need help with "width" in %

Ok

I have a little problem with my header. a friend of mine made the "width" in % a while back and over time i have seen that it changes shape by itself depending on what subpage i visit. as hes on vacation in italy for another 1½ week i need some help.

The code bellow is from my header, it's the navigation menu. everytime i try to change the with from % to actuall number like the table itself width='88%' to width="1130" it get's totaly messed up, the links aint next to each other anymore etc.

can someone help me to cahnge it from % to number so it actully works? cause i justbreak it all the time :/ the table itself need to be 1130

</table>
</div>
<div align=center>
<table width='88%' class=tdrow1 cellspacing='0' cellpadding='5' align='center' border='0' id="table2">
<tr>
<td class='row1'  width='10%'  valign='middle'><a href='{baseWeb}/index.php'>

HTML:

 

Been a while since I've laid out any new HTML, so I might be wrong...but IIRC you have to be consistent in your use of % or px - so if you define the table width at 1130px you can't set the table cells to 10% but have to do the math. 113px each?

 

chorizo is correct, how wide does the navigation menu need to be? Perhaps you should change all the widths to something fixed or increase the percentage if 10% of 1130px is too small for it. Or lower it if it is too big.

 

thanks for having me checking that again! i actully did that erlier but noticed i had counted 10 menus buttons and not 11 and devided it over 10 so it became totaly wrong, thanks again!
