Greetings, everyone

Many HTML Editors that generate tables, especially the WYSIWYG ones, specify
the width of the table (and even individual cells) in pixels. Such code is
highly dependent upon monitor resolution. It's far safer to use a percentage
of screen width, e.g., <TABLE WIDTH="100%"> to avoid forcing users to employ
a horizontal scroll.

Thanks
