To set the width or height of a cell, select the cell and use the Table Data
Inspector. Changing a cell’s size affects the size of the column or row
containing the cell.

Inspecting Tables, Rows, and Cells

An HTML table (

<TABLE>

) is a hierarchical structure, which contains rows

(

<TR>

); rows in turn contain cells (

<TD>

). When you select any of them, the

Inspector shows the path from the selected element up through the page, and
you can inspect any element in the path by clicking its icon. For example, if you
select a table cell, you can inspect the cell (with the Table Data Inspector), the
row, or the table itself.

You can set the HTML properties of any table element (for example, its height
or width) using the Inspector.

Note:

When you type a value (such as number of pixels) in one of the Inspector’s

fields, you must press Enter for the change to take effect. In other words, if you
simply type the value and move to another field, the change does not take place.
