You can lock in the tables so they don't scroll to the side, each will fill the same..except for height..it will grow with the text added.  Different size widths..will give you different sizes tables. This is what I did.

You can also go with a 100% width..for the whole table or not!



These are the settings I used for that table. Note I had six tables across..you add the width, only to the first tables..six, ten or whatever you put for tables across.

I cannot add any content to your table Trixie.  We  need something we can edit. 
Not everyone is into HTML either.

Testing 123 the code Trixie added works. I have to link to my group since HTML does not work here.

Trixie's table don't work because it is a graphic but the code works. LOL

Maybe we need an Auto-Table maker for Aimoo.

Babs...yes I can't do html in here, just add the code for it.  That is a jpg.  If you just copy that code into HTML in here..since you can.  Then you can also edit it.

I can make any type setup in tables you would like.  Give you the code to just copy and paste into the HTML in the editor at Aimoo.

Yes she took picture of her table and posted here babs...........but her code works....she didn't post a table to be edited but posted as jpeg and gave example of code because none of us can post any html.  Jealous people who can't do a lot of stuff made sure Aimoo Admin took that privledge away from people who can do creative and interesting things.  Teddie

Not even MSN had it set where the cells stayed the same.  One reason I did learn a bit of HTML... I'm not even sure Aimoo could add that feature to the script.  I'm not that good. LOL

In MSN the width of the columns stayed the same.

I don't remember it that way....though you could be right.  They don't here though.

Here is the code for you to copy and paste of the Three cells you were trying to do.  Just try it...OK.  We have to learn new things.  Aimoo can't do it all for us...if they can, that would be wonderful, I do agree.  Anything that saves time for members.

How can I make the columns wider than 50?

The vertical and horizonal choices only go as high as 50.


How can I keep the text at the top of the column

Rather than having it centred vertically? 



I need fixed column widths.  Is that possible?  I could be missing something but I don't see any guidelines.

I would like this done in Aimoo if possible. It would be nice to do it on the fly. 

However, I appreciate Blaze's hard work on this.  He is always so helpful.

Mmm, that looks worse now I have posted it.  When I was typing it, the words didn't wrap around (one word per line) and the right column was wider than the left one.

Babs since I can't do the HTML in here for you...I'm showing what you did with that table you had a 600px.

That's the reason the cells/tables spreaded.  If you want it at that size you have to put in a percentage..ie width=75%  (the table I did for you go look at the code again). You can make the text stay at the top too...you'd have do more coding. You can also get the cells to stay just a certain height too..more coding.

I agree would be great if Aimoo would put the tables setup so those options were there. As to the Grid maker.  You use the settings provided to set your cells in all areas.  If a person plays with it for a bit, they get the idea..change the numbers see the effect.  Thanks for giving it a try, I do know it will not make the tables you are wanting. but works great for game setups. 

I did read your message about moving this...will try to get to it also..if you think it worth doing?  The Grid Maker really does make it easier, for non html people. Everthing takes time to learn, once a person gets the hang of it..they think to themselves........well now that wasn't all that hard at all.  The learning process is good for a person.  

Robe...Again the percentage (width of the whole table)  in the first table is the set.  The cells are done using the other percentage....again playing with different percentages give you different effects.

I guess my orignal way for making larger tables is a must.

The Grid Maker only does 50 pixels wide...you Babs would need at least 600px wide to work for your three table set.

I obviously missed the point that I need to open HTML, I only copied and pasted the table without any tweaking.

I think it's worth posting on the Tips Board but wait until Admin returns (I don't think he is here most weekends) and hopefully the Permissions can be changed so you can respond to any questions.

This is the same table as above but in HTML mode, I have changed the width of each column to 300.

I don't speak HTML, LOL, so just playing.


I changed Middle to Top but that didn't do anything about the vertical spacing as you will see in the right hand column.

Here is the code for you to copy and paste of the Three cells you were trying to do.  Just try it...OK. 









     









Which setting do I change so the outside border is not so thick? I have changed different numbers but I would like it thinner. Babs

I also made one of the Grid Maker ones, and added the code differently...your 600...and 200 for each of the cells in both areas (notice where the 200 are) in the code.

To change the border..look where it says border=0  ...that is where you add the size of the borders.134or more will make the border larger.

To align the tables text to the top you must add this    ...if follows on with the    ...text I wrote in the rowSpan If I could show you by highlighting with red, would be easier for you to really see what I mean.  ((((Try that code and type in the first three Rows that you see the 200 in.)))) edited

This seems to work. Thank you.  I have changed the width to 650,  the Cell Padding to  4 and the Cell Spacing to 1.

Is there any reason the text does not fill the line on the right hand side?  Of course it may look different once I have posted it.

Thank you very much.


Babs

Yes Robe... the Grid maker makes grids for games very simple.  You can also copy and paste a background into the editor...then copy and paste the grid in.  Add your content.  Then anyone can copy and paste the grid or whole background and grid you made for games, and edit in a new post. View one here at my site:

You are welcome Babs.  As for the text, it goes as it goes.
Edit do to spelling..if I could spell properly the first time it would be a miracle..lol  Oh wow, links are clickable..terrific!  Well it did work on my first post before editing.
