Ah, thanks for the info!

Do you know if there is a limit to the width of a table?

Right now I have my image cut up and set in a table that is currently 600 pixels wide.

As far as I know, no - but you probably should rememember that many of us have screen resolutions of 800 x 60, so when you set a table wider than 750 with borders, etc. we'll have to scroll. :) (I set most of my tables at 600 - 650, and use multiple tables with lots of borders and cellpaddings.

When nesting tables (say three on top of each other or inside each other), use width=100% for the first one, specify the width of the next one at 90% (play with the numbers), and the next one at 80% (for example).

Not necessary to specify height except in certain cases.

The 100% table will cover the entire area your system allows, the 90% table will cover 90% of that 100% table, and the 80% table will cover 80% of that 90% table.

If you prefer a narrow table, start with width=60%, for example. Play with numbers, colors, borders, padding, cell spacing, etc.
