Sizing your tables:
In this lesson we will cover how to determine the format
of your table and how to size the table.

Sizing a table:
There are 2 ways to size tables and cells, we can use pixels or the
percentage (%) of the viewers screen. In my opinion it is best
to decide which method you will use for the entire table and not mix
the two methods, although we can mix the two methods if we so choose
Screen resolution:
Boring subject but necessary. Screen resolution is measured in
pixels, the most common screen resolution (about 50% of users) is
800 pixels wide X 600 pixels in height, the second most common
(about 45%) is 1024 pixels wide X 768 in height or larger.
Height really doesn't matter, but width does, we don't want to force
the viewer to scroll in order to see the entire page.
There are a couple of ways to satisfy the majority of viewers.
We can set table size at 100% or less of the viewable screen, or set
it in pixels to satisfy the most common (800 X 600). I design
pages using both methods. To satisfy the smaller resolution
setting, I set the table width at 756 pixels, this leaves room for
scroll bars and margins. When designing at 100%, bear in mind
that if your monitor is set at 1024 or larger, viewers at 800 will
see a very different screen than you do. The browser will
scrunch your 1024 page to 800, moving everything vertically.
Get in the habit of changing your screen resolution in order to see
what other viewers see.
