  When I insert a table in my blog, everything looks good in the visual editor. But when I click the preview button, the table columns are stretched so that the table widths match the width of the page. I don’t want that to happen. Any ideas? Also this does not happen when the border is set to zero border =”0″

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  The table will stretch to fit the space provided automatically. The best way to fix this would be through using custom CSS and the following code:

  table {
  width: 50%;
  }

  Please note, in order for this to work, you will need to purchase the Custom Design upgrade shown here:

  The HTML version (using width=”pixels”) attribute is not supported in HTML5.

  Let me know if you have any additional questions!
