tables

"The value you entered wouild make this table become smaller than its minimum size. It will be adjusted to a valid value."

But when I change the width of the columns individually, it re-sizes the other colums so the overall table width remains the same.
How can I make all columns and the overall tale less wide?

Thanks

If your columns have been set to a given number of pixels, say 25, and you
have 5 columns, then your table MUST be a minimum of 125 pixels wide. Five
columns times 25 pixels equals 125 pixels. Your table is the "container"
for ALL the columns, which is why you are being forced to have a table big
enough to hold the total width of the columns. If you want your table to be
100 pixels wide, then set the column width to a percentage, rather than a
fixed number. Example: You want five columns in your 100 pixel wide table,
then column 1 would be 20% and column 2 would be 20% etc. up to column 5.
In this way, if you decide to make your table 105 pixels wide later, the
columns will adjust accordingly.

Hi, just a question about tables - is it possible to make them scrollable???

For example having some content in the middle of a table that can be
scrolled up and down?

If so, how can this be done?

Thanks alot for your help.

In the cell (td-tag) you want the scrollable content, place an iframe:
<td><iframe scr="foo,html" width="100%" height="100%"
scrolling="yes"></iframe></td>. Won't work in old browsers, though. Go
here for details about attributes:

And suffers from all the same usability problems that accompany
regular framed pages.

Cut and paste?

If you're referring to Adobe Table, I think you might be able to export
as tab delimted text and then place that in ID.

Someone also suggested copying and pasting from Table to Excel. Then the Excel file can be opened in InDesign.

What is the easiest way to embed a photo on our homepage while having a table
on the left hand side of the page. We have been trying to import a jpeg onto
the homepage but the picture always is displayed under the table. Is it best to
use columns? What is the advantage of using columns?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
