Table formatting?

i have a bunch of tables on over 100 pages that are aligned with each other through percentages for the width and pixels for the height. the only problem i have is that some tables have more content than what the pixels determine, which expands the table, messing up the others. or it might have little content and have tons of white space.

i use css to format, so how can i fix this? should i just go into each page and set a certain height for each table or is there a way to change something in the css that will make everything pretty

Use <PRE> with tables initially aligned in Courier New font.

<PRE>
Table
</PRE>

You set the width of each element in CSS but it will effect EVERY element that is the same if you don't have classes assigned. For the <td> element, all of your cells will be the same width unless you assign a class to them and specify it in the class. This is just an example:

table { width: 500px;}
td { width: 30px;}

These settings would set every table to 500px wide and every field to 30px wide. You will need to make sure your cell widths add up to your table width so you don't run into problems You don't need to set the width for the <tr> tag because the total width of the table would be the same.
