I'm trying to create a 3 column table where the middle row expands depending on browser size. I've got the first column locked at 26 pixels wide, and I've got the third column with a designated width of 69 pixels. I have no width attribute specified for the middle column.

This works (as far as expanding goes)...but sometimes the 3rd column (the 69 pixel) one gets bigger if a big word is there. I guess I know why... the word takes more horizontal space than the column, so it just takes extra space..but I don't like the program ignoring my instructions.

Anyway to make the width command absolutely 69?

You could try making the inner column width 100%.

Nope. The table will always expand to fit the content.

You could try it as a layer instead of a table?
