Okay, I've worked out a partial solution to your problem. Maybe someone else
on the list can figure out the rest.
What I've done is to assign a white background to the body of the page, then
nested a table with a white background and a static width inside a table
with a blue background and a dynamic width. This way the width of the white
area in the center stays the same regardless of the width of the browser.
I'm not sure how to make the height attributes do the same thing, because
the last time I checked, height attributes in tables didn't validate.
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="0" width="95%" align="center"
bgcolor="#0E3259">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="500" align="center"
bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td align="center" width="500">
<!-- here is where the content goes -->
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<p>Here is a table nested inside another table.</p>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
<!-- content stops here -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
HTH,
Dusty
