Table widths in pixels giving me a problem ... any ideas ?
Hi,
I have a small design company with approx 40 websites, some of which are 3 to 4 years old.
I "picked up" web design as i went along. Mainly using Fireworks and dreamweaver.
I have recetly bought "LIFT" for dreamweaver and use "A-Promt" software to try and make my sites more accesible, as well as hard-coding the pages. I think i have pickup most of the rules and simple things but find myself stuck on one rule.
When you use Fireworks to export slices and HTML, and then open the generated html page. You find that the webpage, with its slices are all put into a table that has its width set in pixels. If i try to change this the page will go completely out of synch.
Any ideas as to how to get around this. I am a complete enthusiast and am willing to learn new methods, but this has me stumped.
I am currently working my way through my websites without a cost to the customer, as my customers simply don't want to pay for their sites to be accessible. I seem to come accross the view "if some people cant access my site then so be it".
Does enbody else get this answer from their customers ?

I admire your conviction, but what was Mr. T from the A-Team famous for saying?

Ozduck, you'll get used to redux; often engages keyboard before processor
He's harmless and vaguely capable in an intense sort of way
