Safe Size Table

Safe size tables are tables that fit into the width of the monitor no matter how low its resolution is. Currently the lowest resolution monitors display a width of 800 pixels. Hence, my safe size table should not be wider than 800 pixels. It is important that my table grid is safe size, because otherwise some of my visitors with low resolution monitors will have to scroll left to right to read every line of text on my webpage. This is not a very userfriendly thing to do.
