How to Stop HTML Text From Distorting With Different Resolutions

Hyper Text Markup Language is a coding language developed by a scientist named Tim Berners-Lee in the early 1980s. Designed for and now used as the foundation for all websites, HTML is one of the most vital parts of the Internet as we know it. Those who know basic HTML know that there are two ways to handle the position of text inside of HTML tables. HTML text within tables can be set to expand to cover the full width of an end user's screen, which may distort the view from what the designer wants, or set to an absolute value, e.g. 400 pixels.

Step 1

Insert starting and closing table tags, "

" and "," on either side of the desired text within your HTML code if not already done. Insert the starting tag at the beginning of the text and the closing tag at the end.

Step 2

Insert the desired width for your HTML text within the starting "

" tag. You may have to try several different settings before you come up with the proper width setting. When done, your starting tag should look like this with custom width inserted instead of the number 400: "." No additional coding needs to be entered into the closing tag.
