Hi, My question is not so much about PHP language but more about concept and PHP result. Basically i'm currently working on web application to administrate the web content of a website. My customer would like to have a nice web application interface, so it means a lot of images, and so on. However, he would like also to have as PHP/postgreSQL results some tables with quite enough information, so it means several fields data to collect and to show.... so, a huge width for each table. Here is my dilema... basically and based on web standard all website should have an interface of 1024px (less scrollbar = 1000 px) width. How can i display enough data on such width ? I was thinking to display data into a div and to make this div scrollable in order to respect those 1000px width. I would like to have your experiences point of view in such situation.

Alain: This is a way I solved a similar problem: http://xn--nvg.com/demo <-- if your browser complains about the domain, get a better browser. The difference between "fixed" and "float" is simply if you will allow more than one line per field and allow the table to accommodate the screen width OR force one line per field and expand the table beyond the screen width.
