I think Bobsie meant to say set the table width at 100%. Then four columns with cell tags set at 25% would all be spaced the same.
No, Bobsie said what he meant to say. If you set the table to 100% width, then it will not leave room for anything else that may be desired on the left or right side of the table. If it is set to 80%, then 20% of the screen on the right or left (or 10% on both sides), depending on how the table is aligned, is available for other HTML code.
The <td> cells being set to a width of 25% refers to the table width available, not the screen width. That is why using percentages are so useful versus specifying a set pixel width. So, each cell would be 25% of the 80% available, or 20% of the total screen width.
One of my mottos is: Say what you mean but mean what you say.
If you have a question about something I said, then feel free to ask it. I will be glad to provide any clarification. If you see a glaring error I have made (and I do make them from time to time), please do point it out to me and I will correct it. However, please do not attempt to speak FOR me. Everything I write about is based on some experiences that I have had and I definitely have a lot of experience with setting up categories (and links) in table data cells.
Thanks.
