The answers to these questions are eluding me so I'm hoping some of you may be able to point me in the right direction. First question... If you've set a fixed height/width for a block-container, but the content of the block within the container is larger (ie the text overflows), is there a setting to make the block-container 'grow' to continue to encompass the content? Second question... I'm trying to build a table whose columns have a width equal to the block-container in the header cell. I attempted to do this by removing the column-width attribute from the table-column tag, but this seems to cause random columns to size randomly, rather then to size around the block-containers found in the cells. I tested this by adding the background-color attribute to the block-containers and you can definitely see the white-space. Is there a setting to tell the column's cells to 'collapse' around the block-containers? The questions are related as that I want the table to primarily have a specific column width based upon a table-header cell width. The most common cell values have a single line of text, the problem is figuring out how to handle the occasional header who's text flows to 2 or even 3 lines necessitating a wider column-width for that column. Currently I either get no control over column widths with tons of white-space and the table overflowing the page when I don't specify any column-width OR I get the initial set column widths, but have the column header content overflow 1 or even 2 column headers when the content is longer then 1 line of text when I attempt set the column-width as fixed or using proportional-column-width(). Any thoughts would be most welcome. Janean Angeles
