This problem has had be backed into a wall ALL day and it is driving me absolutly CrAzY and I'm not sure how to solve this problem.

I've been working on my website, which is promarily a web-log style, I'm using GreyMatter as the base and I have been trying to design something that I think is workable. So this morning I came up with a design I really liked and started to work on a template.

Here is my problem: I am in need of having the page scroll SIDEWAYS (Left to Right) and I need to do with with a table. The real issue here is that I keep adding "posts" to the table (which is I add another collumn) and it resizes everything. (Unless I add in a place holder cell at the end, but I can't go in and tweak the place holder cell each time I make a post)

Here's what I need: I need someone to tell me if it is at all possible to somehow tell the code to take the number of posts on the screen at the moment and multiply by the number of pixels I want the collumn to be (400) and then change the table size accordingly. Something like: (# of posts) * (400 pixels) = (table size).

Please email me (Webmaster@tibennet.net) if you want more information on what I am trying to do, or even if you want to answer my question outside the forum. I thank all readers and answerers in advance this has my head hurting.

i have no clue what greymatter is, but this sounds entirely possible in just about any server side scripting language.
