Re: percent or pixel in table tag

I think you were fed the "taboo of the week".  Nowadays it's something 
completely different, but valid.  The choice should be yours whether you use 
percent of pixel.  The idea is to design a site, and do whatever you have to 
do to make it look the same way in a browser.  That doesn't necessarily mean 
it's good practice use a 800x600 pixel gif of your homepage - text and all.  
Download time is still an issue for most people whose 56K modem is really a 
48K ball and chain.
