Hi Guys

I am working on Dreamweaver, still a newbie. I am trying to create a fixed table, lets say 700p width by 500p height. I want this table size to be fixed. Meaning that if my text or anything i insert goes below the 500p space it stop. Once I set the width and height, if type more, the height adjusts itself (increases). I dont want this to happen.

What I am trying to achieve here is for consistent page size from on page to another within my site. Any help with this.

Thank you in anticipation.

Try using CSS and the overflow property. It *should* take the 'extra' content and insert a scroll bar to see it....

I doesnt seem to work. I am not sure if I am doing it right. How do I fix the width and length?

If you just want that extra text to disappear into the ether, after creating your table and setting height and width to the sizes you want in the properties area, apply overflow:hidden to the entire table through whatever mechanism in DW allows you to control an object's style through CSS (check DW help feature if you're having trouble - it should be easy enough to do). That should do the trick, I think. overflow:scroll will give you scrollbars.
