I use this code for my xanga. but it wont size the width,height I put it in. it just stretches.


<TABLE STYLE="position:static;"BORDER="2" WIDTH="650"HEIGHT="100" bordercolordark="ff99cc" bordercolorlight="ccccff">
<TR>
<TD>
<TABLE STYLE="position:static;"BORDER="2" WIDTH="650"HEIGHT="100" bordercolordark="ff99cc" bordercolorlight="ccccff">

<TR>
<TD>
<TABLE STYLE="position:static;" BORDER="2" WIDTH="650" HEIGHT="100" bordercolordark="ff99cc" bordercolorlight="ccccff">

it still wont size correctly. I think I closed it.I'm not sure.

<TABLE STYLE="position:static;" BORDER="2" WIDTH="650" HEIGHT="100" bordercolordark="ff0000" bordercolorlight="ff3333">
<TR>
<TD>
<TABLE STYLE="position:static;" BORDER="2" WIDTH="650" HEIGHT="100" bordercolordark="ff0000" bordercolorlight="ff3333"></td></tr></table>

</td></tr></table>

i'm not sure why you have those bold parts in the table. And you should add some kind of text or whatever in it otherwise it's not really usefull to use a table ;)

try this code instead (however it wont work on netscape)
add this after the <td> tag:
<span style="overflow:auto;width:#;height:#">
that makes the text inside not go over the width and height you chose and the table will keep the size
