Re: Change fixed > variable width? I've gone the other direction -- converting variable width templates that I liked to fixed width. But the process is probably similar.
What you'll need to do is convert pixel-size width specifications in your table to percentages. Best way to get an idea of how this works is to compare your templates with a good variable width template like Peaklime. One quick way to make changes, if you use Dreamweaver, is to select the tables you want to change, and use the 'convert pixel widths to percentages' icon -- often this works, but not always. If you're comfortable with raw HTML code, you're better off editing it directly -- starting by looking for the table the contains the entire template (if one exists) and making it's width 100%. Work from the outside in. A typical convention tends to be making the left and right columns about 20% and the center column 60%. |
