I have been doing web development for a while now (as a hobby) but
there is one thing I never understood. It's about tables and pixels
widths.

For example,

1.) If I make a table at tell it to be 800 pixels wide, with border="1"
(which I don't think is 1 pixel... but just size 1) is the table
something like 796 pixels wide, ple 4 pixels for the border? Or 800
pixels wide, plus 4 pixels for the border? (a total of 804).

2.) If I do the same thing as question 1, but with no border, I assume
my table is in fact 800 pixels wide... so, can I toss in an 800 pixel
wide image and have it fit perfectly (none if it is clipped)?

3.) I normally always set my cellspacing and cellpadding to zero, but
if I don't, how does that affect the answers to the other questions?



I understand I'm asking allot... but it's always bothered me and I
never found any documentation to help me. if anyone can answer these
questions for me I'd be very grateful.

Thanx in advance!
