dynamic pages that expand and contract. How to build with old table layouts
I know how to use divs and make an expandable page but am not sure how to
convert an old site that was built in NOF and I now want to expand it to 960
pixels but be able to have the content expand and contract like percentage
based CSS pages.
Especially the content layout where it is generally just a big text box. I
think I know how but would rather get some additional brain power from the
news group.
Thanks

Re: dynamic pages that expand and contract. How to build with old table layouts
When using NOF, I much prefer fixed width, centered. I wrote this tut to
show how you "could" do it in NOF - Liquid layouts in NOF 8, 9 or 10 with a
table-based layout inside a text box.
http://alt-web.com/Tutorials/liquid_layouts.html
But a few words of caution: Liquid layouts produce very long lines of text
on wide displays. Liquid layouts use zero margins, so you sacrifice
MasterBorders. They are tricky to work with. IMHO it is much easier to build
liquid layouts in DW or some other html editor with CSS, like so.
body {width:100%; margin:0 auto; padding:0; text-align:center}
#wrapper {min-width:960px; max-width:1280px; text-align:center; margin:0
auto; width:auto; padding:0;}
#content {text-align:left}

Re: dynamic pages that expand and contract. How to build with old table layouts
Thanks...understood. We decided to leave the site with a dynamic layout but
set at 960 for a 1024 resolution and left aligned. Thanks for the info.
