Table cell width question

Expand Post »
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

<table width="400">
<tr>
	<td ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="MIDDLE">
		Photo to Upload: 
	</td>	
	<td WIDTH="10" ALIGN="RIGHT" VALIGN="MIDDLE">
		<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="photo">
	</td>	
</tr>
</table>

Re: Table cell width question

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...
HTML and CSS Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="photo" style="width: 50px;">
Then you won't have to worry about setting the cell width or what size the upload element will be!

Re: Table cell width question

Thank you for the solution. Don't have enough wokring knowledge of forms to realize that solution was possible. Obviously I should study more.
