Hi,

Still having problems with tables. If I have a table that is 200 wide and
have 5 items across that have a width of 40, should each cell not be the
same width (assuming the contents are not wider than 40), or I am doing
something wrong here?  This is in a nested table, but from the way I
understand it, the width of the main table should not affect the width of
the inner table, but at this point I don't have clue.

Any insight on this is appreciated as this has always caused me problems.

i.e.

<TABLE WIDTH=300>
<TR>
<TD>

    <TABLE WIDTH=200>
    <TR>
    <TD WIDTH=40>Item 1</TD>
    <TD WIDTH=40>Item 2</TD>
    <TD WIDTH=40>Item 3</TD>
    <TD WIDTH=40>Item 4</TD>
    <TD WIDTH=40>Item 5</TD>
    </TR>
    </TABLE>

</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
