Table controls / settings

[ZPCAC]

Hello, World !

This is probably a simple solution but I cant seem to figure it out or find an answer on google.

When I insert a table, i want the spacing between the columns to be "Fixed Width". Currently when I add a table and start to add some text the columns seem to shrink and grow according to the text.

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks

Hello,

Have you tried using "width=" with a value in percent or pixels?

One of the best references for html, is this site: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_table.asp

Keep in mind that tables are only supposed to be used if you are displaying a list or some data that needs to be formatted. Typically, CSS is used instead.

Thanks,

Katie,

Im working with a table on a webpage, would I edit the CSS for the layout of the webpage ?

Or where is the CSS located for a webpage ?

Thanks,
Bret

Bret,

Firefox and Chrome both have plug-ins to assist developers with CSS and html changes. I believe Firefox uses Inspector and Google has it built-in as F12 for developer tools. Once you understand how to use these handy helpers, then it should be easy to make changes.

Any style change can be implemented and previewed without changing code. Then, once you have your desired change, then you simply look at the file being referenced and make your changes there. Typically, any custom CSS should be done in a separate .css file so you can easily upgrade your store in the future.

Layouts are not normally handled through CSS. Within Able, there is a Layout editor which can be used to generate the main layout of the page.

Thanks
