Use layer into Table

I made a webpage with tables, 3 columns, the left and right one are procentual,
uumh like you set frames relative.
My problem is how to set a layer into a cell so when the resolution become
smaller the layer stays into the cell in stead of staying fit on the place you
set the layer.. Layer linked to the cell or something, hope someone can help me.

Thnx anyway.

Please don't put layers into table cells.

The best way to do this is to have the layer and the table both move to the
same center point.

It depends on how you are using absolute positioning on the page, as to
which method might be best, but in either event, this will work -

Change this -

</head>

to this -

<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>

change this -

<body ...>

to this -

<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">

and this -

</body>

to this -

</div>
</body>

and see if that helps.

Do you know about css?

The idea is that you insert your layer (which is absolutely positioned,
which is why it won't move along wilth your tables) into a <div>
container which is relatively positioned. The absolutely positioned
layer will then take its top/left cordinates from the top/left of the
relatively positioned <div>.

Below is a crude example which should solve your problem, if you can
understand how it works that is.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>

<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td id="leftCell">Left Cell</td>
<td id="centerCell">
Center Cell
<div id="holder">
<div id="content">This is an absolutely positioned layer. It will move
when the browser window is widened or narrowed.</div></div></div>
</div></td>
<td id="rightCell">Right Cell</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
