’t suggest using one if you don’t have to. I don’t know how frontpage does things, so I can’t tell you how to do this with that program. Just try to find a table/cell width menu and adjust it.
