Editable region size

[buz0340]

hi,

Hopefully, I am on the right forum. I am creating a table based template with
the editable regions in a single two column table. My question is how to make
the size of the editregion non-editable. I want it to never exceed a height of
690 pixels. Text will be placed within the editregion. When I drop text from
a word document into one of the editregions, the table will lengthen to however
long it needs to be. I look at the code and the table size still says 690, but
obviously it isnt. Also, it looks like the editregion has an automatic margin
on it. Anyone know how I can get rid of it?

Thankyou for any help,

buz

The DW general forum would be a better venue for this kind of question.

Template regions have no layout function. You would have the same problem
whether you were using templates or not. Your question is really related to
the basic layout method you have used for the page, i.e., the HTML
infrastructure of the page, not to any given editable region property.

What you have described is how HTML works. Containers expand to hold their
contents. You can alter this behavior, but by doing so you open a pandora's
box of issues.

If you are seeing a table height specification of 690, you need to be aware
that table height is invalid HTML and will be ignored by the browsers.
