Re: Wrapping text in tables for NN4

Some browsers doen't recognize mixed values for table widths.  Use
percentiles for your cells if you use percentiles for the table
itself.  If you need a fixed width in a percentile cell, it's best
to nest a fixed width table in that cell...but don't nest too
deeply!

Hello HWG,

 Ok, here's another #@$%! NN problem.  I wouldn't be surprised if
this
  has been answered before, but searching the archives produced
  nothing.

  I have a table structure that looks something like this:

  <.table width="95%" border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="5">
  <.tr>
      <.td  width="450" valign="top" align="left" colspan="2"
class="tdcontent">misc
      content<./td>
  <./tr><./table>

  In NN4.x, the "misc content" fails to wrap to the size set with
the
  width attribute, and produces horizontal scrollbars instead.  In
IE
  4, it works fine (of course), also in NS6.
