tables in a relative positioned layer

I am new to expression web from FP 2003...I created a container layer and changed it to relative postioning and set it to center on the page using the tag proerties set to auto on left and right...I put a table inside the layer with data...one person said that the data in the layer went past the bottom of the layer..in other words that the table expanded past the bottom of the layer that it was in....how can I fix this...I was going to use other relative positioned layers inside the container layer instead of a table but it was too difficult to get them positioned correctly...is there a way to tell the container layer to expand if the table needs to depending on browser, font etc???

You need to have a container layer. Make it relative. Then add an absolute layer with your table in it. The second layer is absolute to the first layer (rather than the browser edges).
Here is an overly simple example for you to get an idea how it all might work:

Use overflow property.
The css tutorial at w3schools will help you with your CSS questions.
