Hey Web Gurus

Do any of you know how to format a webpage the way I want it?
Basically, I'd like a small, innocuous navbar (made of thumbnail sized pictures or something) on the *right* of the page (next to the scrollbar to make navigation faster).

The following should work:

<table width=100%>
<tr width=100%>
<td width=90%> Page Body Goes Here </td>
<td width=10% align=right> NavBar Code Goes Here </td>
</tr>
</table>

Adjust the 90/10 ratio as you see fit. Alternatively, if you know exactly how many pixels wide the bar will be, (for example, 87):

<table width=100%>
<tr width=100%><td width=100% colspan=2> </td></tr>
<tr width=100% align=right>
<td> Page Body Goes Here </td>
<td width=87 align=right> NavBar Code Goes Here </td>
</tr>
</table>

Again, adjust navbar width as you see fit.

Data cell widths can be awfully unreliable sometimes, so if you really want to lock it down use a table inside a cell (which you might be doing anyway to organize the thumbnails). Set the other datacell (the one with the body) to width 100% and it'll try to grab everything but won't be able to get the amount required to show your navigation table.


<TABLE BORDER=1 WIDTH=100%>
<TR>
  <TD WIDTH=100%>
    ...Body...
  </TD>
  <TD>
    <TABLE BORDER=0 WIDTH=87>
    <TR>
      <TD>
        ...Thumbnail...
      </TD>
    </TR>
    <TR>
      <TD>
        ...Thumbnail...
      </TD>
    </TR>
    </TABLE>

</TR>
</TABLE>
