AW: Re: Width attribute in TD within NN (was Table Assistance)

A good solution for this width problem within the NN is to use a 1x1
transparent gif dot instead. At least thats what I always do. Just replace
the width="1" in the image tag of the transparent dot with the width you
need your <td> to be.

Hi Cindy,

Well I'm using NN 4.08, I thought about going to 4.51, but when I went to
their site I got this msg "You have the most up-to- date version.'  Hmm
guess 4.51 is just there to look like Netscape's being doing upgrades.

Maybe I'm defining the width wrong in the <TD> tag all this time, how have
you been using it. Because as far as I can tell I've been doing it
correctly. I've been to www.w3.com site to find this out and I came across
the information that using the width attribute in a <TD> is actually
incorrect and that it's being faded out. So we're all going to have to find
a new way of doing this if in fact this happens.

I hope they change their mind I really like being able to use it, for at
least IE at the moment.

Cheers,
