I am very new at coding ... in fact i'm just kinda learning as I code. I was told there is a way to make the tables and content in them adjust to fit the size of the screen that they are being viewed on by using width="100%".

I have used lots of tables and lots of images to create the site that I linked to above. Everytime I try to change the table widths everything jacks up. For example the background image in the base table will be left jusified and then repeat itself instead of resizing to fill the table. Then the tables stacked on top will shrink to the size of the content within them.

I am very confused and uneducated. If anyone could offer some help that would be great! Thank you!

You should realize that tables was'nt intended for layouts (http://hotdesign.com/seybold).

Secondly, If you plan to use tables, I would recommend a fix layout, and not a fluid layout.

Hope that keeps you going.

If you have just started learning how to code, i would start by learning CSS and using divs for layouts, it is so much neater and easier to work with once you have the knowledge.
