I have created fixed tables on my website for a photo show and clicking on each image opens & enlarges the image however I would like to create a fixed table with 2 different size "boxes". one would have the image that can be clicked to enlarge and under that "box" will be another "box" of a smaller size that will have the item number and clicking on that "box" will take the user to my store to purchase the item with a link.
can it be done? I know i can do it with the same fixed size "box" but i would like to use 2 sizes. thanks

Have you tried using 2 tables each consisting of 1 row/col (i.e. a single cell) sized the way you want? You can then load them with their content, align them, and then group them to form a single object.

i can try that but it seems like a lot of work
i have pages to do
the photo show idea using tables is the perfect solution for me to display itmes to customers to have them enlarge and view but i thought the idea of the text box that links right to the shopping cart would be perfect. i have used the photo show for another site that is just images and it great. unless there is something else in the software that already is set up to do this. i will try the idea and see how much work it is. like i said in the first post i know i can just make the same sizes and use one for image and one for text
thanks so much

I'm having trouble visualizing just what you want to do -- in particular your second "box". Does that even need to be a box? I'm thinking of something like a thumbnail with a caption underneath -- the link on the "caption" could take the visitor to the store.

For some examples see here. Imagine there is a link on the thumbnail captions.

i have several website that i show our items
on some of the websites they can buy them in our online store. once i did a photo show in a family website i realized it would work perfectly for me in the business sites but i want customers to both click to enlarge and click to link to the store to buy on impulse before they go to something else. if you look at this site i just did a photo show

if you look at this site i will make the boxes smaller and add more charms but i want to add text and a link to the store but the only way i can see to do that is another box since i am using the click on the image to enlarge so i cannot use the click to link to the store.
i hope i explained this correctly. i know how i want it work i just not sure how to do it unless i just make the same size boxes and use one row for images and one row for text.
i appreciate your help, thanks

SiteSpinner's table tool is not as flexible as directly coding a table in HTML. There are table and cell properties you could use to achieve something similar to what you want, but not with SiteSpinner.
