Auto-resizing stops working in tables when copied...

[Ernie Sty]

I am taking tables out of frameless HTML files and inserting them into a
template that has frames. (Before you start in on how awful frames are, I
already know. I am doing this for a small group of people and these pages
will never be posted to the web, plus frames are required for this project.)
In the framed page, the tables are too wide to see all at once and you have
to scroll to the side to see them, but in the original pages, the tables
automatically resize, wrapping the text in each column so that you don't
have to scroll to the side...

How can I get the tables in the framed pages to keep this automatic resizing
attribute?

Just a thought, check if the tables are set to a fixed width or
percentages. If you have nested tables, one of those could have a fixed
width. Check the original to see if it resizes at the extremes... very
big windows and very small.

URL?
Have you validated the markup?

I finally figured it out. I did a global find and replace and replaced the
cost "width=" with nothing. BAM! Fixed it right up.
