# Creating a Table

 * I have created a table using the html editor in WordPress but when I publish 
   the table it erases all of the code except for the first table row. Is there 
   a plug-in or something that will allow me to create a table. WP-Table is too 
   simplistic (unless there is a way to modify it).
 * This table will be used to track student progress similar to a bar graph and 
   I need to be able to update it fairly easily and define the background color 
   in each cell based on the student’s level.
 * I am not an expert with html or using blog software – in the learning stages –
   so responses should assume that I don’t know how to do anything.
 * Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

 * As long as you make sure that the table width is smaller than that of ‘content’
   div (REF: style.css), all tables should be inserted into your articles with no
   problem. I insert at least 1 HTML table in every article to display screenshots.

 * I’m not sure if I know what you mean. The stylesheet for the theme I’m using 
   shows the width of content to be 63%. My table width is 55%. I think the table
   is smaller than the content.
 * It shows the first table row but everything after the first </tr> is erased. 
   Since the whole table is the same width and it shows the first row – I’m thinking
   it must be something else. Any other ideas?

   My table width is 55%.
 * Which is bigger, 63% of A or 55% of B? Anyway, good luck to you…
