Setting the table size isn't necessarily enough. Tables tend to do what they
want based on the content. It's also easy to mistabulate the width of all
the fields to come up with a number slightly higher than the actual set
table width. Sometimes a table cell gets set to a percentage by accident
when all other cells are set to strict widths.
One way to assist a table in constraining to an exact size is to make a cell
(like one at the bottom of the table that spans all columns) contain an
image that is the desired width of the table. For example: a footer that is
955 pixels wide, or a transparent gif that is 1 pixel high by 955 pixels
wide.
If you post a URL of the errant page we can try to see what could be going

I have set my page to 955 x 600 and am working in a table of that
dimension. When I view it in a browser (IE 6 1024x768) why does the page
appear about 20% wider?
