I'm new at this html stuff so please bare with me. I'm supposed to design a fake website in dreamweaver for a company that uses a table for the layout along with a logo and four other pages. I have the table made but when I add content the table dimensions change. I'm not quite sure how to explain it. The table is to have the logo at the top, the navigation to the left, the main info to the right along with the copyright stuff on the bottom. When you click the links they are to open in the main area. Here is what I have so far:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>

<body id="body">

<table align="center" border="2" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><img src="logo.jpg"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="128" height="331" id="left">
<h4><a href="index.htm">HOME</a></h4>
<h4><a href="about.htm">ABOUT US</a></h4>
<h4><a href="products.htm">PRODUCTS</a></h4>
<h4><a href="services.htm">SERVICES</a></h4>
<h4><a href="contact.htm">CONTACT</a></h4>
</td>
<td width="667" id="main">

</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td id="footer" colspan="2">
<h5>Copyright ©</h5>
</td>
</tr>

</table>
</body>
</html>
When I start to add content to the table the dimensions change. How do I make it where everything stays the same when I click the links and add content? I'm really sorry if I sound confusing. I'm just learning html.
