HTML Question
 

I'm working on a table. While it's possible to "set" the width of the table itself to some percentage of page width, I can't seem to find a command to set the width of the cells within the table so that each of the two columns gets 50% of the table width. Anyone know how to do this?

What editor are you using?

Here. I took the brackets out so it would display. This is a 500px wide table with two cells, one 70 percent, the other 30 percent.

table width="500"
tr
td width="70%" /td
td width="30%" /td
/tr
/table

Get Dreamweaver. You can set everything, twice!

Coffee Cup. However, I want to learn the commands.

It would be td width="50%" or td width="250px" or whatever you wanted to define the width as.
You can also do the same with the height.

You may want to try HomeSite editer, I made the move to it from coffee cup a couple of years ago and have never looked back.

It allows for manual , wizard or frontpage style designing. with a built in IE type browser.

You can always use a wizard to complete something for you just to see how it codes it.
