Converting table-based layout grids to tables

Converting a table-based layout grid to a table

You can convert table-based layout grids to standard HTML tables with fixed table cell sizes and then use the Table

Inspector to make the table cells resizeable in the browser window. (See "To fix table, column, or row size conflicts"

on page 281.)

When you convert a table-based layout grid to a table, GoLive strips out all of the special code such as cool gridx,

gridy, and cntrlrow, but it leaves a control row of empty cells at the bottom of the table that's one-pixel high, a control

column of empty cells one pixel wide at the right ends of each row in the table, and Netscape Spacer elements inside

the empty cells. You can remove the control row and column from the converted table or you can replace the Spacer

elements within the empty cells with provided spacer.gif transparent images. (Spacer elements or transparent GIF

images are used to solve a problem displaying empty table cells in Netscape browsers. Spacer elements are ignored

by Internet Explorer browsers.)

By removing the GoLive code, you'll lose the ability to freely move objects around on the page unless you convert the

table back to a CSS-based or table-based layout grid.
