table hacking with css

[julius]

hi im trying to use css to format my blog site which only lets me insert css into certain forms, I dont have access or authority to modify the webpage's code. so I was trying to place a certain flash file into a certain table using <div>, but since the flash is large (and i dont want to resize it) the entire table is moving to the left and messing up. This is when I put the <div> code into a form which apparently outputs to a certain table data. if i do an absolute position, the webpage seems to be modifying its code regularly (to make sure ads are still visible) that flash is moving all over the place everyday, so what i want to achieve is to have the <div> inside the table data, and instead of increasing the size of the table, I want my flash to overflow out of the table .... is that possible??
:confused:

Yes (in theory) set the css

overflow: visiable;

on the element containing the flash file, and possibly a width too.

Alternitively do a

position: relative;

on the table cell

and a

position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;

on the element containaing the flash.

thanx but i already tried that(overflow), the problem is that it doesnt overflow but increases the width of the table so the table data is streched to the left

was that too stupid or too smart??

No it was fine, I just can't think of an answer, it's possible that there isn't one

To use overflow set a fixed width to the element that uses it.
