Despite suggestions here earlier, i'm still having problems with my table
widths, in Netscape.

And i hope someone can help with 2 small (but significant) problems.

Please, open http://mysite.freeserve.com/bbm/MilesStone/MSProducts.htm

in Netscape 6

All tables are on view, and at full width.

If you click on a "details" button, nothing happens (as default ought to be
folded away, but i want to show what is happening) then
click again and the table hides, then
click again, and the table opens.
But now, the table is now much *less* than 100% wide.

This does not happen in IE or Opera;  and i cannot trace why NS should do
this (but it *defaults* to full width when the table is first set up; the
problem only occurs after the table has been folded away and unfolded).

NS also loses the cell border between product and price, which no other
browser does.
Hence, Rockery has its price right-aligned - but I'd much prefer to get my
cell border line back!


Also -
When my styles were all in html, cellpadding=5px worked fine :-)
Now i have moved my styles into a css, i cannot persuade cellpadding:5px or
cellpadding-right:5px or anything to give me any space within the cells.
Other than including a few &nbsp; to give me cellpadding, can anyone show me
how to get this to work in css?

It *must* work, the book is quite clear about the syntax; but my site is
quite clear that the code i use does not work, and as far as i can see, i am
using css2 syntax.

Many thanks for any suggestions on either of these two (3) puzzles -

PS hope this gets through, as my last posting to this list did not :-(
