[Activetcl] table and scrollbar issues | [Activetcl] help
Hi Gene,

You want to reread the table docs about what the options do.  The -width 
has a different behavior than you seem to expect, although there are 
likely options that cover what you want.

In addition, the toplevel will resize itself to the requested height of 
the children, even growing, unless you set it specifically.

Regards,

Jeff
