<body>
<table border width="667" height="447">

<tr>

<td colspan=2 width="657" height="118" bgcolor="#000000">Cell 1 Top table</td>

not exactly. i want the top black table to be 100% across the screen. i also want cell three to strecth the remaining space of the page minus the 300 pixels of cell 2.

thanks for the help and link

why don�t you use layers and css?

code:

---

<html>
	<head>	
		<title>coldarchon</title>	
	</head>
	<body bgColor=Black text=White Link=#333333 vLink=Black aLink=White>
	<div id="kopf" style="position:absolute; top:0; left:0;
		width:138%; height:10%; background-color:#333333; color:#999999; 
		font-family:tahoma; font-size:9pt; font-weight:bold;">
		this is a top table
	</div>		
	<div id="tabelle1" style="position:absolute; top:10%; left:0;
		width:300px; height:100%; background-color :DarkRed; color:#999999; 
		font-family:tahoma; font-size:9pt; font-weight:bold;">
		this is nav
	</div>
	<div id="tabelle2" style="position:absolute; top:10%; left:300;
		width:100%; height:100%; background-color :DarkGreen; color:#999999; 
		font-family:tahoma; font-size:9pt; font-weight:bold;">
		 here is where the fucking content should be!
	</div>
	</body>
</html>

with a little script you can adjust the tables. Just get the browser attributes.

*edit*

forgot to disable smilies, yes I�m a rookie ...
