Hi all

I seem to have this problem, where if I load a table and insert a image, the greater outer table goes greater in width.

For the likes of me, I cant insert the image and stop the width of the greater outer table from expanding.

Here is my code below, if anyone could help, I would really appreciate it.
================================================================================== <tr>
<td colspan="5" class="bold_eight" bgcolor="#f0f0f0">&nbsp;&nbsp;Selling Tips For Lodges &amp; Maps Of Game Reserves In Southern Africa</td>
</tr>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr>
<td>

<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<tbody><tr>
<td width="30%">
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tbody><tr>
<td>hello</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</td>

<td width="70%">
<table border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tbody><tr>
<td>

</tbody></table>

I don't mean to be one of those people who suggests X when you asked
for Y, but I'm assuming that you're trying to achieve a visual effect
by nesting tables in this way. Have you thought about ditching the
tables (or at least the inner one) and using well-structured HTML &
CSS instead?

If you have considered it, fair enough. However, I think it's one of
those "Doctor, it hurts when I do this / Well, don't do that" type
situations...

Could you show the whole page that you're authoring, so we can get a
better idea of what you're doing?

Regards,

Tim

That is because you havent defined the image's size Brent. Unless you do,
HTML takes it that the actual size of the image is what you want.

We'll need the entire code to determine if the problem is local to your
snippet of code vs. a rendering bug on a previous element/tag.

Which would be correct as your image should be the exact same size it
is to be viewed at.
