Table cell width question

Jan 21st, 2008

So I am trying to do some sizing formating with my HTML code, and I did something that works but I need to make sure I didn't do anything bad that will come up and bite me later.

I essentially am creating a form to upload files and since I don't know the size of the Browse File element, I made the width of the column it's in super small. This way it would resize itself.

How bad of a thing am I doing?

Thanks ahead as always,

Sergio

Very bad ;-)
Some browsers may actually listen to you and not bother to expand it, so I would suggest you simply set the size of your input element instead...
