It isn't causing any problems with my custom CSS. Nice work.

The "template" in which you wrote your text required that I scroll from left to right to read an entire sentence ....and then scroll back again, from right to left on order to read another...and so on, and so forth
In a word.....
Yuck!

The "template" in which you wrote your text required that I scroll from left to right to read an entire sentence ....and then scroll back again, from right to left on order to read another...and so on, and so forth It looked just fine here...

I had to use PRE in this article--which, as I noted, can cause problems. Which version Web browser and what Operating System are you using?
To: Dan Day
In my case, I can't see the entire sentence on the screen........ the last 2 characters of each sentence are not being shown.......I have a scroll bar showing at the bottom, and must use it to see the entire text.
I'm using IE.

Testing, one two three testing.... I'm going to try typing a really long continuous line here to see whether it wraps properly when posted. Wish me luck. |

It looks fine with Netscape

Does this mean we can no longer just type a message or simply cut and paste an article?
Will there be prizes for the prettiest or neatest postings? regardless of content?
Since I don't spend all day, every day, reading Free Republic, I am confused by what these formatting threads mean to the non-professionals among us.

Yes, it's because I used PRE to format the display of the template code. PRE formatted text does not wrap to its container.
If I change my display resolution from 1024x768 to 640x480, I get the effect you are describing.

Hmmmm........

No, no, no. This is just a tool I am making available;....

....hopefully easy enough for the non-professional to use.
Just copy and paste.
No one has to use it.

Well, of course not. But we have to see it if others choose to post with it.
If people start setting their left and right margins manually in their style sheets to provide indentation on pages which
don't use your TABLE template, then when we view a page with your template, your table tries to use 100% of the space. Which means that it will always overflow on the right side by the same amount as the CSS indent was specified for.
It seems that articles posted in this style need to have a way of determining any pre-existing margin settings and inheriting them properly before determining the width to use for the TABLE template.
