Problem With Web Page

Iframes

[jereece]

First look at my web page: <Sorry, no personal URLs. See TOS [webmasterworld.com]>

Now the problems. On the right side I have a table that shows a scrolling web page using a java script. The problem is when the parent page loads, the container table loads in an expanded view. Then I guess when the table size code is interpreted by the browser it shrinks to the correct size. I have manually coded the size of the width of the table, but for some reason it initially shows about twice a wide. How can I stop this initial size change?

Also, I have changed the cell padding to minimize the border in the quick news scroll table, but for some reason the margin on the right side is way too much. How can I make the text fit better? I would like only a small margin on the left and right.

I appreciate any help.

Here's a guess - there's an error in your table mark-up that requires the browser to go through error recovery routines. Something like extra/missing/incorrectly nested <td> elements.

Have you run your page through the W3C validator [validator.w3.org] and come back with a clean bill of health?

On the second issue you mention (assuming that fixing errors does not clear it up also) your subtitle for the thread is "iframes". If you are using an iframe, then padding should also be set in the document that gets loaded into the iframe, not just the table cell that holds the iframe.
