Help with tables...

[Mindy Sue]

I am working with Dreamweaver CS4 and am still in the learning process of CSS and HTML and Dreamweaver. I hope I can explain this the way that it is in my head.... I have made a table on one page, and I want to make a table on another page that is a different size. I have the code in the style.css folder, how do I place the code for the other table and keep them separate. I certainly hope this makes sense.

Very VERY easy.

Use classes. If im getting what you saying right. You currently using something like this

table {
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid #000
}

So if you had to use classes it would change to this;

table.shortwidth {
width: 200px;
border: 1px solid #000
}

table.standard {
width: 300px;
border: 1px solid #000
}

Then just assign them in your HTML

<table class="standard">
<tr>
 <td>
  &npsp;
 <td>
</tr>
</table>

Good idea macneato !

This is the way to use CSS

Normally I do not use table and sometimes forget that table tag support CSS on it! and not just for border or colors

You can also use inline CSS where you created the table, like below

<table style="width:20%">
-
-
-</table>

<table style="width:50%">
-
-
-
</table>
