CSS Tables
Forget about my post below. I am using tables to get the desired effect, which seems to work well.
Is there any way to make the frames a exact size, rather that dependent on the text? So if I use the same table over and over, the spacing will be the same.
Thanks

hello…
you can add width attributes to table cells – would that be what is missing?
if not, please post an example and we can take a look…

Right now the size of the boxes vary to the size of the text. Can I add an absolute position to a table? See, it gets used over and over and I want it to be consistent each time, not dependent on the length of the text.

hello…
you can do this via css or you can just use table cell attributes too – for example:
<table width=”600″ cellpadding=”0″ cellspacing=”0″ border=”0″>
<tr>
<td width=”400″ align=”left” valign=”top”>foo</td>
<td width=”200″ align=”left” valign=”top”>bar</td>
</tr>
</table>and then your content will wrap to that width unless it’s a fixed string with no spaces in it…
have you tried that way as well?

You can specify fixed width to cells on first row. Which will keep the table same in spite of the text inside varying.
