How do I fix writing on page?

[AD62]

Hi,

I'm new to webdesign. I use Dreamweaver MX 2004 and I've created a page and it looks ok when I view it in my browser.

The problem I have is that when I drag the right hand edge of the browser in to say half way accross my screen, the writing on my page moves and rearranges on new lines so that it can still be viewed in a the narrowed version of the browser. I don't want this to happen. I want the user who drags the edge of the browser in so the browser is only half the normal width to only see half the page. I was wondering if anyone could advise me how to solve this.

Thanks.

Best wishes

Easy to fix. What you have to do is edit your table properties to absolute widths. What you described above is tables whose measurements are set to percentages... the default is 100%. Change those percentages to sizes that read px instead, for instance: <table width="490"></table> the px is "understood when you use such measurements.
