Re: tables question

My suggestion would be to make it all one table. By having each table
different, the browse is free to interpret how each table would be
rendered, hence your problem.

Thus, the column that suggest 40% would be 40 percent for not just the
column of each table, but for all the rows beneath, and they would be
the same.

You could force it by making the value fixed (width="200") or something
like that, but even that will be subject to interpretation, though not
as much.

Looking at the source of the page, it would not affect things  to
combine the tables.


>>>>
In IE 4.x and Opera 6.0 it does fine.  In NS 4.74, the divider between
the two cells of each table is staggered on the page, even though the
code is copied and pasted each time, the table width is set at 100%, and
the first td is set at 40%.  The content in each cell is not long enough
to cause this problem, even when viewed with larger fonts.
