Hi guys,

I wonder how do you align your tables/forms? A typical page can have one search form and one result grid. It looks nicer if both are the same width dynamically resized by the larger of the two tables.

So far I used a wrap around table 2 rows by 1 column, inserted the form and the grid into each cell and set their widht to 100%.

Since CCS 3.0 all forms have three tables in total- header, body and and envelope and it is more practical to edit the width in html code than by using their properties page- I have to yet find a property box for formatting the envelope.

Surely there is a nicer way of achieving the same effect? and you could share your experience also for the benefit of other users of this forum.

Thanks,
PG

I tend to set widths to '100%' and ensure there is an outer container (such
as a <div>) to establish the overall width of the page layout.. But this
can leave you with widely-spaced search forms sometimes.
