Percentage vs. fixed-width tables
When laying out a page using a table, set the table's width at 100%.
That way, the contents of the page can stretch to fill the whole
monitor, regardless of the monitor's resolution.
Creating pages with fixed-width tables offers precise control.
However, fixed-width tables cut off pages on low-resolution monitors,
while wasting space on higher-resolution monitors:
Page: laid out using a table 600 pixels wide
Monitor used to view page: 1280 pixels wide
